Google is rolling out a redesigned Gemini Notebook with real-time voice conversations, mobile audio recording, and interactive learning overviews aimed at students. The update builds on the service’s role as a single place to gather trusted information, organize thoughts and develop ideas, while adding tools designed to make study sessions more personal and focused.

Real-time conversations are coming soon to the Gemini Notebook mobile app on Android and iOS in nearly 100 languages. Students will be able to speak with a notebook, ask questions, receive step-by-step guidance, and interrupt at any time. Every response will remain grounded in the sources added to that notebook, keeping spoken explanations tied to a user’s own materials.

Starting next week, a new recorder in the mobile app will let users capture lectures and record their thoughts on the go. Gemini Notebook already accepts photos of handwritten notes, worksheets, and other study materials. Recorded notes will sit directly alongside those sources, where users can chat about them, cite them, edit them and build on them later.

Under [Reports](https://www.testingcatalog.com/early-look-at-interactive-reports-on-gemini-notebook/), users can create interactive learning overviews that combine summaries with studio outputs such as infographics, quizzes, and flashcards. More quiz formats are also on the way, including short answer, multiple select, and fill-in-the-blank. After completing quizzes or flashcards, students can ask notebook chat about their performance to identify topics that need more attention. They can also add or edit questions for custom practice.

Gemini Notebook is also adding Short Video Overviews in more than 80 languages. The roughly 60-second videos pair narrative overviews with educational animations to explain complex formulas, diagrams, and scientific concepts, and users can share them with classmates or others.

The rollout includes student offers with higher usage limits. College students in the U.S. can claim one year of Google AI Pro at no charge, a plan valued at $19.99 per month that provides four times the Gemini Notebook usage limits. Eligible college students in more than 140 markets outside the U.S. can receive one year of Google AI Plus at no charge, with twice the usage limits.
