Why do apps get renamed?
Companies often rename apps to align them with broader product strategies or to reflect new features. NotebookLM becoming Gemini Notebook, as the story highlights, links it directly to Google's overarching Gemini AI brand. This helps create a unified identity across their AI offerings and makes it clearer to users how different products connect.
