Google is adding a Notebook feature to Gemini to more efficiently organize conversations and files around a single specific topic.
Google announced the new Gemini feature in a blog post. Gemini Notebooks is designed to help you better organize conversations around a specific project. You can bundle files, previous conversations, and specific instructions, which Gemini will use as context throughout the rest of the conversation.
The feature is first being rolled out to users with an AI subscription. The Plus plan costs €7.99 per month, the Pro subscription €21.99, and the top-tier Ultra subscription a whopping €274.99 per month. In addition to more Gemini credits, you also get extra AI functionality across various Workspace applications.
Integration with NotebookLM
Does the new Gemini feature remind you of NotebookLM, the application Google introduced three years ago for this exact purpose? That’s right. NotebookLM is intended as an online research tool, although the app has also evolved into a glorified podcast creator.
Google announced that Gemini Notebooks and NotebookLM will work together. You will be able to sync your notebooks between the Gemini app and NotebookLM. If you add a file or note in one place, it will also appear in the other. NotebookLM will retain its unique functionalities, such as audio and video overviews, which you will also be able to use for notebooks started in Gemini.
