Google Launches Gemini Notebooks That Sync With NotebookLM

The release positions Gemini as a hub for longer projects with shared context carried between apps.

Overview

  • Google began rolling out notebooks in the Gemini app this week to Google AI Ultra, Pro, and Plus subscribers on the web.
  • Notebooks act as personal knowledge bases that gather chats, files, and custom instructions so Gemini can answer with the sources you choose.
  • The notebooks you create in Gemini sync to NotebookLM, which lets you use features like Video Overviews and Infographics on the same material.
  • The Gemini interface adds a Notebooks section and an Add to notebook option in chat menus, plus controls to use notebook memory and set response style with Instructions.
  • Google says access will reach mobile, more European countries, and free users in the coming weeks, describing this launch as a first step toward deeper integration.
