NotebookLM now speaks Sheets, Word, PDFs, and images for your research
Google's NotebookLM update integrates Deep Research to create structured reports from multiple file types, enhancing research workflows within Google Drive and Workspace.
- This week, Google updated NotebookLM to add Deep Research, which can browse hundreds of sites and return structured reports, and it now accepts Sheets, Drive files, images, PDFs, and Word with rollout next week.
- To make NotebookLM a working research hub, Google says it now fits around files and services users already use, aiming to evolve projects into persistent knowledge bases syncing reports and sources.
- Using the new tools inside a notebook, users can follow Deep Research plans and access Gemini-powered audio and video recaps, while querying the same spreadsheets, drafts and uploads together.
- The change positions NotebookLM as a research home for students and professionals, with Deep Research evolving projects into knowledge bases that aid study and review workflows.
- In the enterprise context, analysts note that roughly 80% of knowledge stays locked in PDFs, reports and diagrams, and Erich Elsen said, "To compensate, teams have had to stack multiple imperfect tools or build extensive custom pipelines, spending months on data engineering instead of innovation.

Databricks: 'PDF parsing for agentic AI is still unsolved' — new tool replaces multi-service pipelines with single function
There is a lot of enterprise data trapped in PDF documents. To be sure, gen AI tools have been able to ingest and analyze PDFs, but accuracy, time and cost have been less than ideal. New technology from Databricks could change that.The company this week detailed its "ai_parse_document" technology, now integrated with Databricks' Agent Bricks platform. The technology addresses a critical bottleneck in enterprise AI adoption: Approximately 80% of …
NotebookLM now speaks Sheets, Word, PDFs, and images for your research
NotebookLM’s latest update adds Deep Research and support for Sheets, Word, PDFs, and images, turning Google’s AI notebook into more of a real study hub where your files, sources, and summaries actually live together.
Carlos Zorrilla Google announced an important update for Deep Research, one of the most advanced features within its Artificial Intelligence ecosystem known as Gemini. From now on, the tool will be able to connect directly with Gmail and Google Drive, allowing users to use their own mail and cloud files as automatic sources of information to generate personalized research, reporting and analysis.
Google has equipped its AI-supported research tool NotebookLM with two important innovations: Deep Research for automated online research and support for additional file formats. Deep Research acts as a digital assistant, which takes over complex research tasks independently. You pose a question, whereupon the system creates a research plan and searches hundreds of websites. Within a few minutes it generates a structured, source-based report. Ho…
