Gemini Notebook makes hundreds of textbooks available to help students learn even more.

Google has expanded its Expert Intelligence initiative to allow students to add eligible textbooks directly into Gemini Notebook at no cost. The service now includes hundreds of textbooks from providers such as OpenStax, Open Textbook Library, and S Chand Publishing, covering materials used in the U.S. and India. Students can access these textbooks through the "Add sources" option within their notebook interface.

Once a textbook is added, Gemini Notebook uses its content to ground answers, providing responses with inline citations and direct links to the original source material. This ensures that students receive accurate, source-backed information while studying. The feature is designed to enhance the reliability of AI-generated responses by anchoring them to verified textbook content.

The platform also offers tools to transform textbook content into personalized study aids. Students can generate study guides, practice quizzes, and flashcards directly from the textbook material within Gemini Notebook. These tools aim to streamline the learning process by automating the creation of review materials based on the course content.

To access these textbooks, users must navigate to the "Add sources" section in their Gemini Notebook and select the "Textbooks" catalog. The feature is currently available to students in the U.S. and India, with additional providers expected to be added over time. The integration is part of Google's broader effort to support educational resources through AI-driven tools.
