  "summary": "Gemini Notebook, previously known as NotebookLM, has introduced a new feature called Expert Intelligence. This feature allows users to import ebooks they've purchased from Google Play Books directly into Gemini Notebook. The feature enables users to ask questions about the book and receive responses grounded in the book's content.\n\nUsers can also combine insights from multiple titles for a broader knowledge base in a single notebook. The feature is compatible with over 100,000 books from various publishers, including Bloomsbury, De Gruyter Brill, Johns Hopkins University Press, Macmillan Publishers, O’Reilly Media, and Penguin Random House, according to 9to5Google.\n\nGoogle has also worked with authors to create \"Featured Notebooks\" that are customized with additional source material. The company is offering one free book to users in the US as part of the launch campaign, while supplies last, as per Digital Trends. With Expert Intelligence, users can generate Infographics, Audio Overviews, Quizzes, and other features from the book.",
