Why was Notebook LM renamed to Gemini Notebook and what does the new name mean?
This is the Everyday AI Show, the everyday podcast where we simplify AI and bring its power to your fingertips. Listen daily for practical advice to boost your career, business, and everyday life.
How long has it been since we featured Notebook LM on this show? Apparently, so long, well, it isn't even called Notebook LM. It has a new name. Yes, the tool once known as Notebook LM is no more. But don't worry, one of my favorite AI tools ever didn't go to the Google graveyard. It actually just graduated and got upgraded into the official Gemini lineup and is now called Gemini Notebooks. But the name isn't the only thing that's new. That's because over the last month or so, the team at Google has rolled out a bunch of new features that legit supercharge Gemini Notebooks and make it agentic by default, which sounds really cool and all, but well, why haven't we been talking about it? Because many of those upgrades were only for users on the expensive Ultra plan.
but this past week that changed. Now the updates that have completely changed the face of Gemini Notebook are available to all paid users. And that's why we're gonna be showcasing the seven most important updates today as we put AI to work on Wednesdays. All right, so on today's show, here's what you're going to learn. You're going to know why Notebook LM is no more and why Gemini Notebook might actually make more sense. You're going to know the one important grounded change that you really need to be aware of. And you're going to understand the real reason Gemini Notebook going agentic matters more than ever. All right, let's get into it.

All right, so let's talk Gemini notebooks. Yeah, notebook LM is no more. So sad, right? But it's not... gone. It just got a facelift, uh, both on the exterior and a lot going on under the hood as well. And this is one of those things I think over the last couple of years, a lot of people were kind of nervous because Google has done this before where they've come out with great products, right?
What are the seven brand‑new updates released for Gemini Notebook?
And this isn't just in the AI age and the pre AI phase, maybe even more. They've come out with very popular products that a lot of people love, almost built like a cult-like following, and then they end up killing those products. So a lot of people were very nervous over the last couple of years as Notebook LM almost seemed like this side quest that was legit amazing, right? No joke. I think we named it like our AI tool of the year in 2024 and 2025. So a lot of people were worried like, hey, don't take this away. It's very unique because there's no, you know, the other competitors, you know, no one from Anthropic, OpenAI, Microsoft, you know, X, Grok, Meta, like no one else has something like Notebook LM that really just grounds its outputs in your data only.
So luckily, they didn't get rid of it. And it seems like if anything, Gemini Notebook is going to be along for the long run. So let's quickly go over and not going to make you wait. Here's the seven new updates to Gemini Notebook. I'm going to be going over them pretty quickly now. And we're going to be doing some live demos so you can see these seven updates in action. And then when we're done with the live demos, I'll come back and talk about these things a little bit more. So number one, new update already talked about it.
