Google adds NotebookLM Plus to AI Premium plan
Google has announced that NotebookLM Plus, a research and thinking companion tool, is now available as part of the Google One AI Premium subscription. NotebookLM Plus is designed to help users make the most of their information by allowing them to upload material, summarize content, ask questions, and transform it into engaging formats such as podcast-style audio discussions.
Starting today, the Google One AI Premium plan includes advanced features with higher usage limits for more customized research. This provides added value to existing benefits such as Gemini Advanced, Gemini integration in Gmail and Docs, along with 2 TB of storage, all at the same price.
Introducing a Student Discount
Google aims to make this plan more affordable for students by introducing a new 50% student discount. For 12 months, U.S. students aged 18 and older can access the AI Premium plan for $9.99 per month. The student discount is designed to help them work with more course materials, create custom study aids using Gemini Advanced, save time on emails, and more. Students can verify their eligibility and sign up for the discount to explore the full potential of Google AI tools. For more details and updates, you can visit the official Google blog.
NotebookLM Plus offers enhanced customization, audio features, and simplified information management, specifically designed to aid students dealing with extensive amounts of information. This platform makes sharing and managing notebooks more straightforward, bolstering productivity for both academic and professional tasks.
Enhanced Customization for Students
Previously, the suite was only accessible to business, education, and enterprise professionals using specific Google Cloud and Google Workspace account tiers. However, with this new announcement, anyone can use the complete range of Gemini Advanced-powered tools for $20 per month. Students, who often have limited budgets, can subscribe to this tier for just $10 per month with a year-long subscription.
Benefits of the AI Premium Plan
In addition to the powerful tools of Gemini Advanced, subscribers will receive 2TB of cloud storage — typically $10 per month after a two-month promotional period. This makes the new, discounted AI Premium plan a practical and economical choice for students needing extensive storage and advanced AI tools for organizing, summarizing, and transforming their work. This upgrade demonstrates Google’s commitment to expanding its AI toolkit to accommodate educational needs, making it a compelling option for students looking to enhance their academic productivity.
The subscription to Google’s ever-expanding Gemini Advanced toolkit provides a wide array of functionalities that integrate seamlessly with other Google services such as Drive and Docs, showcasing Google’s intention to innovate and support academic excellence.
