Google’s NotebookLM is now available in India, Check how it works

With the release of NotebookLM 2.0, now powered by Gemini 1.5 Pro, Google has extended its availability to more than 200 countries. The new features include support for Google Slides, web URLs, and enhanced multimodal capabilities.

Google’s NotebookLM was extended to more than 200 countries and regions and got several additional capabilities. Initially unveiled as Project Tailwind at the Google I/O event last year, the AI-powered research and writing helper was later made available to a select group of US customers. 

Users in India and other nations can now access the platform, which has features like inline citations, site URLs, and Google Slides as references. Additionally, the Gemini 1.5 Pro AI model powers it.

NotebookLM now offers multimodal capabilities following its integration with the AI model that underpins Gemini Advanced, Gemini 1.5 Pro. This implies that users can include images, graphs, and diagrams in their sources, and the platform will provide information about them in response to queries. It was limited to reading and analyzing the text earlier.

The addition of Google Slides and website URLs as sources is another helpful new feature. With this, users may have the AI chatbot organize and respond to queries on a webpage or a Google Slides file by uploading a link to it. Here, too, the Gemini 1.5 Pro model is helpful since it enables the chatbot to navigate the slides. In addition, users can upload copied text, PDF files, Text files, and Google Drive sources.

In addition, the platform now displays inline citations for responses that it generates. For simple fact-checking, hovering over the reference will reveal the relevant section from the source. To read the passage in its entirety, users can also click on it.

Furthermore, when requested, the NotebookLM can produce study guides, briefing papers, and frequently asked questions (FAQs) because it has a deeper comprehension of the sources.

Because NotebookLM is a closed system, it only uses the data found in the sources and doesn’t do an online search to find answers to any questions.
