All US users who are at least 18 years old may now use Google’s AI note-taking software, the firm said on Friday. Along with a host of other updates, Google’s new big language model, Gemini Pro, will be used by the experimental app to “assist with document understanding and reasoning.”
The NotebookLM app can automatically create summaries and provide follow-up questions based on the content of the documents you input. NotebookLM concentrates only on the papers it is given, in contrast to general chatbots that consume a lot of irrelevant data.
Google is currently expanding the product’s features to do more than only provide summaries and offer questions. 
Users of NotebookLM may now arrange their carefully chosen notes into well-structured writing assignments with the use of additional tools. For example, you may choose a group of notes and instruct NotebookLM to produce a new document, such as an outline for a screenplay, an email newsletter, or a draft of a marketing strategy.
Furthermore, NotebookLM can now provide recommendations for activities depending on what you’re doing right now. Let’s take an example where you are reading a source and have chosen a paragraph. When you pick a text, NotebookLM will immediately offer to summarize it for you in a new note or to assist you in understanding its contents. Let’s take another example where you are composing a note. Based on your writing so far, NotebookLM will offer to edit your prose or provide relevant ideas from your sources.
To make it easier for users to pin quotations from chats or their own written notes, the tech giant is creating a new noteboard area. According to Google, users who expressed a desire to have the option to store their conversations with NotebookLM as notes made the new area a top request.
In addition, Google is making a few minor changes to the product. Instead of contributing to a single notepad, NotebookLM will now produce a fresh, independent note whenever you add one. Additionally, you will now be sent straight to the original statement in the source when you click on the citation number in a chat answer or a saved note.
You may now conceal the source if you want to focus just on taking notes. Additionally, you may choose which sources in your notebook to speak with by choosing each one separately in the source sidebar, if you want NotebookLM’s AI to concentrate on those particular sources. Additionally, Google is supporting PDFs and copied text, so you can now copy and paste content to start a new source and change the title once it’s been created.
Google is also increasing the product’s limits in addition to its new capabilities. For example, notebooks may now have up to 20 sources, and a source can now contain up to 200,000 words.
Five months have passed since the software giant made NotebookLM accessible to a small number of people before making this announcement. Project Tailwind, the “AI notebook for everyone” that Google first unveiled at Google I/O earlier this year, was later renamed as NotebookLM. Google said at the time that students may use the app to arrange their lecture notes and other materials for assignments.
