NotebookLM App Is Here: Smarter, Faster, and Built for Learning on the Go

NotebookLM Goes Mobile

Developed by Google, NotebookLM is an AI research assistant that turns complex information into clear, actionable knowledge. Already relied on by students, researchers, and creators, it helps users save time and work more intelligently with their own sources.

As of May 19, 2025, NotebookLM is now available as a native mobile app on iOS and Android, expanding beyond its original Progressive Web App (PWA) form. The app includes background playback, offline support, and an interface optimized for learning on the go.

Turn Sources into Insightful Summaries and Podcasts

NotebookLM lets users upload up to 50 sources—including PDFs, websites, YouTube videos, and plain text—and converts them into structured, searchable research notebooks. The AI draws only from the materials you provide, generating summaries, Q&A, and inline-cited answers that are both relevant and trustworthy.

Learn Your Own Way: Podcast-Style Audio Overviews

For auditory learners and multitaskers, NotebookLM features AI-hosted podcast-style audio discussions. Users can listen to key takeaways, ask follow-up questions, and even influence the flow of conversation—all in natural spoken language.

Create and Manage Smart Notebooks

Each notebook in NotebookLM is like a focused workspace. You can organize source materials around a theme, and the AI will connect ideas, explain concepts, and cite sources accurately. This ensures clarity and contextual learning, especially for deep topics.

Now Available on Android and iOS

With these capabilities now built into a native app, accessibility has taken a major leap forward. The new NotebookLM app is live on Google Play and the Apple App Store, with its subscription plan renamed from “Plus” to “Pro.” The PWA version remains active for those using browsers or desktops.

Smarter, Faster, and More Mobile Than Ever

NotebookLM’s mobile launch marks a turning point for modern learning. With offline access, background playback, and podcast-style content generation, users can now turn any moment—on the train, during a walk, or between meetings—into meaningful learning time.

Now running on Google’s Gemini 2.5 Flash, NotebookLM is not only faster, but smarter—able to tackle complex, multi-step reasoning with enhanced precision and speed. Whether you’re organizing sources, creating new content, or asking detailed questions, NotebookLM delivers intelligent support wherever you go.
