Three years ago, Google Labs launched NotebookLM as an experimental AI product to help users understand anything. Today, they are introducing across-the-board upgrades to NotebookLM that deliver new agentic capabilities in chat and more advanced reasoning to tackle the most complex research projects.
Users can now ask NotebookLM to create outputs in even more formats and provide detailed instructions to guide the outputs. NotebookLM will assemble the context from your sources to produce useful and high-quality formats like PDF reports with charts and tables, detailed budget spreadsheets, and more. New output formats include:
- Data visualizations and charts (png, svg)
- Documents (PDFs, docx, markdown, text files)
- Images with Nano Banana (png, jpg, gif)
- Structured data (csv, json)
- Microsoft Excel (xlsx)
- Microsoft PowerPoint (pptx)
