Hi everyone!
Last month, NotebookLM took a big step by letting users make their notebooks public, moving it from a personal tool towards something more social. This new update, Featured Notebooks, shows an even bigger ambition.
They're partnering with trusted sources like The Economist, The Atlantic, and authors like Eric Topol to create curated notebooks on specific topics. You can explore these high-quality sources using all of NotebookLM's features, like asking questions or getting audio overviews.
This transforms NotebookLM from just a tool for your own notes into a hub for authoritative, expert-driven knowledge. It opens up a much larger space for what this product can become.
