Google Launches NotebookLM Mobile App For Android And iOS
Google has launched a new mobile app for its AI tool, NotebookLM. The app includes all the basic features and new features and is now available on both iOS and Android.
In a rush? Here are the quick facts:
- Google has launched the NotebookLM mobile app for Android and iOS.
- Users can now enjoy Audio Overviews on the go, even offline.
- The app lets users interact with AI-generated podcast hosts, ask questions, and suggest ideas.
According to the announcement, Google is offering the popular tool on the go, as many users requested it. The initial version offers multiple features, and the tech giant has offered to add more updates soon.
“One of the most frequent requests has been for a mobile app — for listening to Audio Overviews on the go, asking questions about sources in the moment, and sharing content directly to NotebookLM while browsing,” wrote Biao Wang, Product Manager at Google Labs. “Today, we’re happy to say it’s here, on both Android and iOS!”
Google first launched Audio Overview in NotebookLM last year in September with an experimental tool to create AI-generated podcasts with the information—documents, personal notes, and more— provided by users. The feature quickly gained popularity and was recently expanded to 50 more languages.
During the testing period, Google shared the new app with early testers who shared their favorite features. The company highlighted the option of listening to Audio Overviews offline without interruptions, and of interacting with the hosts by tapping on the “join” button on the screen and asking questions or suggesting another angle.
Users can also add new information—videos, websites, or PDFs—from their smartphones, and the company assured that more input options will come soon.
“Whether you’re a student, professional, or just someone who works with a lot of information, we think you’ll love having NotebookLM easily accessible on all your devices,” added Wang.
The app is now available on the App Store for iPhone and iPad running iOS 17 or later, and on the Play Store for phones and tablets with Android 10 or higher.
The announcement of the new application comes ahead of the Google I/O event, which begins in the coming hours.
