Google brings Deep Research to NotebookLM. Generate comprehensive multi-page reports by scouring hundreds of web sources with this powerful new AI update.

 Nearly a year after debuting Deep Research in its AI chatbot , Google is integrating the feature into NotebookLM. Much like its counterpart in Gemini , this tool empowers users to generate comprehensive reports on specific topics . When you initiate a Deep Research task, the system scours hundreds of websites on your behalf to compile its analysis .

While the process typically takes a few minutes , the result is a substantial, multi-page report . As the model operates in the background , you have the option to direct it toward specific sources, though NotebookLM will also proactively recommend relevant articles, papers, and websites . Once the research is compiled, you can leverage the platform’s existing tools to derive further insights from the material .

Google is also expanding the range of compatible sources with this update . The app can now pull data directly from Google Sheets , Microsoft Word documents, and PDFs stored in Google Drive ; adding Drive files is now as simple as pasting a URL . Google states that these enhancements will roll out over the coming week —a timely addition, considering the platform recently gained the ability to generate quizzes and flashcards .
