Google Enhances Gemini and NotebookLM Integration with New Features

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — Google is updating its AI chatbot, Gemini, by adding features that enhance its compatibility with NotebookLM, an AI-powered learning platform. The upcoming functionality will allow users to directly import notebooks, making workflows smoother between the two applications.

Recent code changes reveal plans for a new NotebookLM button within the Gemini app. This integration aims to provide an easier navigation route for users moving between these two tools. This follows Google’s recent addition of Nano Banana, an AI tool that generates summaries and other content into NotebookLM.

The Attachments menu in Gemini will also be expanded to include an option for adding notebooks alongside existing features such as code imports and file uploads. This change suggests that users will soon be able to manage their sources and data directly within Gemini, facilitating more advanced research workflows.

While the specifics of the notebook import feature are still under development, initial reports indicate it could streamline the process of transferring content between applications. Users may set a chatbot session in Gemini as source material within NotebookLM, minimizing the time spent on copying and pasting information.

This development comes as Google aims to strengthen the interoperability of its ecosystem products. The company hopes to appeal to a larger audience by enhancing knowledge management and collaboration among Gemini and NotebookLM users.

Details about the planned feature emerged from a code analysis report, indicating its current status is still in early-stage development. There is no confirmed timeline for its public release, and Google has yet to release official statements regarding these changes.

As Google works on the functionality, it also continues to enhance NotebookLM with new capabilities, creating more robust tools for users relying on AI for structured information management.
