Google’s handy NotebookLM tool is dropping the worst part of its name

TL;DR NotebookLM has been renamed Gemini Notebook. Platform functionality remains the same under the Gemini brand. Google says notebooks will eventually be accessible via AI Mode in Search, too.

Google is folding NotebookLM into the Gemini brand: The company announced today that NotebookLM is now Gemini Notebook. The renamed platform itself isn’t changing, but its new branding does make it clearer that the service formerly known as NotebookLM is a part of Google’s broader AI ecosystem. If this sounds familiar, you may be remembering a feature Gemini picked up in April called Notebooks .

That update let users start research projects inside Gemini and then later continue them inside NotebookLM. That’s still possible today; the only aspect of Gemini Notebook that’s changed is the name.
