I still remember the exact room, watching @stevenbjohnson break down how he writes books. That was the spark for a little project we never imagined would grow this big.
Today, over 30 million people and 600,000 organizations use it, and it keeps growing. We all feel like it's just getting started.
For a while, we’ve just called it "Notebook" internally. Today, we're making it official externally. :)
3 years ago we started as a tiny experiment with the goal of helping you learn faster.
Since then, we grew to bring audio, video, and interactivity to your sources, transitioning from a passive workspace to your true research companion.
And now, notebooks have even become an entire ecosystem: you can already access them in the @GeminiApp and soon in Google Search
So, with these advancements, it’s time for us to evolve once again:
NotebookLM is now Gemini Notebook ✨📓
The same app you know and love isn’t going anywhere, we just have an updated name that reflects our role in Google's AI portfolio.
And our mission stays exactly the same: helping you learn, faster.
Thank you for believing in us— this wouldn't have been possible without your passion (and feature requests...)
Big things to come (yes, even folders📂!) so stay tuned.
Sincerely,
The Project Tailwind team

Notebooks in Gemini app is a top community ask - awesome to get this in before the holidays!
NotebookLM 🤝 @GeminiApp
You can now upload Notebooks directly into the GeminiApp. This is great for:
— Combining multiple Notebooks
— Generating images or apps inspired from your Notebooks
— Building on top of existing Notebooks with online research
— And more!
Try it today!
We shipped a number of features today. But there's real magic in combining them, putting together in-the-moment context acquisition with rich content transformation.
Turn long, dry text into glanceable instructions and checklists (and keeping the notebook for Q&A later)
🚨 MAJOR MOBILE UPDATES:
1. Upload images as sources directly from your mobile app. Select an image from your camera roll OR tap the new camera icon to take a live picture (whiteboards, textbooks, handouts, etc).
2. Infographics and Slide Decks are officially rolling out on mobile! Utilize the best of Nano Banana Pro, right from your pocket.
3. The app will save the progress on your audio overviews, so even if you exit the app, you can track which ones you've already completed or pick up where you left off (across mobile and web!)

Upload a meeting transcript to NotebookLM and get it to turn it into a slide deck using Nano Banana Pro. Absolutely insane.
xster retweeted
With Slide Decks, it's less about making slides and more about telling stories. Try out any of these 4 use cases and see for yourself!
1. Sources to storybook
2. Deep Research report to simplified slides
3. Messy Notes into organized thoughts
4. Ugly Slides to Pretty Slides
