Google is partnering with authors, researchers, and publications to launch “featured” notebooks within its AI note-taking app, NotebookLM. These notebooks come prefilled with research and let you interact with the app’s tools, including its AI podcast maker, to learn more about each topic. Google has released eight featured notebooks to start, including one focused on longevity from Super Agers author Eric Topol, another centered around parenting advice from Jacqueline Nesi’s Substack newsletter, “Techno Sapiens,” and a notebook on the complete works of Shakespeare. It also partnered with The Atlantic and The Economist to launch featured notebooks. NotebookLM automatically summarizes this information and comes preloaded with notes about the topics discussed in the source material.
