Google rebrands NotebookLM as Gemini Notebook, focusing on ecosystem and accessibility
Google LLC today announced that its popular NotebookLM, the company’s artificial intelligence-powered research assistant, is being rebranded as Gemini Notebook and is getting upgrades aimed at providing secure cloud computing for every notebook.
Launched globally in 2023, NotebookLM, began as an AI note-taking and source understanding application that allowed people to upload large amounts of documentary content in order to have it organize information. As time went on, Google Labs experimented with and added audio and video overviews, infographics, slides, flashcards and more.
Notebook will remain a standalone app, even as it is being incorporated within the Gemini app, the web interface for the company’s flagship AI models. The company said it also has plans to incorporate its capabilities into AI Mode in Google Search.
In addition to the rebrand, the company is expanding the previously announced updates for Pro subscription users, introducing new agentic capabilities and more advanced reasoning. The platform now runs in Gemini 3.5, the company’s most powerful model series, and Antigravity, an agentic coding platform.
