Gemini Notebook

The Google Labs patent drafting assistant has since been incorporated into Gemini Notebook.

RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) first retrieves from a set of documents and then passes the most relevant passages to the model to answer, and Gemini Notebook (formerly Notebook LM) uses this approach to provide answers with citations.

Gemini's Notebook feature allows users to create workspaces where files, Google Drive content, and web links can be added as knowledge sources, and conversations will draw on these sources, web information, and chat history in combination.

Gemini Notebook, formerly known as NotebookLM, can turn books, financial reports, industry articles, and PDF handouts into infographics, slides, mind maps, and audio overviews, with the free tier supporting approximately 100 notebooks, each capable of holding 50 sources.

Audio Overviews is a feature of Gemini Notebook that automatically generates audio summaries in the form of a dialogue between two virtual hosts, typically 10–20 minutes in length, which went viral shortly after its release in 2024.

Sourclip is a research workbench built around Google's Gemini Notebook, serving as a hub for information collection and organization.

Gemini Notebook was formerly known as NotebookLM, released under the name NotebookLM in 2023, renamed to Gemini Notebook in 2024, and integrated into Google's Gemini ecosystem.

The core capability of Gemini Notebook is to use documents, web pages, YouTube videos, and other sources uploaded by users as a knowledge base, allowing AI to answer questions strictly limited to those sources and annotate citations to reduce the risk of hallucination.

Sourclip can transform Gemini Notebook's Audio Overviews into a subscribable and manageable private podcast format, accessible through regular podcast applications.
