Google rebrands NotebookLM as Gemini Notebook, focusing on ecosystem and accessibility

Google LLC today announced that its artificial intelligence-powered research assistant NotebookLM is being rebranded as Gemini Notebook and is getting upgrades aimed at providing secure cloud computing for every notebook. The company said the platform now runs in Gemini 3.5, its most powerful model series, and Antigravity, an agentic coding platform. These updates will allow the notebook and thought organization system to generate more reliable and accurate information by tapping into scripting, allowing it to curate large data sources and visualize them, and use the model's built-in reasoning capabilities. Each notebook will also run on a secure cloud computer, allowing Notebook to write and run code for running deeper research and more complex analysis. The company said the system now includes over 100 curated software skills, which will enable it to provide a wider variety of analysis and output formats. The cloud computer update is rolling out to Ultra users, the $100-per-month subscription, and Workspace enterprise customers with Ultra Access and Expanded Access. It will become available to Pro users on the web over the coming weeks. Notebook will remain a standalone app, even as it is being incorporated within the Gemini app, the web interface for the company's flagship AI models. The company said it also has plans to incorporate its capabilities into AI Mode in Google Search. With the rebrand and new secure cloud computers, Google said Notebook will be more broadly connected to the rest of the company's ecosystem.
