Goodbye to NotebookLM: Google unveils a new name, design, and new features

Google has announced that NotebookLM is being renamed Gemini Notebook, a change with which the Mountain View-based company wants to align its reSearch tool more closely with its main AI brand. With the name change, the logo takes on Gemini’s characteristic blue-and-purple gradient, but there’s much more.

A name change that signals closer integration

Gemini Notebook will continue to function as an independent product and will remain focused on helping us research, organize sources, and draw conclusions. The new name, however, speaks to greater integration with Google’s ecosystem as we’re already seeing with Gemini inside Workspace, Gmail, and Search.

Notebooks now appear in the Gemini app, which is key to bringing conversations and work together in one place, and they’ll soon arrive in Google Search’s AI Mode. Beyond the name change, this significantly expands what the platform can do.

Beyond being able to turn documents into audio conversations, Gemini Notebook now uses the full power of Gemini 3.5, while Antigravity will roll out to Google AI Pro subscribers first in a few weeks. Each notebook will also have a secure computer in the cloud capable of running code, which will be especially useful for analyzing our sources and will offer new output formats with greater precision, speed, and flexibility, according to Google.

With more than 30 million people and 600,000 organizations using the service, the name change and the new features confirm Google’s commitment to Gemini. Meanwhile, Google is expanding the possibilities and capabilities of one of the most comprehensive and flexible research tools.
