Notebooks in the Gemini app
Notebooks give you a dedicated space to organise your chats and files, and because they sync with NotebookLM, you can unlock even more efficient workflows directly from Gemini.
With notebooks, you can keep conversations about a topic organised in one place. Click “New notebook” on the side panel of the Gemini app to get started. You can move past chats into notebooks, give Gemini custom instructions and add relevant files like documents and PDFs to give Gemini more context.
Once your handpicked sources are organised into a notebook, Gemini uses them alongside its powerful tools and web search to provide uniquely helpful responses. Notebooks let you use sources depending on your subscription plan, helping you tackle bigger tasks and longer-running projects.
And since notebooks sync across the Gemini app and NotebookLM, any source you add in one place automatically appears in the other. You can use unique features of each app, like Video Overviews and Infographics in NotebookLM, even if you started a notebook in the Gemini app.

Notebooks is rolling out in Gemini this week, starting with Google AI Ultra, Google AI Pro and Google AI Plus subscribers on the web. It is revealed that in the coming weeks, the company will expand notebook access in the Gemini app to mobile, to more countries across Europe, and to free users.
