Gemini Notebook Now Lets You Reference Books, Turn Them Into Different Formats

Google has launched an 'Expert Intelligence' feature in Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM) that lets users cite and work with more than 100,000 books they own via Google Play Books, enabling them to turn books into quizzes, infographics, and Audio Overviews. The feature is initially available in the Gemini Notebook app and web dashboard, with one free book offered to US users while supplies last, and will later expand to the core Gemini app and AI mode in Search.

Google is adding an "Expert Intelligence" feature to Gemini Notebook formerly known as NotebookLM that lets users cite and work directly from more than 100,000 books they own through Google Play Books. Those books can be used as sources for things like quizzes, infographics, and Audio Overviews. Digital Trends reports: For now, Google is offering one free book to users in the US as part of the launch campaign, with a caveat -- "while supplies last." At the moment, Expert Intelligence is only available in the Gemini Notebook app and its web dashboard, but down the road, Google says that it will also appear within the core Gemini app and AI mode in Search. The broad idea behind expert intelligence is to combine what you can already do with Gemini, and expertise sourced from your favorite books. So, if you're asking Gemini to create a meal plan that is based entirely on chicken and spinach, you can ask the AI assistant to look for relevant recipes in one of Martha Stewart's cookbooks that you own. You can use these books as a source and turn them into Infographics, Audio Overviews, and Quizzes, among other formats. Google has partnered with select authors on Featured Notebooks that provide extra insights and context beyond their books. It's also worth noting that access is still tied to book ownership, so anyone using a shared Gemini notebook must own or purchase the book to fully use the feature.
