Google has updated its flagship learning tool, NotebookLM, with several improvements aimed at making it smarter and more powerful. These changes include enhanced performance, improved contextual understanding, and new features that allow users to personalize their chats.
Back-end upgrades have increased the tool’s capacity to analyze large document collections quickly, while also allowing for multiturn conversations with coherence and relevance. Google has also improved how NotebookLM finds information in sources, exploring multiple angles beyond initial prompts.
The most significant change is the ability to set specific goals for chat sessions, such as adopting a PhD student tone or acting like a creative storyteller. These new features provide users with more control over the tool’s responses and allow for a wider range of applications.
Google has shared examples of prompts that can be used to get the most out of these new features. Users can try prompts like “Treat me like a PhD candidate” to challenge assumptions, or “Act as a lead marketing strategist” to receive direct action plans. These updates aim to make NotebookLM an even more valuable learning tool for users.
