Google is enhancing its AI note-taking and research assistant, NotebookLM, by introducing a new feature called ‘Deep Research’ aimed at streamlining complex online research processes. According to TechCrunch, the tool functions as a dedicated researcher, capable of generating detailed reports, recommending relevant articles, papers, or websites, and creating a source-grounded report for users’ notebooks. This update is designed to help users build a comprehensive knowledge base on various topics within their workflow.
Furthermore, NotebookLM now supports a wider range of file types, including Google Sheets, Drive files as URLs, PDFs from Google Drive, and Microsoft Word Documents. This expansion enables users to perform tasks such as generating summaries from spreadsheets and efficiently managing information by quickly copying multiple Drive files as URLs.
Both the ‘Deep Research’ tool and the additional file type support are set to be available to all users within a week, offering enhanced capabilities for streamlined research and information organization.
