Build a deeper understanding of a topic with Learning Guide in Notebook LM

What’s changing

We're introducing a new “Learning Guide” option that encourages participation with probing, open-ended questions. Instead of just giving answers, it helps you break down problems step-by-step and adapts explanations to your needs, building a deeper understanding of the subject.
