Six new Gemini Notebook features that most people haven't noticed yet — including live voice chat on your phone, adding real books as sources, interactive learning overviews, smarter quizzes, short video generation, and using your notebook directly inside Google Docs. In this video, I walk through each feature one by one using a real example: the management book "Radical Candor" by Kim Scott. Whether you're new to Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM) or already using it, these updates make it significantly more powerful for research, learning, and productivity. 🔗 Try Gemini Notebook: https://notebooklm.google.com ⏱️ CHAPTERS 0:00 Introduction 0:48 What is Gemini Notebook? 1:24 Feature 1: Live Chat 1:40 Live Chat Demo 2:44 Feature 2: Adding Books 3:27 Feature 3: Interactive Learning Overview 4:07 Feature 4: Quizzes 5:06 Feature 5: Short Video Overviews 6:00 Feature 6: Notebook in Google Docs 6:45 Bonus Updates 7:41 Outro 📌 WHAT'S COVERED • Live Chat — Have a real back-and-forth voice conversation with your notebook on the phone app (available on Pro & Ultra) • Adding Books — Connect your Google Play Books library and add entire books as sources • Interactive Learning Overview — Turn any book into a structured short course with lessons and quizzes • Smarter Quizzes — New question types with multiple correct answers, instant feedback, and AI-powered study recommendations • Short Video Overviews — Generate minute-long vertical video summaries from your notebook sources • Notebook in Google Docs — Use your notebook's sources directly inside Google Docs with Gemini • Bonus — New AI voice model and updated usage limits (now resets every 5 hours) 📝 RESOURCES & LINKS • Book used in this demo: "Radial Candor" by Kim Scott • Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM): https://notebooklm.google.com • Google Play Books: https://play.google.com/books • Google Docs + Gemini: https://docs.google.com ⚠️ DISCLAIMER: All opinions in this video are my own and do not belong to my employer. 💬 Let me know in the comments — which feature are you going to try first? 🔔 If you found this helpful, consider subscribing for more AI and productivity tool walkthroughs. #GeminiNotebook #NotebookLM #GoogleAI #Gemini #ProductivityTools #AIResearch #GoogleDocs #RadicalCandor #AIBot #StudyTools
