100-word summary
Google just gave Gemini what every AI chatbot lacks: the ability to remember your projects across sessions. Notebooks, rolling out this week to paid subscribers, group related chats and files into persistent workspaces. Drop in PDFs and custom instructions, and Gemini maintains context between conversations instead of starting fresh each time. The twist? Notebooks sync bidirectionally with NotebookLM, so sources added in one app instantly appear in the other. It's Google's bet that the future of AI tools isn't standalone chatbots but interconnected workspaces that follow your work across products. Web only for now, mobile coming soon.
