Aside from TPUs running hot today, five things from Notebook HQ:
1) Thanks for all your feedback on AOs so far. I’m copy pasting everything into a Notebook so I can listen to a Deep Dive and search it later. We’re going to launch some immediate tweaks to make it less repetitive, improve the content, and so on - quality work in the background.
2) These jailbreaks are WILD – I saw on Reddit that someone’s gotten it to output French (neat), but please keep in mind that the quality for other languages is still going through evals and that’s why we haven’t released it yet. In progress though.
3) In these hacks it looks like you can get around our flags to see the prototype features like MagicDraft and custom chatbots. I’ll say two things about this: these are extremely promising and have tested well, but we need to rev on the next layer before these can be ready for launch. More below:
4) An agentic and personalized writing workflow, especially using YOUR style and formats, is another type of “transform” that I’m really excited about. Can’t tell you how often I take a pile of research and some haphazard notes to write my POV on it – this streamlines that flow massively. Gemini 1.5 is really good at this and a well-done UX is what’s needed to connect the user to this capability. Not sure if the space is too crowded or kind of tired at this point, so I just need to study a little bit more before we put this in Notebook.
5) Custom chatbots… I have a lot to say. This is pretty widely used internally at Google and literally every day someone pings me to say “This has 10x’d our team’s productivity.” Not joking. In the hacks you’re still looking at the old version so I’m excited for what you all think when the new version launches

BREAKING
: Google’s NotebookLM could let users build custom chatbots from notebooks.
If you already had high expectations from NotebookLM, you must raise them even higher! Here is why
Disclaimer: All mentioned features here are WIP

The bar for production is so high that I've made do with the 200k Googlers for now so I can focus on feature functionality - but let me see if I can launch this early access program in 2 weeks so people don't have to hack around it
