Google has fully integrated NotebookLM, its AI research tool, into the Gemini app, allowing users to create notebooks with multiple source types directly within the chatbot. The feature supports PDFs, documents, website URLs, YouTube videos, and text input, with Gemini generating summaries, infographics, and audio overviews from uploaded sources.

Google is expanding NotebookLM's video generation capabilities with Cinematic Video Overviews, which produce styled visual narratives beyond simple slide presentations. The update also includes upgrades to Canvas in AI Mode, enhancing the tool's ability to synthesize and present document insights.
