Google's new Expert Intelligence service uses AI to process content from purchased books and integrate it into Gemini Notebook. The feature enables creation of summaries, infographics, and audio narrations from books. It currently supports over 100,000 titles and collaborates with major publishers like Bloomsbury and Penguin Random House. ## How It Works Users can add books purchased from Google Play Books to Gemini Notebook. Book owners can ask questions about their books and receive answers directly based on the book's content. For shared notebooks, other users need to purchase the book to access its content. This system aims to protect authors' rights while enabling content sharing. ## Key Features Expert Intelligence can automatically generate quizzes, audio summaries, and visual content from books. Special notebooks were created in collaboration with over 15 bestselling authors including Steven Pinker and Michael Pollan. Users can combine book content with their own notes. US users currently get one free eligible book. ## Publisher and Author Collaboration Google worked with authors and publishers for months to develop Expert Intelligence. Research shows readers frequently return to favorite books and apply authors' advice. The new system aims to enhance this habit with technology while providing authors access to new audiences. It represents a new chapter in digital publishing. ## Future Plans Google plans to expand Expert Intelligence beyond books to include third-party subscriptions, business research reports, and textbooks. Features will extend to the Gemini app and AI Mode in Search. This expansion will allow users to benefit from trusted sources across various content types through AI-powered interactions. ## User Experience Books compatible with Expert Intelligence are marked in the 'Tools' section of Google Play Books. Users can ask complex questions about their books and receive detailed answers based on the content. The system particularly benefits students and professionals as a time-saving tool. AI enhances book analysis capabilities significantly. ## Security and Privacy Google implemented special security measures for Expert Intelligence. Users can only process books they've purchased. Access to book content in shared notebooks is restricted. The system operates under Google's privacy policy, and users can cancel subscriptions anytime. Content ownership remains protected throughout the process. ## Industry Impact Expert Intelligence represents a significant advancement in digital publishing and edtech. It enhances traditional reading experiences with AI capabilities while creating new revenue models for authors. The system promises personalized learning experiences for readers and could potentially boost book sales as the technology becomes more widespread. ## Sources covering this story - https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/products/gemini-notebook/expert-intelligence-leading-sources/ — --- _Summary written by Brifing from the original reporting.
