Google rolls out Gemini AI feature to help readers analyse their e-books
Google has introduced an 'Expert Intelligence' feature for Gemini that allows users to analyze e-books purchased through Google Play Books. The tool enables readers to generate summaries, quizzes, and action plans, though it is restricted to books bought within the Google ecosystem.
Why it matters
This represents a significant step in integrating generative AI into personal knowledge management and digital reading experiences, while highlighting platform-based content restrictions.
Google has rolled out a new AI feature known as Expert Intelligence that allows readers to use AI in order to get personalised insights from the e-books they bought through Google Play Books.
To make use of the feature, readers can upload eligible e-books into a Gemini Notebook. Following this, they can use AI to ask questions, understand the book, generate infographics, create audio overviews, generate quizzes, or even make action plans by uploading their own notes and ideas.
Google cited the hypothetical example of a manager brainstorming strategies in line with a management book, a woman uploading journal entries in order to benefit from the information provided in an e-book about menopause, or a family creating a meal plan inspired by a food culture book.
Expert Intelligence would allow them to apply lessons from their respective books to their own lives.
