NotebookLM can now search the web and ‘Discover sources’ for you – 9to5Google

🔍 Summary:

Google has introduced a new feature in NotebookLM called “Discover sources,” designed to enhance the way users gather information. This feature, accessible via a new button in the Sources pane, allows users to input topics they’re interested in, and NotebookLM then retrieves a curated list of up to 10 web sources. Each source comes with an annotated summary explaining its relevance, which users can review before deciding to add them to their notebook. These sources can be integrated into various NotebookLM functions like Audio Overviews and FAQs.

Additionally, Google has added an “I’m feeling curious” button for users new to NotebookLM, which generates sources on a random topic to demonstrate the source discovery feature. This rollout, which will reach all NotebookLM users within the next week, marks the beginning of several upcoming enhancements that leverage Google’s Gemini technology for improved source collection and learning.
