Google just announced Notebooks in Gemini — a new feature that turns the Gemini app into a more structured, project-aware workspace by merging it more deeply with NotebookLM.

What Are Notebooks?​


Notebooks are personal knowledge bases inside the Gemini app that give you a dedicated space to organize your chats, files, and custom instructions around a specific project or topic. You can find them in a new Notebooks section in the Gemini side panel, sitting between "My stuff" and "Gems." You can move past chats into a notebook, upload documents and PDFs, and give Gemini custom instructions on tone and behavior — all scoped to that notebook.

Gemini + NotebookLM Sync​


The standout capability is the bidirectional sync between the Gemini app and NotebookLM. Any source you add in one app automatically appears in the other, meaning you can start a research session in Gemini and seamlessly switch to NotebookLM to generate Video Overviews, Infographics, or Audio Overviews from the same material. Chats from Gemini also appear as a source inside NotebookLM, keeping everything connected.
