Google Unveils Deep Research: Revolutionizing AI-Enabled Research With NotebookLM

Google is set to redefine digital research with its latest upgrade to NotebookLM. The new Deep Research tool integrates seamlessly into the AI note-taking assistant, automating the process of collecting and synthesizing online information to create detailed, source-grounded reports.

How Deep Research Works

Deep Research acts like a dedicated research assistant. Users can initiate a search in the source panel and choose “Web” as their source, then select between a comprehensive briefing using Deep Research or opt for a quicker overview with Fast Research. The tool creates a research plan from your inquiry, browses relevant websites, and compiles findings into a structured report that can be directly added to your notebook.

Enhancing Workflow With Expanded File-Type Support

Beyond its research capabilities, NotebookLM now supports additional file types. Users can upload Google Sheets, Drive files via URLs, PDFs from Google Drive, and Microsoft Word documents. This update facilitates the generation of summaries from diverse data sources and enables effortless management of multiple Drive files.

Continued Investment In AI-Driven Tools

Since its launch in late 2023, Google has steadily expanded NotebookLM’s functionality. Innovations such as Video Overviews and Audio Overviews have transformed raw multimedia content and dense documents into digestible visual and auditory formats. With recent releases of dedicated apps for Android and iOS, Google is making these powerful research tools accessible across multiple platforms.

Looking Ahead

The Deep Research tool and expanded file support are expected to be available to all users within the week. This development underscores Google’s commitment to enhancing productivity and efficiency in research, empowering professionals to build in-depth, organized knowledge bases without interrupting their workflow.

Eurobank Wins Two Euromoney Awards Following Cyprus Merger

Eurobank has been named Cyprus’ Best Bank for 2026 by Euromoney, while also receiving the award for Best Bank for Large Corporates at the publication’s latest Awards for Excellence.

Merger Marks A Milestone

The awards recognise the bank’s performance during 2025, a year marked by the completion of the legal merger between Hellenic Bank and Eurobank Cyprus. The transaction created Eurobank Limited, which the group says is now Cyprus’ largest banking and insurance organisation, with assets exceeding €28 billion.

Euromoney’s Awards for Excellence evaluate banks’ performance over the previous calendar year, with this edition covering January 1 to December 31, 2025.

Lending, Customers And Digital Growth

Eurobank said its business lending portfolio expanded by around 17 per cent during 2025, while its customer base grew to more than 710,000 retail clients and 11,500 business customers.

The bank also continued its digital expansion, saying more than 96 per cent of transactions are now completed through digital channels, and most financing applications are submitted via its mobile app.

Expanding International Presence

Eurobank also highlighted the opening of its first representative office in India, describing the move as a step toward strengthening business links between Cyprus and India while supporting Cyprus’ role as a gateway to the European Union for Indian businesses and investors.

According to the bank, Euromoney recognised not only the successful completion of the merger but also its lending growth, digital transformation and contribution to Cyprus’ position as an international business and investment hub.

CEO On The Awards

“The Euromoney awards confirm Eurobank’s strong momentum and the successful implementation of our group’s strategy in Cyprus,” Chief Executive Michalis Louis said.

He said the merger strengthened the bank’s ability to support households, businesses and the wider economy, while highlighting continued investment in digital services and the opening of the representative office in India as key milestones during the year.
