Google-GeminiNotebookGoogle says the Gemini Notebook fetcher requests individual URLs that Gemini Notebook users have provided as sources for their projects. The user-triggered fetchers section says these fetchers generally ignore robots.txt rules because a user requested the fetch. The page publishes mobile and desktop HTTP user-agent strings and does not print a separate robots.txt User-agent line. The same section lists Google-NotebookLM as a former agent supported until August 2026. This card does not include that string.
