Google made a significant splash with the launch of NotebookLM in 2023. Although NotebookLM is built on the Gemini AI framework, it has yet to integrate seamlessly with the Gemini app itself. This may soon change, as recent reports reveal that Google is developing a new feature to enable direct import of information from NotebookLM into Gemini, along with an in-app link to NotebookLM from Gemini.
These forthcoming enhancements were uncovered in new code by TestingCatalog and signal a future where Gemini and NotebookLM collaborate more closely. While specific details on the integration remain under wraps, it’s exciting to anticipate Google uniting these two AI tools to work in tandem.
If you haven’t explored NotebookLM yet, there are compelling reasons to do so. It offers premade AI notebooks on a variety of curated topics, helping users dive deeper into subjects of interest. Additionally, NotebookLM can transform your source material into engaging video overviews, including popular formats like anime-style animations.
The move to integrate NotebookLM with Gemini seems logical, as it will boost accessibility and encourage users to leverage both tools together more naturally. NotebookLM excels at helping users interact with large volumes of information, while Gemini has incorporated key features from NotebookLM, such as audio overviews, to simplify and enhance the AI experience.
Although there is no set timeline for when these integrations will roll out, the feature currently appears hidden in code and unavailable to the public. However, with Google aggressively promoting Gemini and planning to replace Google Assistant with Gemini in 2026, this integration could arrive sooner rather than later—especially following recent additions like Deep Research capabilities in NotebookLM.
