Google's AI Notebook Just Got Smarter With Mind Maps
1 min read
Summary
NotebookLM is a Google AI experiment that has continued to evolve and improve since its launch as an experimental AI tool.
The latest addition to the platform is a Mind Map function, introduced to help users visualise their ideas and make it easier to understand and break down complex concepts looking at the bigger picture.
To use it, users can open any notebook in NotebookLM and click on the Mind Map function, to see an interactive mind map of the content pop up.
Each node in the map represents a concept and can be expanded with arrows to reveal further subnodes, with a summary available for each topic.
Users can download the mind map as a PNG image, acting like a screenshot of the state of the map at the time of download.
Google is rolling out the update gradually, expected to be available to all users within the next two weeks.
NotebookLM is free to use and is proving to be a popular and useful tool for users looking to improve their study and research habits.
