Gemini Notebook Integration Now Available Directly Within Chat

A New Feature in the Gemini Ecosystem

Google has enhanced the functionality of its artificial intelligence platform, Gemini. The company has officially added Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM) to its list of Connected Apps. This update means users no longer need to toggle between different windows and applications, as everything can now be managed directly from the Gemini chat interface.

Connected Apps represent a strategic direction for Google, aiming to transform the chatbot into a unified workspace. Through this feature, Gemini connects directly to various services, allowing users to retrieve information or perform tasks without leaving the chat window. Previously, this category included services such as Peloton, SeatGeek, and Airtable.

How the Integration Works

Using the new feature is straightforward. Simply type the command "@Gemini Notebook" in the chat field to activate the integration. Once enabled, users can perform a variety of tasks, including:

• Creating new notebooks;
• Adding and managing information sources;
• Saving notes;
• Searching and summarising data from existing notebooks.

This integration is particularly useful for those who use Gemini for research or processing large volumes of text. Instead of opening the separate NotebookLM website, you can ask Gemini to extract information from a specific document or prepare a summary based on existing materials.

Who Can Use the Feature

According to Google, the new Gemini Notebook integration is available to a wide range of users. It is accessible to Google Workspace corporate clients, Workspace Individual subscribers, and, most importantly, owners of standard personal Google accounts.

This update marks another step toward making Google’s AI not just a text generator, but a personal assistant integrated into real-world workflows. For users who rely on Google’s office tools, this change will significantly simplify information organisation and boost productivity. Looking ahead, the list of Connected Apps is expected to grow, further expanding Gemini’s capabilities as a versatile tool for daily tasks.
