Gemini is adding notebooks inside the Gemini app to help users keep chats, documents and research grouped by project, the company said in an announcement. The feature builds on an earlier integration with NotebookLM and aims to centralize materials for longer tasks.
Notebooks give users a dedicated workspace where they can move past conversations into a single file, attach documents and PDFs, and set custom instructions for Gemini. Gemini uses those sources alongside its artificial intelligence (AI) tools and web search to generate responses with the added context.

Notebooks also sync with NotebookLM so content added in one app appears in the other. "Think of notebooks as personal knowledge bases shared across Google products, starting in Gemini," the company said in an announcement. That link lets users access NotebookLM features such as Video Overviews and Infographics while continuing work in Gemini.
The rollout begins on the web for Google AI Ultra, Pro and Plus subscribers, with mobile, broader European availability and free users coming in the weeks ahead, the company said. The company described this as a first step and said it plans to add more features to notebooks in Gemini over time.
The recap
- Gemini adds notebooks to organize chats and files centrally.
- Notebooks sync with NotebookLM enabling Video Overviews and Infographics.
- Rollout starts for Google AI Ultra, Pro and Plus subscribers.
