We recently learned that Google was prepping a new feature that would allow users to ask Gemini questions about their NotebookLM notebooks. Although Google still hasn’t made anything official, this feature now appears to be rolling out to users.

According to recent X posts from Sai Nemani and TestingCatalog, the attachment menu in Gemini on the web now includes a NotebookLM button. This option lets users attach a notebook and ask Gemini questions about the attached notebook to get more relevant responses.

TestingCatalog reports that the feature lets users attach multiple notebooks as sources. In addition, the NotebookLM integration works with Gemini Gems, meaning users can create custom AI assistants with expertise on the information in their NotebookLM notebooks.

Gemini’s NotebookLM integration begins rolling out on the web

At the moment, the NotebookLM integration appears to be limited to the web version of Gemini. The attachment button is not available in the Gemini for Android on any of our devices. Availability also seems limited overall, with several users reporting that the feature has yet to appear on their Google accounts.

Google may expand access in the coming days and eventually bring the NotebookLM attachment button to the Gemini app for mobile, but there’s no confirmation yet. An official announcement with more details could be right around the corner.

Over the last few weeks, Google has introduced several major upgrades for NotebookLM, including support for additional file types, such as Google Sheets, Drive files, images, PDFs, and Microsoft Word documents, along with a significantly larger context window, longer conversational memory, and improved response quality. The NotebookLM mobile app has also picked up several improvements, including support for flashcards and quizzes, as well as broader chat improvements that first rolled out on the web version.

Asus has started rolling out the 2026 ROG Strix G18 globally, and the easiest way to describe it is as a slightly toned-down version of the ridiculous ROG Strix Scar 18. It keeps the same 24-core Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus processor but tops out at an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU instead of the Scar’s RTX 5090. (via Notebookcheck)

Every app on my phone has decided I need AI, and none of them bothered to ask
AI assistants are invading everything from photo libraries to messaging apps, and dismissing them only seems to guarantee they’ll return later.
Electronics, Phone, Mobile Phone

My wife doesn’t use AI very much. She isn’t philosophically opposed to it, nor is she waiting for the machines to overthrow civilization. She simply opens Google Photos because she wants to look at her photos.

Lately, however, the app keeps greeting her with invitations to try its AI tools. Google would very much like her to search her library conversationally, generate something new, or ask Gemini to edit a photo. She dismisses the prompt, gets on with her life, and eventually meets it again.

Shopping for Back-to-school? These are the gaming laptops I’d recommend
Powerful enough for AAA games, practical enough for everyday lectures, assignments, and everything in between.

Every gamer knows the pain of trying to do too much with the wrong hardware. Back-to-School is the perfect excuse to fix that. A good gaming laptop shouldn’t just hit high frame rates -- it should also survive endless browser tabs, assignments, coding sessions, video edits, and everything else college throws at it. These five machines strike that balance better than most, which is exactly why they’d be my picks this semester.
