Google has recently rolled out a major update to its AI-powered research and writing assistant, NotebookLM, now available globally, including in Canada. This tool has also been enhanced with the new Gemini 1.5 Pro technology.
NotebookLM was initially introduced by Google last summer to help users comprehend complex information, make connections, and speed up the drafting process. By uploading various sources like research notes, interview transcripts, and corporate documents, users can turn NotebookLM into an expert on their specific material.
The latest update brings a host of new features to NotebookLM:
– Support for Google Slides and web URLs
– Compatibility with Google Docs, PDFs, and text files
– Direct linking to supporting passages for easy fact-checking
– A Notebook Guide that converts sources into useful formats like FAQs or Study Guides
With Gemini 1.5 Pro’s multimodal capabilities, users can now ask questions about images, charts, and diagrams with relevant citations included. It’s clear that AI technology is advancing rapidly.
Google has shared real-world case studies of individuals using NotebookLM effectively. For instance, Walter Isaacson, known for his biographies of Steve Jobs and Elon Musk, is utilizing this AI tool for his upcoming book by analyzing Marie Curie’s journals.
