Jakarta – Google has updated its NotebookLM writing assistant with improved performance and new features, among other things.
It runs on the company’s Gemini 1.5 Pro model, the same AI that powers the Gemini Advanced chatbot.
"Last summer, we introduced NotebookLM, a research and writing assistant powered by artificial intelligence (AI). We're excited to share that we're bringing you an updated version of NotebookLM,” said Editorial Director of Google Labs, Steven Johnson, Sunday (June 9).
He also explained that NotebookLM was previously known as Project Tailwind, a new type of notebook designed to help people learn faster.
According to Johnson, NotebookLM helps people create notebooks and upload documents for specific projects or deliverables.

In addition, it allows users to read, take notes, ask questions or ask NotebookLM to create an automatic overview of all learning resources, including a table of contents.
"NotebookLM has provided a powerful tool for users to make connections and generate insights from large collections of documents. Whether it's used to build an imaginary world, write a best-selling biography, or help salespeople find new customers,” he explained.
On the same occasion, Google Labs Product Manager Raiza Martin said that this product aims to help users do their best thinking by providing personalized Al, based on reliable information.
“The team experimenting with generative Al allows users to be creative with new Al applications,” he remarked.
Martin said that NotebookLM's general availability was initially intended for users in the United States and beyond.
However, it has now expanded to more than 180 countries including Australia, Canada, Japan, India and others.
In addition, there are new integrations that support new sources, including Google Slides and Web URLs.
Then, inline citations that display the most relevant quotes from the original source, as well as generate study guides and summaries, and suggest questions based on the source.
Finally, multimodal capabilities that allow users to be able to ask questions about images, graphs and diagrams in slides or documents.
“NotebookLM will even include image citations as supporting evidence if needed,” Martin concluded.
