Google boosts NotebookLM with enhanced Drive search and AI flashcards

July 1, 2025

Google is strengthening its NotebookLM platform with smart new features designed for both education and corporate users. By weaving in Google Drive search and AI-powered flashcards, the update addresses a common challenge for those managing content across Google Workspace.

The introduction of the ‘Discover Sources’ feature means NotebookLM can now tap into your Google Drive and even pull in web content. This improves research efficiency and makes it easier to synthesise information—something that can really help busy organisations and schools alike.

AI Flashcards are another practical addition. By turning your documents into interactive study aids within the Studio Panel, this feature extracts key facts and prompts that you can use to reinforce learning without extra hassle.

Enhanced sharing options add further value. Users can now share audio overviews and other outputs as public web links, a move that makes collaboration simpler for educators and teams who prefer to share highlights without exposing entire notebooks.

With hints of upcoming video overviews for Google for Education, it’s clear that these updates are just a start. Google is carefully integrating NotebookLM into its broader ecosystem, aiming to streamline workflows and boost productivity.
