NotebookLM is now Gemini Notebook
Points and comments are a snapshot, not live.
Google renamed NotebookLM to Gemini Notebook, adding code execution and cloud sync.
The announcement notes the product is the same standalone research tool, now rebranded under the Gemini umbrella. New features include the ability to run code directly within notebooks for data analysis, rolling out to Pro users. Notebooks will also sync across the Gemini app and Google Search, enabling deeper integration into the Google ecosystem. The change is part of a broader effort to unify Google's AI product lineup.
What commenters are saying
The dominant sentiment is resigned skepticism about Google's history of renaming and killing products, with many commenters predicting Gemini Notebook will eventually be shut down ("killedbygoogle.com"). Several users express frustration that Google's AI models lag behind Anthropic's Claude and OpenAI's GPT, despite Google's resources. A few commenters note the name change is a positive step for brand clarity, while others joke about alternative names. One camp passionately debates the comparative quality of recent Gemini versus competitor models.
