Google launches ‘Expert Intelligence’ with Play Books in Gemini Notebook
Google has introduced 'Expert Intelligence,' a feature allowing users to integrate purchased Play Books into Gemini Notebooks for AI-driven analysis. This tool enables users to query specific texts, generate summaries, and create educational content like quizzes.
Why it matters
This integration marks a significant step in leveraging proprietary, high-quality data to improve the accuracy and utility of generative AI tools.
Expert Intelligence is a new “cross Google initiative that helps you engage with your trusted sources through Google AI products,” starting with Play Books and Gemini Notebook.
Select ebooks that you’ve purchased from Google Play Books can now be added to Gemini Notebook and used as sources. This lets you “ask questions about the book and receive responses grounded directly in that book.”
You can also generate Infographics, Audio Overviews, Quizzes, and other Gemini Notebook features from the book.
Another way to use Expert Intelligence is in combination with your information. For example:
Expert Intelligence today is compatible with over 100,000 books from Bloomsbury, De Gruyter Brill, Johns Hopkins University Press, Macmillan Publishers, O’Reilly Media, and Penguin Random House.
Google worked with authors and publishers on controls that ensure users “must own the book through Google Play Books” before they can interact with it.
