Using Gemini Notebook as a Keep replacement for research notes

Google recently added the @Gemini Notebook connector to Gemini, allowing users to create, edit, and retrieve notebook entries directly from Gemini chat prompts. The connector enables a workflow where research notes saved during Gemini conversations can be managed without switching apps, and those notes become contextually available in future chats.

Key points

• The @Gemini Notebook connector lets you create and edit notebooks by typing @Gemini Notebook before your prompt in Gemini chat
• Notes saved in Gemini Notebook can be referenced during conversations—Gemini can answer questions using a specific notebook as context
• Gemini can generate outputs from notebook content: AI videos, podcasts, quizzes, mind maps, and Slide Decks
• Prompts can show all sources in a notebook on a particular topic, or edit and delete notebooks without opening the standalone Notebook app
• The connector is available for personal Google account holders, not just workspace users

How to use it

• During a Gemini chat session, write a prompt with @Gemini Notebook to save information directly to a notebook instead of using the @Google Keep connector
• When researching a topic similar to a saved notebook, ask Gemini to answer questions using that notebook as context by specifying it in your prompt
• Use prompts to retrieve sources on a specific topic from your notebooks, or to generate derivative content like podcasts or slide decks from notebook entries
• Edit or delete notebooks via prompt without opening the Gemini Notebook web client or app

Has anyone switched from Keep to Gemini Notebook for certain types of notes?
