What you need to know
- Google is reportedly working on bringing “Projects” to the Gemini app, a new feature that users can lean on to focus the AI on a singular topic.
- From the leaked code, it seems users can upload “up to 10” files that the AI can leverage, alongside your set of specific instructions for the project.
- Recent leaks claim that Google is looking to add NotebookLM notebook importing to the Gemini app.
In a notable stride towards enhancing user experience, Google appears to be developing a feature for the Gemini app that could significantly elevate its utility for managing larger projects. This feature, aptly named “Projects,” was uncovered by tipster AssembleDebug and reported by Android Authority. The discovery suggests that users will soon find this functionality nestled within the side panel of the Gemini app, allowing them to initiate a new project with a simple tap.
The essence of this feature mirrors that of OpenAI’s “Projects in ChatGPT,” where context is paramount. Users will have the ability to upload files, provide instructions, and more, all aimed at keeping the AI focused on the task at hand. The leaked information hints at a streamlined approach: “projects keep your work and ideas organized. You can add context and tell Gemini how to help.” This indicates a clear intention from Google to foster a more personalized and focused AI experience.
Currently, the details surrounding the functionality of Gemini’s Projects remain somewhat elusive. The tipster managed to navigate as far as the “Give your project a name” screen, suggesting that further options will likely follow, including file uploads and detailed instructions as indicated in the leaked descriptions.
A more personal, focused AI
Interestingly, speculation suggests that Google is also working on integrating NotebookLM into the Gemini app in a future update. This would likely enhance the “Attachments” menu to allow users to import their NotebookLM notebooks, complete with sources, should this feature reach a stable launch.
By merging the capabilities of Gemini with the focused approach of NotebookLM, Google is poised to create a seamless experience for users navigating complex information and research. Each platform brings its unique strengths to the table, and this integration could provide a comprehensive solution for users seeking to manage their projects effectively. Additionally, updates to Gemini are expected to include a more personalized experience, tailored to individual user interests and needs based on their search behaviors, a feature that was announced as experimental earlier this year.
