An Alternative to External Search Engines
The Discover feature allows you to find reference materials directly within the app. It functions similarly to Google Gemini, meaning you no longer need to leave NotebookLM to perform manual searches on Google Search.
The Advantage of Direct Source Integration
Using the Discover tab is significantly faster than the 'Manual Upload' method as it eliminates the steps of downloading files from the internet and then re-uploading them into the system.
