Product Launch 2026
Figure 1 — Title overview from the deck
Why this launch matters
Your Studio deck framed the launch as a focused push into mid-market teams that already research with NotebookLM. The blog keeps that narrative and turns each slide into a scannable section.
Market snapshot
Figure 2 — Market & opportunity slide
Ideal customer profile
Operators who manage research libraries, share briefs with stakeholders, and need exports that travel outside the notebook. Position the product as the bridge from Studio artifacts to publishable guides.
