New features available in NotebookLM and NotebookLM Plus
What’s changing
In addition to NotebookLM and NotebookLM Plus becoming available as a Google Workspace core service for business customers and the recent announcement of Context-Aware Access support for NotebookLM and Notebook LM Plus, we’re excited to introduce new features that improve upon the NotebookLM user experience:
- A new interactive Mind Map lets users navigate complex topics in their notebooks, explore new connections and gain a deeper understanding of their materials. For example, a biology student working on their thesis about Coral Reef Ecosystem Decline might upload research papers and see a mind map of "Ocean Acidification," "Rising Sea Temperatures," "Pollution," and "Overfishing."
- A new output language selector allows users to choose the output language for generated text within NotebookLM. This means study guides, briefing documents, and chat responses will be generated in any selected language, making it easier than ever to understand and share work.
Who’s impacted
Admins and end users (18+)
Additional details
NotebookLM and NotebookLM Plus are available in 180+ regions where Gemini API is available and currently supports 35+ languages. For Audio Overviews, while you can upload sources from all supported languages, the spoken audio is currently only available in English.
Your uploads, queries and the model's responses are not used to train models and are not reviewed by human reviewers or otherwise used for product improvement without permission. Your data remains your data and any files uploaded, queries and responses are not shared outside your organization’s trust boundary.
Users can only upload sources from Workspace that they have permission to access. Furthermore, they can control who has access to their notebooks and set more granular permissions within each.
