TL;DR
- Google has confirmed it is bringing Sheets support to NotebookLM “very soon.”
- This complements Docs and Slides support in NotebookLM.
- Sheets support is currently limited to NotebookLM Plus users, i.e., those who subscribe to Google’s AI Plus or AI Pro plans.
NotebookLM is easily one of Google’s most highly cherished AI tools, with fewer haters than any other of Google’s apps. It lets you research and process data from numerous different sources and convert verbose formats into digestible chunks, or even AI-generated podcasts and video essays. With an upcoming update, Google is set to improve file support for free users.
Google Drive integration already lets you import files from Docs and Slides as sources to NotebookLM. But the research tool lacks support for Google Sheets (or .XLS and .XLSX files) in the free tier. Thankfully, if you’ve been yearning for the option to import your Sheets or Excel files to NotebookLM, Google may be bringing it to you soon.
