the NotebookLM AI research tool, which may meet the demands of some enthusiasts of the well-known generative AI tool. NotebookLM can now utilize a Deep Research mode akin to what is found in Gemini, AI Mode, and Google Finance. Furthermore, NotebookLM will allow users to upload a greater variety of file types, a functionality that can be advantageous for incorporating your own data into NotebookLM before requesting it to generate a report. Specifically, NotebookLM will now accommodate spreadsheets saved in Google Sheets, PDFs from Google Drive, and Microsoft Word Documents (.docx). Additionally, users can introduce Drive files to NotebookLM as URLs through copy-paste, with NotebookLM permitting multiple links separated by commas. This feature resembles pasting a link to a website or YouTube video in NotebookLM when instructing the AI to create a notebook on a specific topic.
The capability to effortlessly upload extensive data sets saved in various file formats will prove beneficial in NotebookLM, but the Deep Research feature could be even more appealing to certain users. When employing Deep Research, NotebookLM will formulate a research plan and sift through hundreds of websites on your behalf. Subsequently, it will produce “an organized, insightful, source-grounded report,” as stated in a Google blog post.
