Did NotebookLM change its name to Gemini Notebook?
Yes. In July 2026 Google renamed NotebookLM (now Gemini Notebook) as part of consolidating its AI tools under the Gemini brand. It is the same product — your existing notebooks, sources, and shared links keep working, and Google auto-redirects old notebooklm.google.com links. Gemini Notebook Toolkit works exactly the same under either name.
In more detail
NotebookLM was renamed to Gemini Notebook in July 2026. Nothing about the product changed apart from the name and branding: it is still Google's source-grounded AI research notebook, still free with a Google account, and still capped at 300 sources per notebook on the free tier (1,500 on the paid tier). Every notebook you already created, every uploaded source, and every share link continues to work — Google automatically redirects old NotebookLM URLs to the new Gemini Notebook interface. Because "NotebookLM" still carries enormous search volume, most people use the names interchangeably; you will often see it written as "NotebookLM (now Gemini Notebook)". Gemini Notebook Toolkit, the leading Chrome extension for one-click source capture, works identically whether you call it NotebookLM or Gemini Notebook.
