In the world of marketing, we need to stay on top of trends, but it is hard to catch them all. Sometimes it's even challenging to find relevant sources, and many people use deep research for this purpose, and then they paste the output into a Notebook to query the report. But no, it's no longer needed: The preset function is available inside the Notebook. Let's test it. I open a new notebook, and immediately I can select the preset. I prompt it, "Search for the AI trends in marketing and e-commerce for 2026." It can browse our Drive or the web. I go for "web". Now it will take a while to generate. So again we will speed up. I got the results, and here I have the report. I can view it. I can analyze sources and select the ones I find credible, and I can import sources and the report as a source for the notebook, and it's uploading. Once we have it, I simply ask, "What are the top three AI trends in the marketing world?" and it will provide me the answer with citations. Now, I want to listen to this when I commute. But I want to influence the flow of the conversation. So, I can go to the audio overview and click "Customize". I want hosts to argue about one specific topic. So I will prompt "Focus the debate on the impact of AI on marketing jobs." And here I can select different modes of audio overview, critique, and debate. You can choose whatever you like. I will stay with the deep dive. And now, finally, I want to show you one last feature with audio overview, where you can actually join the conversation and ask your questions with your voice. So, to do that, we go to interactive mode. Here we click play, and I can join the conversation by asking my question: "What is one key insight?" Joining a podcast in Notebook is actually my favorite feature. Try it out on your notes. And that will be it for Notebook. Thank you so much.
