NotebookLM upgrades at I/O 2025 showcased major improvements in Google’s AI-powered research tool. As expected, the company focused heavily on AI.
To highlight the changes, Google built a live demo using real content from I/O 2025. It included keynote transcripts, blog posts, press releases, and demo videos. Users can explore each source separately. However, the new features allow faster understanding through summaries and smart insights.
Moreover, users can ask any question about the event. NotebookLM answers clearly by referring to the uploaded materials. Instead of guessing, it pulls facts directly from the sources. Therefore, users get more accurate and relevant answers.
When asked what NotebookLM does, the tool replied with a definition from the event content. It said the AI becomes an “expert” by learning from your documents. As a result, users can dig deeper into topics with less effort.
In addition, the new Studio section introduces audio overviews. These spoken summaries help users understand materials quickly. You can choose between short highlights or complete summaries. Thus, it suits both quick reviews and deep dives.
Another major upgrade is the Mind Map feature. It turns complex ideas into simple, visual maps. One central topic connects to smaller themes and subtopics. Consequently, users can see how everything fits together more easily.
At the same time, Google reminded users about AI’s limitations. Although the tool is powerful, it can still make errors. Therefore, double-checking important information remains essential.
Furthermore, the NotebookLM app is now available on Android and iOS. You’ll need to sign into your Google account to access the I/O 2025 notebook.
Besides NotebookLM, the I/O 2025 event included other major launches. For example, Google introduced Flow, an AI movie creator. In addition, Google Meet now offers real-time translation. Virtual clothing try-ons and updates to Project Astra were also announced.
Overall, NotebookLM upgrades at I/O 2025 reflect the growing power of AI in everyday tools. These changes aim to help people work faster and smarter.
