NotebookLM Plus Now Available in Google One AI Premium Subscription

[MacRumors]

Google has announced that NotebookLM Plus, its advanced AI-powered research and note-taking tool, is now included with Google One AI Premium subscriptions at no additional cost to consumers.

If you haven't come across it before, NotebookLM functions as an AI research companion that helps users analyze and interact with their documents, websites, and other content. The tool can generate summaries, create FAQ lists, produce timeline views, and even transform research materials into podcast-style audio discussions with AI-generated hosts. Google originally launched it in 2023, and then launched its NotebookLM Plus plan for businesses, schools, organizations, and enterprise customers in December.

The Plus version significantly expands on the free tier's capabilities, offering five times higher usage limits. The free version allows for 100 notebooks with 50 sources each, while Plus subscribers can create up to 500 notebooks containing 300 sources per notebook. Daily interaction limits are also increased from 50 to 500 chat queries, and audio generation capacity jumps from 3 to 20 per day.

In addition to the above, NotebookLM Plus introduces several premium features, including customizable response styles, advanced sharing options, and analytics that track notebook usage. Users can choose between predefined AI personalities like "Guide" or "Analyst," or create their own custom style for interactions.

A Google One AI Premium plan costs $19.99 per month and includes 2TB of storage along with access to Gemini Advanced and Gemini integration in Gmail and Google Docs. A one-month trial is available at no cost. Google is also offering U.S. students aged 18 and older a 50% discount, bringing the monthly cost down to $9.99 for the first year.

To anyone interested in trying Google Gemini and/or the Google One Ai subscription, keep your money. I was floored by how far behind it is to both ChatGPT and/or Claude. It’s censored from answering any political questions - even innocuous ones like, “what political party is Olaf Scholz the leader of?” - and on multiple occasions it would answer a basic question with a question, eg. “what kind of pizza has the sauce on top of the cheese?” - Gemini's answer: “That sounds like a unique pizza. Do you know if you saw it at a restaurant or online?” Terrible.

So, what's the answer? It sounds like a unique pizza 😁

What on earth are you talking about? Let's see how it disputes your examples (and also let it analyze your emotions)

Gemini is awesome ,especially flash thinking (don't use it via the web, use aistudio or though API)

Also, NotebookLM is the best thing ever, maybe use it first?

I love this tool. It’s insanely useful for creating little audio summaries to listen to when I’m walking.

That service sounds intriguing as a writer but it's useless unless they guarantee they don’t train on user data. Doubt that's the case though.

NotebookLM does not train on your data

Maybe Siri can have a conversation with it. The conversation would be great as Siri will respond with "Here's what I found on the web." I'm sure Siri will be told to take some notes and do its research. /s

Just curious, how long ago did you try those prompts? The tech is moving so fast that most anecdata you collect gets old in a matter of months, if not weeks.

I actually tested NoteBookLM a few months back to write a small historical bio of someone from my hometown. I opened a notebook uploaded around 50 OCR'd newspaper clippings, press releases, and a PDF of the familysearch/ancestry documents on the person. I asked it to write a small bio and I thought it did a great job. I could see this being immensely useful for someone who can upload their own data and wants to query it.

NotebookLM is excellent, but it seems identical in function to OpenAI projects. (I upload documents and then have a discussion about them.) Other than being able to produce audio summaries, have others found significant differences between them?

I know for the example I used about NotebookLM I could upload 50 documents. I think (at the time) ChatGPT and others had a lower limit and that’s why I went with NotebookLM.

NotebookLM is super cool, but I still prefer Claude's output for most things. The only disadvantage of Claude is Anthropic's rate limiting.

You can upload up to 50 sources of yours in the free plan (I even uploaded my Silo trilogy pdfs that are thousand of pages - photographic pdfs, not text, didn't even sweat), and that could also be audio, video, webpages altogether. It's a very powerful tool. It uses Gemini 2. Many use it as a personal or small business database.

Wait until you see what happens when ask those cheese pizza questions to ChatGPT inside GitHub Copilot

is there a way to send any OpenAI project 50 files/txt/pdf ?

I had the EXACT same issue. I couldn't even get it to list the US presidents in order. Not attached, but it wouldn't even give me the full list of presidential rankings that historians do yearly....even though it's publicly online. It would skip random presidents. Even when I GAVE it the link to the list, it kept giving me an incomplete list, leaving out random presidents in the middle and the most recent 2 presidents. Makes me concerned to use NotebookLM...
