NotebookLM is Google's AI research notebook: you add your own sources and ask questions, get summaries or create Audio Overviews. Google lists it as “Gemini Notebook” on its Workspace status dashboard, and the old notebooklm.google.com address now forwards to notebook.google.com. We read Google's dashboard every few minutes and check the site every minute.
