NotebookLM, named one of Time Magazine’s ‘Best Inventions of 2024,’ is an AI-powered research assistant built by Google using its Gemini models. With NotebookLM, users can upload source documents (e.g., Google Doc and Slides, PDFs, web URLs, copied text) to a notebook to synthesize, uncover insights, and enjoy new ways of engaging with information. These include:
- Asking NotebookLM questions about the information in those sources. NotebookLM will then respond with answers from the sources uploaded, with inline citations from those documents to show users what NotebookLM based its answers on.
- Generating a variety of content based on the sources uploaded, such as summaries, briefing documents, timelines, FAQs, and even podcast-like Audio Overviews.
To date, millions of people and tens of thousands of organizations are already using NotebookLM to better understand and engage with the information that matters most to them.
In response to growing demand from organizations to leverage NotebookLM in deeper ways, Google Cloud is announcing that NotebookLM Plus, the newest and most advanced version of NotebookLM, is now available to Gemini for Google Workspace customers.
NotebookLM Plus comes with a new set of features and higher usage limits, including five times more Audio Overviews, notebooks, and sources per notebook
In addition to what’s already included with NotebookLM, NotebookLM Plus allows organizational users to get five times more Audio Overviews, queries, notebooks, and sources per notebook; customize the style and length of their notebooks; and create shared notebooks for their team and get usage analytics.
With its additional privacy and security features, organizations can use NotebookLM Plus with confidence, knowing their sources, queries, and responses stay within their organization. For example:
- Sales teams can add their product roadmap and feature specs, competitor benchmarking analysis, customer audio interviews, and market research to NotebookLM Plus. As a result, it can help them prepare for customer meetings by creating an account plan to help their teams find information faster and better engage with customers.
- Marketers can use NotebookLM Plus to help summarize customer trends and purchase behaviors, draft communications, create campaign briefs, and more – all based on market research, customer segmentation analysis, and marketing roadmaps.
- Educational users can add their district’s strategy plan, education standards, lecture notes, and course readings to get real-time summaries, guided lesson plans, discussion questions, quizzes, and more. They can also generate Audio Overviews to take learning on the go and make content more accessible, digestible, and engaging.

NotebookLM Plus with enterprise-grade data protection is now available to businesses, schools, and universities as an Additional Service via Gemini for Google Workspace.
For users of NotebookLM Plus through Gemini for Google Workspace, enterprise-grade data protection ensures that their uploads, queries, and the model’s responses are not used to train models and are not reviewed by humans. Customer data remains their data and any files uploaded, queries, and responses are not shared outside their organization’s trust boundary.
Users can only upload sources from Google Workspace that they have permission to access. Furthermore, they can control who has access to their notebooks and set more granular permissions within each notebook. Notebooks can only be shared within their organization.
