The honest take

Upload your own sources and get a research assistant that only answers from them — now rebranding to Gemini Notebook.

Best for: Students, researchers, and analysts who need grounded answers and audio summaries from their own documents

Where it falls short: Can't be bought on its own — higher limits require a full Google AI Plus/Pro/Ultra subscription, and July 2026's abrupt rename to Gemini Notebook adds confusion

What you actually get

Source-grounded chat
