Slowly but steadily, Google has been integrating NotebookLM Gemini Notebook across its products and services. Following its integration with Google Drive and the Gemini app, Google is now bringing Gemini Notebook to Google Docs.

The new link lets you use Gemini Notebook as a context source in Google Docs, grounding your drafts in information from your notebooks and projects. So, if you’re working on a Google Doc related to a project in Gemini Notebook, you can use that project’s information without switching tabs or copying and pasting it.

Inside a Google Docs, type "@" in the Gemini side panel or the bottom bar followed by the Gemini Notebook project you want to use as a context source for the document. Based on your prompt, Gemini will then generate the document, grounding the information in the context of the Gemini Notebook. The document will also contain inline citations, so you can easily verify the facts.

Your research, right where you write

This is a handy feature if you rely heavily on Google Notebook for research purposes. Within Google Docs, you can easily pull that research information to create any relevant document.

For example, if you have collected interview notes, background reports, and earlier drafts for a project, you could reference that notebook while writing a proposal in Google Docs. Gemini can use those materials to produce a first draft and cite the sources behind its claims. You can then take it from there.

This can be especially helpful when working on a complex project with multiple files. Instead of adding them individually in Gemini, you can directly pull them within Google Docs.

As of now, apart from Business, Enterprise, and Education Plus customers, this Gemini Notebook integration is available for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers. Make sure you have Gemini for Workspace in Drive or the Workspace smart features enabled.

Google says the Gemini Notebook integration in Google Docs should already be live for your account.

This Google Docs and Gemini Notebook integration comes just over a week after Google rolled out a fresh new look for Gemini Notebook. Plus, the mobile app gained an audio recorder tool, making it ideal for recording lectures and ideas, which you can then use as sources in your notebook. Google will also soon add more quiz formats, including short answer, multiple choices, and fill in the blank to Gemini Notebook.
