NotebookLM Research Upgrade

A NotebookLM update that lets it find its own sources, run code, and turn your material into downloadable reports, spreadsheets, and worksheets, for Google AI Ultra and eligible Workspace business accounts.

  • NotebookLM can now start from a loose question and find and organize relevant web sources for you, instead of needing every source loaded up front.
  • Each notebook gets a secure cloud computer so NotebookLM can write and run code for deeper analysis.
  • It produces downloadable outputs directly from the studio panel: PDF reports with charts and tables, spreadsheets, slides, and structured data files like CSV and JSON.
  • Now runs on Gemini 3.5 with over 100 built-in skills, and shows more of its reasoning as it works.
  • Rolling out globally to Google AI Ultra subscribers and Workspace business accounts with AI Ultra or AI Expanded access.

Best for
