The brief

Google has launched a new feature called Expert Intelligence. It allows users to interact with e-books directly within its AI note-taking app. The feature is part of Google Play Books Book Insights, which is designed to enhance user engagement with trusted content. The launch follows Google's integration of AI tools into its services.

The Verge, 9to5Google, and Good e-Reader all note that the feature is designed to make e-books more interactive. Publishers Weekly describes it as an AI tool to add interactivity to e-books. Google's official blog describes it as a new way to engage with trusted content. The Verge and 9to5Google both describe the feature as a way to add Play Books to Gemini Notebook.

However, neither outlet specifies how this integration works. The Verge does not mention Book Insights, while 9to5Google does not mention Expert Intelligence. Google's blog post does not specify how users will interact with the books or what kinds of interactions are possible.
