NotebookLM has announced a significant update, marking a milestone in its development: the platform now officially supports images as data sources. This new functionality enables users to input a wide array of visual content, such as photographs of whiteboard notes taken during classes, pages from textbooks, various types of tables, and even casual photographs captured on the street. Once uploaded, these images can be processed and their content made retrievable within NotebookLM. The developers suggest that this feature will be exceptionally useful for students and those who regularly attend lectures, providing a powerful tool for organizing and accessing information that was previously difficult to integrate into digital notes.
