Today, Google announced a new advantage for Google One AI Premium plan subscribers. Along with several premium benefits across Google, these users will have access to NotebookLM Plus, which offers 5x higher usage limitations than free users. This step could help Google attract more users to its Google One AI Premium plan.

NotebookLM is a research tool from Google that went viral late last year. It allowed users to upload any content, summarize it, ask questions, and convert it into a podcast-style audio discussion.

NotebookLM Plus provides users with more than five times more Audio Overviews, notebooks, and sources per laptop, the ability to customize the style and length of notebook responses, the ability to share a notebook with friends or family members with usage analytics, and more.

NotebookLM Plus is already available for businesses, schools, and enterprises through Google Workspace. Now, Google One AI Premium plan subscribers can enjoy NotebookLM Plus for free with no extra charges or increase in plan price.

For students, Google is announcing a 50% discount to make the Google One AI Premium plan more economical. For 12 months, students in the US who are 18 and older can get an AI premium plan for their personal Google account at $9.99/month.

In addition to notebookLM Plus, the Google One AI Premium plan offers 2 TB of storage, Gemini access in Google Workspace apps including Gmail and Google Docs, Gemini Advanced with access to Google’s most capable AI models, unlimited Magic Editor saves in Google Photos, and more. Google also promises to provide priority access to its future innovations to AI Premium plan users.

Recently, Google declared that the Gemini 2.0 Flash model is becoming the default model for all Gemini app users on the web and mobile. The Gemini 2.0 Flash model surpasses the Gemini 1.5 Pro model on key benchmarks and is twice as fast. With these initiatives, Google is making its AI-driven tools and services more accessible and affordable for users.
