IFOY AWARD 2026: Test Results and IFOY Innovation Checks Now Available via AI Notebook

For the 2026 round, the IFOY AWARD has compiled all of the finalists’ test results and IFOY Innovation Checks in a Google NotebookLM. This event is aimed at trade visitors, journalists, and anyone who would like to get a quick, in-depth overview of the technical evaluations of the current finalists.

What is NotebookLM?

NotebookLM is an AI-powered research tool from Google that provides answers to specific questions based on selected, uploaded sources—in this case, the IFOY test reports and Innovation Checks. Unlike a general AI search, NotebookLM relies exclusively on the stored documents. The answers are therefore based directly on the data and evaluations collected by the IFOY testers and Innovation Checkers, not on external or unsubstantiated sources.

The Benefits for Users

Users can ask the notebook questions directly—for example, about specific products, technical features, or comparisons between finalists—and receive a structured, source-based answer. Instead of wading through individual test reports, this approach allows you to find the relevant information in a targeted manner—whether it concerns innovation, functionality, or the specific features of the systems being tested. This feature supplements the existing test reports on the website with an interactive search option, thereby facilitating a more in-depth exploration of the products and solutions offered by the 2026 IFOY AWARD Finalists.
