NotebookLM is now Gemini Notebook

NotebookLM is now Gemini Notebook-2

Google renaming NotebookLM to Gemini Notebook. It’s the same standalone product, now doing more across the Google ecosystem and updated with a secure cloud computer.

We introduced NotebookLM at Google I/O 2023 as Project Tailwind with a simple goal: help people learn. Now, more than 30 million people and over 600,000 organizations are using it to transform how they work, from business owners creating interactive onboarding materials to students converting notes into audio and video summaries.

Today, google renaming NotebookLM to Gemini Notebook. It remains a standalone product focused on being your premier research tool, but it will now do more across the Google ecosystem, including inside the Gemini app and Google Search.

Explore under-the-hood upgrades

To make your research more accurate and powerful, we’ve started to roll out an update that gives every notebook a secure cloud computer. This allows Gemini Notebook to write and execute code natively, helping you conduct complex data analysis grounded in your sources. This is available today for Google AI Ultra users and Workspace business customers with AI Ultra Access and AI Expanded Access. It will roll out to all Pro users on the web over the coming weeks, enabling entirely new output formats and deeper analysis.

Take your notebooks everywhere

Just like a physical notebook, your digital notebooks should go wherever you work. You can already access and create notebooks directly within the Gemini app, with full cross-app syncing between the Gemini app and the standalone Gemini Notebook experience. Soon, we’ll also bring notebooks directly into AI Mode in Search.

To everyone who has been with us since Project Tailwind in 2023, thank you. Google excited to keep building this ecosystem with you. Try out the new features and let us know what you learn.

NotebookLM is now Gemini Notebook

Google rebranded NotebookLM to Gemini Notebook. While it might look like a name swap at first glance, the change aligns the tool directly with Google’s broader Gemini ecosystem and expands what it can do behind the scenes.

Here is what you need to know about the transition:

Key Updates & Capabilities

Cloud-Based Code Execution: Every notebook now has access to a secure cloud computing environment. This allows the AI to write and execute code against your uploaded sources—giving you real-time data analysis, chart generation, and complex calculations rather than just text summaries.
Deeper Gemini Integration: Notebooks are now synced directly across the web and the main Gemini App. You can start a notebook via a Gemini chat, reference your sources, and carry the context over seamlessly.
Cross-Platform Availability: Google is integrating Gemini Notebook natively across devices and workflows, including preinstalled access on flagship Android foldables and upcoming expansion into AI Mode in Google Search.

What Stays the Same?

Your data and workflows are safe. Existing notebooks, uploaded sources (PDFs, Google Docs, YouTube links), pinned notes, and custom Audio Overviews remain intact. Your uploaded documents continue to remain private and are never used to train Google’s models.
