Gemini gets notebooks to help you organize projects

Google’s Gemini is getting a feature called “notebooks” to help you organize items on certain topics in one place while using the AI ​​chatbot, the company announced Wednesday. You can embed things like files, past conversations, and personalized instructions into notebooks that Gemini can then use as context while you talk with it.

Notebooks are a lot like ChatGPT’s Projects feature, which launched in 2024 and allows users to store items on a certain topic in one place. Google recommends “thinking of notebooks as personal knowledge bases shared across Google products, starting with Gemini.” Gemini laptops also sync with Google’s NotebookLM AI search tool, meaning sources you add while using one of the apps will appear in both.

Gemini laptops are rolling out this week to the web for subscribers to Google’s AI Ultra, Pro and Plus plans, according to Google. The feature will be available on mobile and for free users in the “coming weeks.”
