Google is rolling out several new features for Gemini Notebook, expanding its tools for students and learners across the web and mobile apps. The update introduces lecture recording, voice conversations with notebooks and more personalised study materials. Google said the features will be released over the coming weeks, alongside expanded quiz options and broader language support for Short Video Overviews.
The Gemini Notebook mobile apps will receive an audio recorder that allows users to capture lectures, personal thoughts and other spoken material directly within their notebooks. Recordings will appear alongside other sources and can be edited, cited and referenced during notebook chats. The company said the feature is designed to make recorded information easier to organise and incorporate into study sessions.
Google is also introducing voice chat for Gemini Notebook on mobile, allowing users to ask questions and receive step-by-step assistance based on the sources stored in their notebooks. The feature will support nearly 100 languages and will allow users to interrupt while the conversation is taking place. Voice chat is initially rolling out to Google AI Ultra subscribers aged 18 and above, with availability expected to expand to Google AI Pro subscribers and other users.
