This week, we introduced new features and capabilities for AI Mode in Search, just in time for the back-to-school season. We began rolling out Search Live with video input, bringing advanced capabilities from Project Astra directly into AI Mode. There's also AI Mode's new Canvas feature, which helps you build plans and organize information over multiple sessions in a dynamic side panel that updates as you go. Plus, you can already use AI Mode in the Google app on Android and iOS to ask complex questions about images — now this same capability is launching on desktop browsers.

Beyond the news

In mid 2022, a small team within Google Labs had a big idea: an app that would deploy our advanced language models to help people with research, thinking and writing, all grounded in sources they had on hand. Then known as Project Tailwind, it would be released the following July as NotebookLM. Its potential was clear from the beginning. Two years later, that potential is being realized. NotebookLM helps everyone from researchers trying to make sense of piles of papers, to college students corralling sources for a thesis and generating study guides. Learn more about how we built it, including how we've translated user feedback into features like Audio Overviews and the ability to save notes.
