If I ask you about Google’s AI, it will probably come to your mind Gemini to the head. She is the visible face, the pretty girl and the main focus of the American company. But I do tell you that there is a Google AI that is even more useful for day-to-day tasks, and that it is one of the great hidden ones in the sector. Would you know what I’m talking about?
The Silence of Notebook LLM. In silence, and updating little by little with hardly any announcements or press releases, Notebook LLM has become one of the most useful AI tools. Google understands it as “a research and reflection companion”, a tool focused mainly on the academic field. But the truth is that it goes much further.
why now. This tool is not new, but it has just been updated with one of the functions most requested by users. Notebook LLM had the potential to create a slideshow by simply uploading a document to it.
The problem? Neither did it allow the slides to be modified nor were they compatible with the PPTX format, the king of presentations. Starting today, we can modify any slide using a prompt that indicates the changes. Additionally, the tool adds compatibility with PPTX, allowing presentations to be exported in this format and, soon, in Google Slides.
The great covered. Notebook LM is not just a student helper, it is one of the artificial intelligence tools with the best document understanding and creation model.

- Video summaries
- Mind maps
- Information
- Flashcards
- Questionnaires
- Infographics
- Presentations
- Data tables
A functional AI. Just as text models are beginning to change the search landscape, Notebook LM has the potential to be (almost) everything other AIs aspire to:
- A reliable model, without hallucinations or inventions.
- A tool designed by and to streamline processes, without further ado.
- He doesn’t compete to be the most creative, he competes to be the most useful in his field.
- It does not browse the web at its own pace, it only works with the files we upload.
Doomed to be something small… or not. Google treats its AI suite a little differently than the rest. For example, Gemini is integrated into its Android phones, and Gemini in turn has the text-to-image model integrated. Nano Banana. But if you want to get the most out of the model you need to go to Google AI Studio.
Something similar could happen with Notebook LM: it could be a more integrated tool within Gemini, but Google prefers to keep it as an external website, a specific solution for specific uses. Unlike the restGoogle can afford it thanks to its financial muscle since its business model is not to sell AI. It is to get more and more users to use it.
