New ways in NotebookLM

We’re introducing several updates to NotebookLM that give users more flexibility when uploading sources, new ways to create and edit visuals from NotebookLM and improvements to the interactive study tools.

More functions and new visual communication tools

• Slide revisions: Users can now revise presentation content, ask for changes or fix any issues on both desktop and mobile. Users can submit stylistic or factual feedback for each slide and the slides are regenerated quickly as a new deck in the Studio panel.

• Cinematic Video Overviews: Cinematic Video Overviews are immersive, deep-dive videos with fluid animations and rich, detailed visuals to help you learn and engage with the topics you care about. Gemini models make hundreds of structural and stylistic decisions to best tell the story with your sources. The videos are ideal for visualizing complex narratives and academic research.

• New infographic styles: Users can now manually choose from ten new predefined infographic styles to visually summarize their sources. Options include: Sketch Note, Kawaii, Professional, Scientific, Anime, Clay, Editorial, Instructional, Bento Grid, and Bricks. By default, NotebookLM will continue to auto-select the best style for your sources.

• Improved flashcards & quizzes: Progress is now saved and loaded across sessions when using Flashcards and Quizzes in NotebookLM. Users can also now mark flashcards as “Got it” or “Missed it,” shuffle the deck, and use a new results screen to rerun any cards they missed. Additionally, specific flashcards or quiz questions can now be deleted. These improvements are available on both web and mobile.
  • Improvements to flashcards and quizzes are available to all users. Slide revisions, Cinematic Video Overviews, and new infographic styles are available to users over the age of 18.

Support for more file types

• EPUB: All NotebookLM users can now upload EPUB files, the standard, open-source file format for eBooks, as a supported source type in NotebookLM, making it easier to research and interact with long-form digital books.
• PPTX export: Users can now export generated slide decks as PPTX (in addition to PDF).

Chat improvements

• Saved and secure conversation history: To support long-term projects, your conversations will be automatically saved and kept private to you. You can close a session and resume it later without losing your conversation history. You can delete chat history at any time, and in shared notebooks, your chat is visible only to you.
• Artifact creation in chat: You can now instantly transform your chat conversations into stunning Audio Overviews, Video Overviews, tailored reports, and more. Just ask Notebook to create the artifact of your choosing — all without leaving the chat.
