NotebookLM is so great, Google is adding even more ways to access it

Google is enhancing its Gemini platform by integrating it with applications like Google Photos and Messages, and is considering adding NotebookLM as a Connected App. Currently, Gemini connects with YouTube Music and various Google Workspace applications. The anticipated NotebookLM feature may allow users to import notebooks into the Gemini chatbot, enabling interaction with notebook content without returning to the NotebookLM interface.

NotebookLM now automates your tedious research, so you can focus on big ideas

NotebookLM has introduced a "Deep Research" feature that automatically searches hundreds of websites and compiles a sourced report. It now supports a wider range of file types, including Google Sheets, Word documents, and images of handwritten notes, allowing users to upload materials without needing to convert them to PDFs. Users can input a topic and choose between "Fast Research" for a brief overview or "Deep Research" for a more detailed exploration. The update consolidates user uploads, external web research, AI-generated summaries, and analysis into one space, and will be rolled out to all users within the next week, though some may experience delays. Users are advised to verify the relevance and credibility of the gathered materials.

Google Drive’s new AI audio summaries make PDFs effortless

Google Drive has introduced a feature that allows users to generate audio summaries of lengthy documents, which can be accessed through a new button in the toolbar.

Users can retrieve audio files from an “Audio overviews” folder in their Drive. The rollout will begin with Rapid Release domains, while Scheduled Release domains will start seeing the feature from November 12, 2025, with a potential delay of up to 15 days for full availability.

Mehta suggests improvements such as a progress-saving feature for podcasts and synchronization across devices. He also proposes optional features like public sharing of Audio Overview tracks and comment sections for interactive dialogue among users. Mehta believes NotebookLM could evolve into a platform for knowledge exchange, similar to YouTube, fostering a community of engaged users.

Google Gemini Canvas On Android: New Features Could Transform Mobile AI Experience

Google is enhancing the Canvas feature within its Gemini AI app on Android, expanding its functionality to allow users to create various content formats and develop apps within a sandbox-style interface.
