NotebookLM is now Gemini Notebook

We’re 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.

NotebookLM is now Gemini Notebook, continuing its mission as your primary research tool. You can now run code directly within your notebooks for deeper data analysis, a feature rolling out to all Pro users soon. Look for your notebooks to sync across the Gemini app and Google Search as we continue to expand these capabilities.

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, we’re 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. We’re excited to keep building this ecosystem with you.
