Google rebrands NotebookLM to Gemini Notebook

Google has officially rebranded NotebookLM as Gemini Notebook. While the name has changed to bring the tool under Google’s primary AI umbrella, it remains a standalone product dedicated to being your premier research and learning assistant. [1]

Key Updates & New Features

Secure Cloud Computer: Every notebook is now equipped with a secure sandbox environment. This enables Gemini Notebook to natively write and run code for complex data analysis grounded entirely in your uploaded sources. [1, 2]
Deeper Ecosystem Syncing: Your existing notebooks are now accessible directly within the left-hand navigation of the Gemini app, with full cross-app syncing. [1, 3]
Search Integration: Google is actively working to bring your notebooks straight into AI Mode within Google Search. [1, 4]
The Same Core Experience: Your existing notes, uploaded documents, and generated Audio Overviews are completely unaffected by the name change. Google also confirmed that user data remains private and is never used to train its AI models. [5, 6, 7]

Feature Availability

The new code execution upgrade is currently live for Google AI Ultra subscribers and Workspace business customers with AI Ultra or AI Expanded access. Google plans to roll out code execution to all Pro users on the web over the coming weeks. [1]
