NotebookLM is adding featured notebooks, with works selected by partners like The Atlantic and The Economist. Explore topics with high-quality sources and AI guidance. Rolling out now on desktop.
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.
NotebookLM Plus looks like a game-changer love how it turns your Google Docs into AI-powered, conversational knowledge hubs. Quick question are you planning to introduce integration with Gmail or Drive-native graphs for deeper context retrieval?
The featured notebooks idea is super smart , love how it turns NotebookLM into a more open, curated space, not just a private tool.
Just wondering... Will users eventually be able to create and share their own public notebooks too? Would be amazing to see community-led curation next to experts like The Atlantic.
Love the idea of mixing expert content with AI to help explore deeper. Excited to check out the featured notebooks and see how helpful they feel in real research. Congrats on the launch 🚀
Omg, 5x more audio overviews is a gamechanger—finally I can multitask and absorb info while running errands. Realy smart move, team!
Expert-driven sources give a lot of credibility. Will there be community-sourced featured notebooks?
