Understand anything

Yes. Since July 2026, NotebookLM goes by the name Gemini Notebook. Nothing about the product you rely on has changed, and every notebook you already created is right where you left it.

The new name signals where the product is heading: notebooks are growing from a single app into a connected workspace that carries your context into our other AI tools.

Gemini Notebook is still available as its own tool on the web and on mobile.

Because it works as a research assistant, Gemini Notebook stays source-grounded: its answers and insights come from the material you add, which keeps them more accurate and makes AI mistakes and hallucinations less likely.

Running on the newest Gemini model, Gemini Notebook reads your sources with more nuance. That means sharper summaries, richer links between your documents and more precise answers to the questions you ask.

A few things set Gemini Notebook apart:

• Control over your sources: Notebook works only with the documents and information you give it, so each answer rests on your own knowledge base.
• Fewer hallucinations: because it sticks to the sources you uploaded, Notebook is much less likely to make things up.
• Learning that fits you: Notebook shapes a research and study space around your own material and goals.
• Faster synthesis: it cuts the time it takes to read, combine and draw insights from large amounts of text.
• Answers you can trust: seeing exactly which source each answer comes from makes the output easier to rely on.

Yes. Gemini Notebook can turn your material into a podcast-style Audio Overview. It suits other creative work too: gather your research, summarize your sources, then brainstorm, draft and polish your script with help from AI.

Here are a few ways people fit Gemini Notebook into their day:

• Morning document review — add meeting notes, reports and other files, and let Notebook analyze them so you start the day prepared.
• A research assistant on call — spend less time hunting for answers while Notebook explains concepts, helps you draft emails and proposals, and pulls the key insights out of your sources.
• Study and planning aids — get ready for a meeting or an exam with Notebook’s flashcards, quizzes and report features.
• Evening recap — have Notebook summarize the day’s notes and turn them into to-do lists and plans for tomorrow.
