Read 2026-11-04. Source: https://agentreadycrawlers.com/crawlers/google-gemininotebook Site: Agent Ready Crawlers Last reviewed: 2026-11-04 Live answer fetcher from Google # Google-GeminiNotebook (was Google-NotebookLM) In short Google-GeminiNotebook (was Google-NotebookLM) is Google's live answer fetcher. Google-GeminiNotebook has no robots.txt token, so robots.txt cannot address it and the crawl cannot measure a block rate. Check a visitor against the operator's published IP list. The former Google-NotebookLM agent string was supported until August 2026, per Google (page last updated 2026-08-19). Google-GeminiNotebook generally ignores robots.txt, per Google. Operator [Google](https://agentreadycrawlers.com/crawlers/operator/google/) Vendor profile: [Google](https://agentreadycrawlers.com/vendors/google/) Purpose Live answer fetch [All live answer fetch rows](https://agentreadycrawlers.com/crawlers/purpose/live-answer-fetch/). Fetches a page because a person asked an assistant about it, one request at a time. User-agent string `Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/137.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 (compatible; Google-GeminiNotebook; +https://developers.google.com/crawling/docs/crawlers-fetchers/google-gemininotebook)` robots.txt token None. No robots.txt line can address this agent. Respects robots.txt May not apply (user-triggered) User-triggered fetcher: generally ignores robots.txt, per Google. [Source](https://developers.google.com/crawling/docs/crawlers-fetchers/google-user-triggered-fetchers), read 2026-11-04. Verification Published IP list (JSON) Match the source address of a request against the operator's published list. [Documentation](https://developers.google.com/static/search/apis/ipranges/user-triggered-fetchers-google.json), read 2026-11-04. IP ranges [developers.google.com/static/search/apis/ipranges/user-triggered-fetchers-google.json](https://developers.google.com/static/search/apis/ipranges/user-triggered-fetchers-google.json) Rate behaviour Fetches individual URLs a user adds as sources. Block rate None: the agent has no token, so a robots.txt block rate does not exist. Documentation [developers.google.com](https://developers.google.com/crawling/docs/crawlers-fetchers/google-user-triggered-fetchers), read 2026-11-04. Note. The former Google-NotebookLM agent string was supported until August 2026, per Google (page last updated 2026-08-19). ## Allow and refuse lines This agent has no robots.txt token, so there are no lines to copy. Use the verification method above to decide at the WAF. Refusing or allowing in robots.txt states a preference. For this row the operator or its documentation says robots.txt may not govern the fetch, so enforcement belongs in your WAF. ## Google in the Verification Ledger Five IP lists, reverse DNS for every class, and an experimental key directory for Google-Agent. Nothing for auto browse in the user's Chrome. [All operators](https://agentreadycrawlers.com/verification/).
