## What the research found

| Topic | Status | Finding | Open question | Sources |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Plan | Public claim only | Gemini Notebook Enterprise (formerly NotebookLM Enterprise) runs in a Google Cloud project with VPC-SC, CMEK and data residency. Consumer Gemini Notebook (notebooklm.google / personal Google Account) is a different product: public sharing, no specified residency. Workspace Gemini Notebook for business is a third SKU. This profile is the Enterprise Cloud product. | Confirm we would deploy Gemini Notebook Enterprise in our Cloud project, not consumer NotebookLM. | [What is Gemini Notebook Enterprise?](https://docs.cloud.google.com/gemini/enterprise/notebooklm-enterprise/docs/overview); [Gemini Notebook consumer home](https://notebooklm.google/); [Gemini Notebook for business](https://workspace.google.com/products/gemini-notebook/) |
| Deployment | Public claim only | Enterprise: data stays in the customer's Google Cloud project; region-specific URL; Cloud Identity or SAML/OIDC IdP. Uploaded sources become a static copy in that project under Google Cloud terms. | Which region will the project use, and is CMEK on? | [What is Gemini Notebook Enterprise?](https://docs.cloud.google.com/gemini/enterprise/notebooklm-enterprise/docs/overview) |
| Features | Public claim only | Grounded Q&A over uploaded sources with citations to quotes. Audio/video overviews, mind maps, reports. Enterprise adds DOCX/PPTX/XLSX. Not a live DMS and not a case-law citator unless those files are uploaded. | Will we upload privileged PDFs into a Cloud project copy, and who can share notebooks inside the project? | [What is Gemini Notebook Enterprise?](https://docs.cloud.google.com/gemini/enterprise/notebooklm-enterprise/docs/overview); [Gemini Notebook consumer home](https://notebooklm.google/) |
| Australia | Public claim only | Enterprise residency follows Gemini Enterprise location commitments (documented separately). Consumer has none. AU region availability must be read from the locations page. | Is an Australian processing location available for Gemini Notebook Enterprise? | [What is Gemini Notebook Enterprise?](https://docs.cloud.google.com/gemini/enterprise/notebooklm-enterprise/docs/overview) |
| Pricing | Not confirmed | Sold as part of Gemini Enterprise / Google Cloud. No public per-notebook price captured. | Quote for Gemini Enterprise plus Notebook Enterprise seats/limits. | [What is Gemini Notebook Enterprise?](https://docs.cloud.google.com/gemini/enterprise/notebooklm-enterprise/docs/overview); [Gemini Notebook for business](https://workspace.google.com/products/gemini-notebook/) |
| Identity and Drive | Public claim only | Enterprise auth via Cloud Identity or Entra/Okta/SAML. Drive uploads create a static copy. No iManage connector on the overview page. | SSO with Entra and whether Drive originals remain the system of record. | [What is Gemini Notebook Enterprise?](https://docs.cloud.google.com/gemini/enterprise/notebooklm-enterprise/docs/overview) |
| Support | Not confirmed | Google Cloud support SKU. | Support SLA for Notebook Enterprise? | [What is Gemini Notebook Enterprise?](https://docs.cloud.google.com/gemini/enterprise/notebooklm-enterprise/docs/overview) |
| Quality | Public claim only | Citations to uploaded sources. Consumer marketing: 'see the source'. Hallucination still possible if the model generalises beyond sources. | How does it behave when the answer is not in the sources? | [What is Gemini Notebook Enterprise?](https://docs.cloud.google.com/gemini/enterprise/notebooklm-enterprise/docs/overview); [Gemini Notebook consumer home](https://notebooklm.google/) |
| Task fit | Not confirmed | Fit for closed-set summarisation of a known document pack. Audio overviews of privileged files are a disclosure/recording issue. Not for Australian case research unless sources are uploaded. | Which document packs, and is Audio Overview disabled for matter files? | [What is Gemini Notebook Enterprise?](https://docs.cloud.google.com/gemini/enterprise/notebooklm-enterprise/docs/overview) |
| Sharing | Public claim only | Enterprise notebooks cannot be shared publicly; only within the Cloud project. Consumer notebooks can be shared publicly — do not use consumer. | Confirm public sharing is impossible on our Enterprise project. | [What is Gemini Notebook Enterprise?](https://docs.cloud.google.com/gemini/enterprise/notebooklm-enterprise/docs/overview) |
| Model provider | Public claim only | Gemini models.

| Training | Public claim only | Workspace Privacy Hub: prompts are customer data under the Cloud DPA; Workspace does not use customer data to train generative AI models without prior permission (Training Restriction in Workspace Service Specific Terms). Independent auditors cited (SOC, ISO 42001). Consumer NotebookLM is not covered by that Workspace commitment. | Confirm the Cloud DPA Training Restriction applies to Gemini Notebook Enterprise in our project. | [Generative AI in Google Workspace Privacy Hub](https://knowledge.workspace.google.com/admin/generative-ai/generative-ai-in-google-workspace-privacy-hub); [What is Gemini Notebook Enterprise?](https://docs.cloud.google.com/gemini/enterprise/notebooklm-enterprise/docs/overview) |
| Feedback | Public claim only | Workspace hub: feedback improves products per Cloud Privacy Notice but is not used to train the generative models supporting Workspace Gemini services.

## Notes

Consumer vs Enterprise distinction is critical. Locations table not scraped in full. Audio Overview sharing rules differ by SKU.
