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.

German healthcare aims to replace faxes and phones with secure mess…

Germany's healthcare system is introducing TI-Messenger, an encrypted messaging service overseen by Germany’s National Digital Health Agency, Gematik, to enhance communication among patients, healthcare professionals, and insurance companies. This service aims to replace traditional communication methods like faxes and phone calls, with initial trials showing significant time savings for medical staff. TI-Messenger, based on the Matrix open network technology standard, is designed to allow secure communication across health institutions while maintaining data control. As of July 15, 2025, it became accessible to all German citizens with public health insurance. A trial in Hamburg demonstrated that pharmacists significantly reduced phone calls by using TI-Messenger. There are two versions of the service: TI Messenger ePA for citizens and TI-Messenger Pro for healthcare professionals, which has not yet seen widespread adoption. Challenges in user adoption exist, with potential solutions including financial incentives and simplified onboarding processes. Future developments may lead to automated responses and improved communication practices, with hopes for collaboration with other European countries using similar technologies.

Google Keep likely to get advanced handwriting mode and other new features

Google Keep is enhancing its functionality, particularly for handwritten notes, in the latest version 5.24.422.02.90. The app will introduce a new handwritten notes capability for Android devices with stylus support, such as the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy S24 Ultra, as well as for users who draw with their fingers. The new handwritten notes will be visually distinct from existing drawing notes, with titles positioned differently. Users will be able to share handwritten notes in PDF format instead of just image files. A "Text to sketch" feature may also be included in future updates. These enhancements will be available on both mobile and web clients, although web notes will currently be uneditable and viewable only as PDFs. Additionally, users will soon be able to customize handwriting backgrounds with color, and notes with images will allow for resizing, cropping, and repositioning. Other upcoming features include a window resize option and the ability to manage multiple accounts in split mode on foldable devices.
