Google brings Gemini's smartest feature to everyone
Credit: Lucas Gouveia / Android Police | Tirachard Kumtanom / Shutterstock Published May 1, 2026, 12:57 AM EDT I've been writing about Android since 2011, with a focus on device reviews, Samsung and Google Pixel hardware, and the latest happenings in the ecosystem.

Do note that paid Google AI subscribers can add more sources to their notebooks than those on the free tier. The free plan is limited to 50 sources per notebook, while AI subscribers can add between 100 and 600 sources, depending on the plan. Think of notebooks in Gemini as folders for your conversations, but smarter. Apart from helping you organize your conversations, you can add relevant files and documents to a notebook for additional context. If you heavily use Gemini for research purposes, you can put all related conversations and documents inside a notebook. That way, it will become a centralized hub for that specific project. Additionally, notebooks in Gemini sync with NotebookLM as well (and vice versa). This way, you can use Gemini to do all the heavy lifting for a project and then switch to NotebookLM for furt...
