Google has renamed NotebookLM to Gemini Notebook, positioning its source-grounded research tool more tightly within the Gemini ecosystem. The change is accompanied by notebook syncing across Gemini Apps, Gemini Notebook, and AI Mode in Google Search, giving users more ways to create, organize, and revisit research projects without treating each interface as a separate workspace.
The rebrand is more than a logo change. According to Google's Gemini Notebook announcement, the service remains a standalone research tool but is intended to do more across Google's products. Google is also rolling out an upgrade that assigns each notebook a secure cloud computer for native code execution. That capability is initially available to Google AI Ultra users and eligible Google Workspace customers, with a planned expansion to Pro users in the following weeks.
For enterprises already using Google Workspace and Gemini, the important development is the connected notebook workflow. Teams can keep projects, conversations, and source collections associated with a notebook while moving between Gemini interfaces. But the rollout is broad rather than universally identical at every moment: Google describes phased access for cloud-enabled capabilities, and mobile access may require users to update the relevant app.
