Google’s NotebookLM Begins Rolling Out “Deep Research” Feature and Support For More File Formats Including Google Sheets and MS Word

From a Google Blog Post:

Here’s what makes NotebookLM’s Deep Research different: the report is just the beginning. You can add the report and its sources directly into your notebook. You can continue to add other sources while Deep Research runs in the background, helping you assemble a rich knowledge base on any topic without leaving your workflow. And you can then use any of NotebookLM’s capabilities, such as Audio or Video overviews, to pull insights or transform content to understand the topic better.

Your work spans multiple file types, and your research tool should, too. Based on your feedback, we’re adding support for new file types:

• Google Sheets: Add structured data and ask information on key statistics or generate summaries from your spreadsheets.
• Drive files as URLs: Add drive files as URLs, with a simple copy-paste, just like any website or YouTube video. You can even add multiple links, separated with commas
• Images: Upload a photo of your hand-written notes or a brochure you got.
• PDFs from Google Drive: Add research papers, reports or ebooks directly from Drive, skipping downloading and re-uploading.
• Microsoft Word documents (.docx): Upload your .docx files to analyze notes, drafts and other documents.
