NotebookLM just went from smart… to unstoppable.

And nobody is talking about how big this update really is.

Google just gave Notebook LM the ability to read your photos → handwritten notes, textbook pages, graphs, screenshots.

Here’s how to use it:

→ Upload any image (notes, diagrams, whiteboards).
→ Notebook LM runs OCR and turns it into clean text.
→ Ask it anything about the image.
→ Use Deep Research to pull in verified web sources.
→ Build a complete research hub in minutes.

This is the first time your messy notes become a searchable knowledge base.

Save this video, you’ll need it.

Full guide is inside AI Money Lab. DM me for the link. 💬

Go from blank slide to polished presentation faster with Canvas in Gemini.

Now you can ask Gemini to “create a presentation” with a single prompt (and all your project notes). Try it out for yourself:

[Google Gemini @GeminiApp]

Now, Gemini’s Deep Research can pull in info from @Gmail, @GoogleDrive, and Chat when you connect your @GoogleWorkspace account to give you more context-aware reports.

To try it, just select “Deep Research” in Gemini on desktop and choose your sources. Coming to mobile soon.
