  "summary": "Google is changing how Gemini Notebook works, introducing compute-based usage limits. This system replaces the previous daily limits, which depended on the user's Google AI tier. The new limits consider factors such as prompt complexity, chat length, number of sources, and features used, and refresh every five hours.\n\nAccording to 9to5Google, users will be able to track their usage, with a status indicator appearing below the chat and another at the bottom of Studio generations. If users reach their limit, Gemini Notebook will suggest alternative outputs, and they can defer generating outputs like Video Overviews or Slide Decks for later. The new compute-based usage limits will start rolling out to consumer accounts on web and mobile on September 2.\n\nGemini Notebook has also introduced a feature called Expert Intelligence, which allows users to import owned titles from Google Play Books and use them as a source. This feature, reported by Android Authority and Digital Trends, enables users to combine insights from multiple titles and use them to create content such as Infographics, Audio Overviews, and Quizzes.",
