Google adds notebooks to Gemini AI: How it works

Google has announced a new feature for Gemini to make it easier for users to organise their chats and projects. The company has introduced notebooks inside the Gemini app. Instead of juggling multiple conversations and documents across different places, users can now store everything related to a topic in a single location with the new notebooks feature.

Notebooks in Gemini: What is it and what it works

Google describes notebooks as ‘personal knowledge bases’ within the Gemini app. Users can create a notebook and add chats, documents, PDFs and other files related to a specific topic. Gemini can then use these sources as context to provide more relevant responses.

To use the notebooks feature, users can select the ‘New notebook’ option on the side panel of the Gemini app. From there, they can move previous chats into the notebook, upload files and even give Gemini custom instructions. Once everything is organised inside the notebook, Gemini combines that information with its built-in tools and web search to generate more helpful responses.

Another key highlight of the feature is its connection with NotebookLM. Notebooks created in Gemini automatically sync with NotebookLM, which allows users to continue working across both apps.
