Gemini in Google Docs can now draw on your Gemini Notebook notebooks while you draft, in a beta a Workspace admin has to turn on.

  • When prompting Gemini in Docs, you can select a notebook as context, so its answers draw on the sources you curated there
  • Notebooks sit alongside the other context Gemini in Docs already uses: your Drive files, Gmail, Chat, and the web
  • Part of the Google Workspace with Gemini beta program, which is off by default and must be enabled by an administrator
