Google has officially launched mobile apps for NotebookLM, its AI-powered note-taking and summarization tool, on both Android and iOS platforms. First introduced in 2023, NotebookLM leverages Google’s Gemini AI to help users manage and interact with their notes more intelligently and now, with the convenience of a mobile app, those capabilities are more accessible than ever.
The mobile version of NotebookLM allows users to upload documents, take notes, and have AI generate summaries, answer contextual questions, and even turn notes into AI-generated podcasts. This podcast feature is especially noteworthy, as it allows users to download and listen to customized audio recaps offline a perfect companion for commutes, workouts, or study sessions.
Upon launching the app, users are greeted with a clean, intuitive homepage that displays recent and shared notebooks. There is also a prominent option to create a new notebook, making it easy to start fresh projects or organize information on the go. Whether it’s lecture notes, research articles, or meeting summaries, NotebookLM intelligently scans content and enables dynamic interaction via Gemini AI.
