NotebookLM, an AI-powered note-taking application developed by Google, is now widely accessible in the United States. The app is introducing new functionalities and integrating Google’s Gemini Pro AI model “to enhance document comprehension and analysis,” as stated by the company.
The latest capabilities of NotebookLM include the ability to summarize imported documents, extract key points, and respond to queries related to your notes. Additionally, Google is introducing a feature that allows users to convert their documents into various formats. By selecting specific notes, NotebookLM can suggest formats such as outlines or study guides. Furthermore, users have the option to convert their content into a preferred format, such as an email, story outline, newsletter, and more.
Moreover, NotebookLM will offer tailored suggestions based on your activities within the application. For instance, Google mentions that while composing a document, NotebookLM may promptly “provide tools for illustration or storyline development, or recommend relevant insights from your reference materials based on your writing.” Other upcoming features include the ability to save valuable responses from NotebookLM as notes, share notes with collaborators, and focus NotebookLM’s AI on specific references during interactions.
Google is also expanding the capabilities of NotebookLM. Users can now store up to 20 references in the application, each containing up to 200,000 words. Initially unveiled as “Project Tailwind” at Google’s I/O conference in May, NotebookLM was first released to a limited group of testers. The recent expansion makes the app accessible to all users aged 18 and above in the US, coinciding with the launch of Gemini, Google’s competitor to GPT-4.
