Gemini Notebook just introduced a co-creation workflow for Slide Decks and Video Overviews, giving users direct control over content and visuals. Instead of jumping straight from prompt to final render, a new Review toggle lets you inspect outlines and producer notes mid-process to tweak scenes. The update rolls out globally to all users over the upcoming week.
Google just rolled out a major update to Gemini Notebook, adding real-time voice conversations grounded in your uploaded sources across nearly 100 languages on mobile. The update also adds lecture audio recording, customizable quizzes and flashcards, and 60-second animated study videos in 80+ languages—plus free premium plan subscriptions for eligible college students worldwide.
Google just introduced flexible, compute-based usage limits for Gemini Notebook, replacing the rigid daily reset with refreshes every five hours. The system factors in prompt complexity, chat length, and feature usage, and lets you queue heavy tasks like slide decks when running low. It rolls out to consumer accounts on web and mobile starting Sept 2.
Google just introduced Expert Intelligence, allowing users to import purchased ebooks from Google Play Books directly into Gemini Notebook. Launching with over 100,000 titles from publishers like Penguin Random House and O'Reilly, it lets you ask questions, generate audio overviews, and run quizzes grounded in the text. Crucially, shared collaborators must also own the book to access its insights.
Google just rebranded NotebookLM to Gemini Notebook, folding its research tool deeper into the broader Gemini ecosystem. The update adds a secure cloud computer under the hood, allowing it to write and execute code natively for heavy data analysis. Ultra subscribers get access now, with web Pro rollouts coming in the next few weeks.
