GOOGLE 🔥: Gemini Notebook will soon get Connectors! But there is a caveat: Google Drive will be the first, and the only, one available at first.

Your original files remain completely untouched." > "Connect your workspace to chat with your files, sync your notes, and automate tasks across your favorite apps." More Connectors are expected to arrive later. I hope we get them faster than 1-5 per year. Soon 👀
