Steven Johnson Tests NotebookLM Camera: Snap Photos, Get a Detailed Research Report
stevenbjohnson · x · 2026-09-18
Steven Johnson shared his experience with the Gemini Notebook (NotebookLM) mobile camera feature for on-the-go research: while working in the Sierras, he photographed everything including museum displays, then asked NotebookLM for a detailed report of all the information in the images. He fact-checked it himself and found it 99% accurate, even transcribing text too blurry for him to read. Jason amplified the praise, calling NotebookLM a sleeper product and asking Sundar Pichai to triple the project's resources.
