What happened
Google introduced "notebooks" within its Gemini app, integrating the feature with NotebookLM. These notebooks function as personal knowledge bases, enabling users to organise chats, provide custom instructions, and add files such as documents and PDFs to give Gemini more context. The feature supports increased source usage based on subscription tiers and syncs across both applications. Initial availability targets Google AI Ultra, Pro, and Plus web subscribers this week, with expanded access planned for mobile, additional European regions, and free users in coming weeks.
Why it matters
Enhanced organisation and AI context provision streamline complex project workflows, reducing manual data management overhead. For founders and CTOs, this capability improves the efficiency of AI-assisted research and development, accelerating project timelines and reducing resource allocation for data preparation. Subscription tiers dictate the volume of sources, impacting the depth of AI-assisted research. Procurement teams should evaluate subscription models based on project complexity and required source integration to optimise research capabilities.
