Google’s AI-powered note-taking tool, NotebookLM, will soon be available as an app on both Android and iOS. Store listings reveal the mobile version will launch on May 20, making it accessible for users wanting to manage notes and conduct research from their smartphones. Since its original release in 2023, NotebookLM has operated solely as a desktop experience focused on helping users break down and understand difficult material. The tool targets students, researchers, and professionals looking to generate smart summaries and ask follow-up questions about their documents.
Mobile Apps Expand NotebookLM Access
With the upcoming mobile release, users can create new notebooks, access existing ones, and upload sources directly from their devices. The app will also support Audio Overviews, allowing people to listen to AI-generated podcasts summarizing complex subjects wherever they are. These features aim to simplify complicated topics and offer real-time assistance in a portable format. Tablet compatibility, including for iPads, means multitasking will be easier with extra screen space.
Preorder options are already open on the App Store and Google Play, giving eager users the chance to automatically download the app as soon as it goes live. The timing coincides with the opening day of Google’s annual developer conference, Google I/O, indicating further announcements may come soon.
