Notebooks in Gemini: a dedicated workspace for focused, organized work, now for schools and organizations

In April, we announced notebooks in Gemini as a dedicated, focused space for individual users to organize their projects and conversations. Now, students of all ages, educators, and professionals can access notebooks to keep conversations about a topic organized in one place. For example:

• Students can upload all of their materials for a specific course into a single notebook to turn Gemini into a personalized, course-aware study partner that can generate custom practice quizzes and simplify complex topics.
• Educators can upload their curriculum standards, assignment rubrics, and lesson templates to rapidly generate aligned coursework, differentiated learning materials, and targeted student feedback.
• Professionals can upload product information, project details, research reports, and strategy notes for a specific topic into a notebook to synthesize key insights and draft deliverables.

This tool also combines two of Google’s most powerful AI tools, the Gemini app and Gemini Notebook, to unlock new ways of working and studying. For example, if you’re a student, try adding class notes to a notebook and using Gemini Notebook to create a Cinematic Video Overview. The next day, open the notebook in the Gemini app and ask it to create a study guide based on that same material.

Getting started

• Admins: Access to Notebooks in Gemini is on by default, and is controlled using the Gemini App and Gemini Notebook access settings.

Notebooks in Gemini are available to users who are in a group or OU with both Gemini Notebook and Gemini set to On.
