Overview
- Google began rolling out the notebooks feature on Wednesday to AI Ultra, Pro, and Plus subscribers on the web.
- Notebooks let users group topic-based chats, set custom instructions, and attach sources like Drive files, PDFs, websites, or pasted text that Gemini can use for answers.
- A new Add to notebook option in each Gemini chat moves conversations into a project space so prompts draw on the chosen sources.
- Sources added in Gemini appear in NotebookLM and vice versa, enabling cross-app workflows like Video Overviews and Infographics on material started in Gemini.
- Google says mobile access, wider regional availability including Europe, and free-tier access will follow in the coming weeks, with accuracy warnings still in place and some under-18 and certain education accounts reported as excluded.
