As a regular NotebookLM user, here are 5 things I want from Gemini Notebook

The new Gemini Notebook brand should be more than a name change.

A few weeks ago, Google rebranded NotebookLM to Gemini Notebook. Since then, the tool has seen new features introduced, such as Collections, which allows grouping related notebooks together. However, there are several improvements I would like to see in the future. Firstly, I'd like to see the ability to merge multiple notebooks together into one.

This would be particularly useful for projects with multiple workspaces, such as a graduate student working on a thesis with numerous sources. Second, I'd love to see a native feature allowing users to download their sources, such as PDFs and other documents. Currently, users can export their data using Google Takeout, but a one-click export would save time and prevent potential data loss.

Third, I'd like to see more interactive and engaging resources created from notebook sources. This could include interactive quizzes, visual diagrams, slide presentations, and even podcasts. Finally, I'd like to see live-sync connectors for tools like Obsidian, Slack, or GitHub repositories. This would enable notebooks to automatically update as the live operational databases are modified, expand the capabilities of Gemini Notebook, and potentially bypass existing file-volume limits.

However, implementing live database connections could be challenging due to technical and security concerns. Despite these potential improvements, Gemini Notebook already offers a range of features that make it a valuable tool for AI-powered note-taking.
