NotebookLM’s Gemini 3.5 upgrade adds a cloud computer and help finding sources

Google rolled out across-the-board updates to NotebookLM on Monday, integrating its upgraded Gemini 3.5 model to provide more accurate and reliable information. This enhancement allows the AI-powered note-taking application, launched in 2023, to interact with user notes and sources more effectively. The update introduces a "cloud computer" feature, enabling NotebookLM to perform complex reasoning tasks and generate code, which can then be executed within the application. This capability aims to assist users in tasks such as data analysis and software development directly within their note-taking environment. Additionally, the update enhances NotebookLM's ability to help users find and cite their sources, a crucial feature for academic and research work. The AI will now provide more direct links and references to the specific parts of the source documents that inform its responses, improving transparency and verifiability. These improvements are designed to make NotebookLM a more robust tool for researchers, students, and anyone who needs to synthesize and analyze information from multiple sources.
