Pedagogical Features

Gemini Notebook allows students and researchers to interact directly with their own curated sources, reducing hallucinations and keeping focus squarely on specific course materials.

  • Teaching strategies: Faculty can upload a semester's worth of lecture notes and readings to create a custom, interactive study guide for their students.
  • Exemplary use-cases: A researcher can upload multiple PDFs of journal articles and ask Gemini Notebook to synthesize the contrasting viewpoints across the literature.

Access Gemini Notebook

Visit notebooklm.google.com using your Stanford Google account. 

This doesn't include the paid Google AI Pro for Education add-on (also known as "Gemini for Workspace"), which integrates AI directly into apps like Gmail, Docs, or Sheets. Stanford does not currently license that service.
