Gemini Notebook Logo.

Gemini Notebook is an AI-powered tool designed by Google to help users organize, summarize, and extract information from various sources. You can upload documents like Google Docs, PDFs, web URLs, and more to create notebooks. Gemini Notebook then allows you to ask questions about the content, generate summaries, and create various outputs such as timelines, study guides, and audio overviews. It is designed to help you analyze, understand, summarize, and generate content from your own sources rather than primarily relying on information on the web.

Login information

Key Features

Source-Based Research

Upload materials such as PDFs, Google Docs, Google Slides, websites, YouTube videos, and audio files. Gemini Notebook analyzes those sources and becomes an expert on the information you've provided.

Ask Questions About Your Documents

You can chat with your sources and ask questions like:

  • "Summarize this report."
  • "What are the main risks?"
  • "Compare the viewpoints in these articles."
  • "Create a study guide from these notes."

The responses are grounded in your uploaded content.

Citations and Source References

One of Gemini Notebook's most useful features is that it provides citations showing exactly where information came from in your source material, making it easier to verify answers.

Audio Overviews (AI Podcasts)

Gemini Notebook can generate conversational audio discussions that sound like a podcast between two hosts discussing your source material. This is useful for learning on the go, reviewing research, and studying complex topics.

Automatic Content Generation

It can create summaries, study guides, FAQs, briefing documents, presentation outlines, and meeting preparation materials.

Idea Generation and Research Analysis

  • Identify trends
  • Compare sources
  • Find connections between documents
  • Brainstorm new ideas
  • Highlight gaps in research
