NotebookLM Gets an Upgrade: Google Releases Gemini 1.5 Pro

Last year, Google introduced NotebookLM as a research and writing assistant powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI). Today, they have announced an expansion of an enhanced version that now utilizes Gemini 1.5 Pro in over 200 countries and territories. NotebookLM is designed to help users understand complex material, make connections, and create drafts quickly. It also allows users to upload research notes, transcripts, and corporate documents.

The current update includes new features thanks to the multimodal capabilities of Gemini 1.5 Pro. Users can now ask questions about images, graphs, and diagrams in their feeds. NotebookLM will even provide citations to images as supporting evidence when relevant. When accessing the tool for the first time, users must create a “notebook” and upload documents for the project. They can then read, take notes, ask questions, organize ideas, and request automatic summaries, study guides, or indexes. The uploaded sources are not used to train the model, according to Google.

In conclusion, users can now take advantage of the enhanced version of NotebookLM that includes new features powered by Gemini 1.5 Pro. This tool aims to help users in understanding and synthesizing complex material quickly and effectively. Utilizing AI technology, NotebookLM assists users in creating drafts and organizing information in an efficient manner.
