NotebookLM becomes Gemini Notebook, with existing notebooks preserved
Google says NotebookLM is now called Gemini Notebook as of July 2026. Existing notebooks remain accessible, and the product continues as a standalone tool on web and mobile.
What changed
The page announces a change of name from NotebookLM to Gemini Notebook as of July 2026. Google says it is the same product and all existing notebooks remain fully accessible. It describes an ongoing expansion beyond a standalone app into an integrated workspace that brings users' context across its AI products.
Why it may matter for your work
Existing users may encounter a new name without needing to move their research or notes. The planned direction toward an integrated workspace could make that research more useful across Google's AI products, though the page gives no specific integration rollout details.
What it can actually do
Answer questions grounded in supplied sources, summarize documents, create podcast-style Audio Overviews, and help brainstorm, draft and refine scripts.
Limits to check
The page does not specify pricing or a rollout schedule for cross-product integration. Deleted notes currently have no recovery option.
