NotebookLM is set to introduce several new features before the holiday season, including an upgrade to Gemini 3 and the addition of Data Tables. This upgrade is expected to enhance NotebookLM's reasoning capabilities and multimodal understanding significantly. Google confirmed that the platform is officially built on Gemini 3, although the specific model has not been disclosed. Historically, NotebookLM has utilized Flash variants, and there is no in-app notification for users regarding model updates.
Available on the web now and soon to be accessible on mobile, users will be able to upload notebooks directly into the Gemini app. This feature allows for the combination of multiple notebooks and the generation of images or apps based on existing notebooks, among other functions.
The newly introduced Data Tables feature, which is currently available for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers, allows users to synthesize sources into structured tables that can be exported to Google Sheets. This tool can be utilized for various purposes, such as organizing meeting transcripts, comparing competitors, or preparing for exams. Free users can expect access to this feature in the coming weeks.
