On July 16, 2026 Google renamed NotebookLM to Gemini Notebook — same standalone research notebook, now with a secure cloud computer and Gemini-app sync. BibiGPT still targets exportable summaries of public video and audio (Bilibili, YouTube, podcasts, livestreams, local uploads). Use this guide to pick one — or stack both.
Choose BibiGPT if you need exportable AI summaries of public videos, podcasts, livestreams or local files from Bilibili, YouTube and other platforms. Choose Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM) if you work inside a Google document notebook: upload sources, ask grounded questions, run code in a secure cloud computer, and generate audio or video overviews. They complement rather than replace each other.
BibiGPT and Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM) serve different research workflows. Pick by what you actually consume and produce.
BibiGPT ingests Bilibili, YouTube, TikTok, Douyin, Xiaohongshu, podcasts, livestreams and local files. Gemini Notebook leans on documents, PDFs, Google Docs and sources you add to a notebook.
BibiGPT ships zh/en/ja/ko/zh-TW product UI with summaries you can export. Gemini Notebook is strongest inside Google's notebook workflow and expanding language support for overviews.
BibiGPT has Chrome/Edge/Firefox extensions plus a public agent-tool API. Gemini Notebook is web + Gemini app + mobile; a consumer public API is not available (Enterprise API exists for Google Cloud).
Compare free tiers, individual plans, and enterprise packages so you only pay for what you need.
BibiGPT includes 3 AI summaries/day with core features free. Gemini Notebook is free with a personal Google account, with notebook and query limits on the Standard plan.
BibiGPT Plus at $19.8/mo and Pro at $34.8/mo. Higher Gemini Notebook limits bundle under Google AI Pro at $19.99/mo (and AI Ultra for the cloud computer first).
BibiGPT offers custom pricing with API bulk and private-deploy consulting. Gemini Notebook bundles with Google Workspace and Gemini Notebook Enterprise on Google Cloud.
Many power users run both. BibiGPT summarizes public video and audio; Gemini Notebook goes deep on sources you already collected.
One-click summaries of videos, podcasts and articles across platforms — with multilingual output and export to Markdown, Notion or Obsidian.
Upload PDFs and docs, then use grounded Q&A, audio overviews, Video Overviews (including Short ~60s vertical), charts, slides, and a secure cloud computer for code.
Export Markdown from BibiGPT, import as a Gemini Notebook source — still the favourite hybrid workflow after the July 2026 rename.
Rows highlighted where BibiGPT has a differentiated advantage over Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM). Updated after the July 16, 2026 rename.
| Dimension | BibiGPT | Gemini Notebook |
|---|---|---|
| Content sources | Bilibili / YouTube / TikTok / Douyin / Kuaishou / Xiaohongshu / podcasts / livestreams + local files + URLs | User-uploaded docs, PDFs, Google Docs, YouTube links, and other sources you add to a notebook |
| Output formats | Summaries / transcripts / mind maps / article rewriting / PPT / narrated video / social graphics — exportable | Notes / Q&A / Audio Overviews / Video Overviews (Explainer, Brief, Short ~60s vertical) / charts / spreadsheets / slides |
| In-notebook compute | No in-notebook code runner — focus is summarize and export | Secure cloud computer writes and runs code on your sources (Ultra / qualifying Workspace now; Pro web rolling out) |
| AI models | Multiple leading AI models you can switch in the product | Google Gemini |
| Language & markets | zh / en / ja / ko / zh-TW product UI; strong Chinese-platform coverage | Google notebook workflow; Video Overview language options expanding — not a Bilibili/Douyin capture tool |
| Collaboration & export | Pro shared workspaces + Notion / Obsidian / Markdown export | Native Google Drive collaboration + Gemini-app notebook sync |
| API / agent integration | bibigpt-skill (Agent tool) + REST API | No consumer public API; Gemini Notebook Enterprise API on Google Cloud |
| Apps & extensions | Web + Chrome / Edge / Firefox extension + mobile + desktop | Web + Gemini app + mobile (not web-only after 2026) |
Match your primary workflow to avoid choosing the wrong tool.
Gemini Notebook cannot one-click ingest Bilibili, Douyin or Xiaohongshu links the way BibiGPT does. If you live on public video and podcast URLs and need multilingual exportable summaries plus Notion / Obsidian sync, BibiGPT is the better fit.
Feeding your own long-form docs, research packs and meeting files into Gemini Notebook for multi-document Q&A, Audio/Video Overviews and in-notebook code is its home turf. If the material already lives in Google Drive and you do not need cross-web video capture, Gemini Notebook fits better.
Recommended: use BibiGPT to summarize videos and podcasts into Markdown, then import those notes into Gemini Notebook for cross-document research, overviews or code. BibiGPT solves "where to get the content"; Gemini Notebook solves "how to go deep on content you already have."

It is the same standalone research product, not a replacement app. Existing notebooks remain accessible, and notebooklm.google links continue to work. The new name reflects deeper Gemini-app sync and a secure cloud computer that can write and run code on your sources.
It is a per-notebook environment Google began rolling out in June 2026 so Gemini Notebook can write and execute code grounded in uploaded sources, then produce charts, spreadsheets and slide decks. As of July 16, 2026 it is available to Google AI Ultra and qualifying Workspace customers, with Pro web access rolling out afterward.
