While Gemini tends to get most of the attention when it comes to the Google’s AI work, there are other interesting projects from the brand that deserve recognition as well. NotebookLM is a fascinating tool that’s meant to be a virtual research assistant. It compiles tons of important information on a subject into notebooks, and then you can interact with the content in a meaningful way.
The best part is that, like other AI projects Google is working on, NotebookLM frequently gets updates, making it better and better with each new addition. Today, Google shared that it would now offer “featured notebooks”, which will deliver curated content from experts in the field, ensuring users are getting the best information possible.
NotebookLM is getting major boost
As far as how that information is sourced, Google shares that “featured notebooks” will feature information curated from “respected authors, researchers, publications and nonprofits.” As far as some of the featured notebooks now available, there are topics covering Shakespeare, Yellow Stone National Park, and more.
Featured notebooks will act in the same way that standard notebooks work. Users will be able to interact with the content in a number of helpful ways, and can even transform the content with the help of Audio Overview. Now, the featured notebook library available will be small at first, but Google promises that the content should grow over time.
While NotebookLM is still in its infancy, it’s very clear that this can be a powerful tool when it comes to everyday work and research. Not only is it powerful on its own, but Google has the ability to integrate the tool into its other products, like Google Docs and Slides, creating a variety of new ways that it can be used. Once frustrating, research work is now made even easier and is also quite accurate.
Although it was first introduced on desktop, NotebookLM can now be accessed on mobile as well through a dedicated app. You can give it a try on your phone or tablet by downloading the app through the Google Play Store. Explore notebooks, add your own, and find a new way to get through your content.
