Gemini Notebook, formerly NotebookLM, is a Google app for research and note-taking. Users add their own sources, such as documents, and the assistant summarizes them and answers questions grounded in that material. Google describes it as a research and thinking partner built with the latest Gemini models.
According to creator coverage, recent additions include audio chats about notes, a mobile audio recorder for capturing lectures, and interactive learning overviews with quizzes and flashcards. These were reported as not yet fully rolled out. Earlier versions of the product were also known for generating audio overviews of uploaded sources.
It is accessed through the web at notebooklm.google.com and Google's notebook site. The pages provided give no pricing, supported-country or data-residency details, so those are not confirmed here.

Video overview feature creates cinematic explainer animations from source documents; the creator found the generated animations on a birds-aren't-real topic usable as B-roll.
NotebookLM now runs on Gemini 3.5, with a secure cloud computer to write and run code, 100+ skills, more output formats and better guided research. Creator tried a chart request and got a result that wasn't quite what was asked.
