Google introduces the "Notebooks" feature on the Gemini platform, marking a new step in integrating artificial intelligence into daily learning and work activities.
This feature is developed based on NotebookLM, a platform for taking notes and research using AI that Google launched in 2023.
Previously, NotebookLM operated as an independent service, allowing users to upload documents and receive analyses, summaries or answers based on that content.
Now, this technology has been directly integrated into Gemini, helping to expand user support capabilities right in a single ecosystem.
With the Handbook, users can collect all documents related to a topic in the same space.
Supported data sources are very diverse, including Google Docs, PDF files, YouTube videos, web links and many other formats.
This makes information management more visual and convenient, especially for people who regularly have to process large volumes of documents.
Not only stopping at storage, the Handbook also utilizes Gemini's AI power to analyze content.
Users can ask questions, request summaries or exploit in-depth information from uploaded documents.
At the same time, the system also combines internal data with internet search capabilities to provide more comprehensive answers.
Google says users can customize how Gemini processes information by adding specific instructions or adding more data sources.
When the documents are arranged in a notebook, Gemini will use them as context to create more accurate and appropriate responses to personal needs.
A notable point is the synchronization between NotebookLM and Gemini. Notebooks created on one platform will automatically appear on the other platform, helping users easily access and continue work without interruption.
Thanks to that, advanced features such as video overviews or information graphics are also applied flexibly.
Regarding accessibility, Google said the Handbook feature is being deployed in advance for users who register for premium AI packages on the web version.
In the near future, the company will expand to mobile applications and provide them more widely to users for free in many countries.
