Is NotebookLM now called Gemini Notebook?

Yes. On July 16, 2026, Google renamed NotebookLM to Gemini Notebook. It's the same standalone research product — sources, source-grounded chat, and AI-generated notes — now branded under the Gemini family, with tighter integration into the Gemini app and, per Google, AI Mode in Search. Existing notebooks carry over, and everything on this page applies to the tool under either name.

Is Loomscribe affiliated with Google or NotebookLM?

No. Loomscribe is an independent product and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Google or NotebookLM. NotebookLM is a Google product; Loomscribe simply offers a similar source-grounded workflow that is purpose-built for Loom recordings.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. Loomscribe has a free plan you can start without a credit card, plus a free transcript tool that needs no account at all. Premium capabilities like AI dubbing and translation are on the Pro plan.

How do I chat with my Loom videos?

Add your Loom recordings to a notebook by pasting their share links, then open the chat panel and ask questions in plain language. Loomscribe retrieves the relevant moments from your transcripts and answers with citations, so responses stay grounded in what was actually said.

What's the difference between NotebookLM and Loomscribe?

NotebookLM is a general research and note-taking assistant designed for sources like documents, PDFs, and web pages. Loomscribe applies the same idea — sources, source-grounded chat, and AI-generated notes — but is purpose-built around Loom videos, from transcript extraction and speaker labels to action items, a mind map, and AI dubbing.

Do I need a paid Loom subscription to use Loomscribe?

No. Loomscribe works from a public or unlisted Loom share link — you don't need a paid Loom plan, and you don't even need a Loom login for public links. Paste the URL and Loomscribe handles transcript extraction, summaries, topics, and chat.

Heads up: on July 16, 2026, Google renamed NotebookLM to Gemini Notebook — same product, new name. Everything on this page still applies; if you're searching under the new name, see our companion Gemini Notebook for Loom guide for what the rename changed.

If you've used NotebookLM to chat with your documents and PDFs and wished you could do the same with your Loom recordings, that's exactly what Loomscribe does. People increasingly ask AI assistants “can NotebookLM summarize a Loom video?” The honest answer: NotebookLM is designed for research sources like documents and web pages — it isn't built around Loom's share-link workflow. Loomscribe is.

Paste a Loom share link and Loomscribe extracts the transcript, labels the speakers, and generates a summary, action items, and key topics — then lets you chat with the recording, grounded in what was actually said. It's the same “sources, chat, and notes” experience, made for video instead of documents.

Loomscribe is not affiliated with Google or NotebookLM. It's an independent product that happens to mirror the same source-grounded workflow, built from the ground up for Loom recordings — including Loom-native extras like speaker labels and AI dubbing.

✦ The workflow

How Loomscribe mirrors the NotebookLM workflow

Same three-panel idea — Sources, Chat, and Artifacts — mapped onto your Loom recordings.

Sources — your Loom recordings

Paste a Loom share link and it becomes a source in your notebook. Loomscribe extracts the transcript, labels the speakers, and keeps every recording together in one library — the way a research notebook organizes documents and web pages.

Chat — source-grounded answers

Ask questions in plain language and get answers grounded in your recordings' transcripts, with the moments they came from. Retrieval keeps responses tied to what was actually said instead of guessing beyond your sources.

Artifacts — summaries, action items, topics, mind map

Every notebook auto-generates a summary, a list of action items, the key topics discussed, and a mind map that connects them — so you can skim what a recording covers without watching all of it.
