\n\tGoogle is launching eight featured notebooks to start, with more to come.\t<\/figcaption><\/p><\/figure>\n

Google is partnering with authors, researchers, and publications to launch \u201cfeatured\u201d notebooks<\/a> within its AI note-taking app, NotebookLM. These notebooks come prefilled with research and let you interact with the app\u2019s tools, including its AI podcast maker, to learn more about each topic.<\/p>\n

Google has released eight featured notebooks to start, including one focused on longevity<\/a> from Super Agers<\/em> author Eric Topol, another centered around parenting advice<\/a> from Jacqueline Nesi\u2019s Substack newsletter, \u201cTechno Sapiens,\u201d and a notebook on the complete works<\/a> of Shakespeare. It also partnered with The Atlantic<\/em><\/a> and The Economist<\/em><\/a> to launch featured notebooks.<\/p>\n

Google started letting users share their notebooks publicly last month<\/a>, and this most recent update appears to be a step toward allowing people to explore a range of premade notebooks rather than creating their own. More than 140,000 people shared public notebooks in the past four weeks, according to Google.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor newcomers to NotebookLM, the notebooks are a preview of how useful the product can be when you\u2019ve assembled a collection of sources for whatever project you\u2019re working on,\u201d Steven Johnson, the editorial director for NotebookLM, writes in a post on X<\/a>. \u201cBut it\u2019s also a preview of a potential future where there are thousands of expert-curated notebooks on all sorts of topics that you can add to your own collection, to have the knowledge you need on tap.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The featured notebooks include original text from the source material, whether it\u2019s a book, play, newsletter, or online article. NotebookLM automatically summarizes this information and comes preloaded with notes about the topics discussed in the source material. You can also interact with NotebookLM\u2019s AI chatbot to ask questions about the information, as well as listen to pregenerated Audio Overviews<\/a>, the podcast-like discussions featuring AI \u201chosts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Google says it plans on launching new featured notebooks in the future, which will include more from The Economist<\/em> and The Atlantic<\/em>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
