Google Renames NotebookLM to Gemini Notebook with Code Execution and Cloud Sync

Google has announced that NotebookLM will be renamed Gemini Notebook, a move that integrates the research tool more deeply into its AI ecosystem while retaining its standalone functionality. The platform now serves over 30 million users and 600,000 organizations.

What Changed

The name change is not a new product but an evolution of NotebookLM, originally launched as Project Tailwind at Google I/O 2023. Gemini Notebook remains a separate app but now syncs seamlessly with the Gemini app and will soon integrate with Google Search's AI Mode Source: portafolioco. The tool ensures responses are anchored only in user-uploaded sources, reducing hallucinations Source: infobae.

Code Execution

A major technical update is the ability to write and execute code within notebooks using a secure cloud computer per notebook. This enables complex data analysis directly from user-provided sources Source: portafolioco. The feature is available for AI Ultra and Workspace users, rolling out to Pro users soon Source: infobae.

Integration and Availability

Notebooks created in any app are automatically synchronized. Google plans to bring notebooks to Search's AI Mode in the future Source: infobae. The new capabilities expand the tool's use for research, corporate training, and content creation.
