Google’s NotebookLM Android and iOS apps are set to be launched on May 20, as indicated by the app store listings. The apps are currently available for pre-order.
Since its debut in 2023, the AI-powered note-taking and research assistant has only been accessible on desktop. Google is now preparing to make the service available on mobile devices.
NotebookLM is aimed at helping students, professionals, and researchers better comprehend complex information through features like smart summaries and the ability to ask questions about documents and other materials. The research assistant also allows users to create AI podcasts, known as Audio Overviews, to simplify the understanding of intricate subjects.
According to the screenshots on the app listings, the dedicated apps will enable users to create new notebooks, view the ones they have already created, upload new sources from their device, and listen to the Audio Overviews on the go. The apps will also be compatible with iPads and tablets, providing a larger screen for multitasking.
You can opt to pre-order the app on the App Store or pre-register for it on Google Play to have the app automatically downloaded onto your phone on May 20. With the apps set to be launched on the first day of Google I/O, more information about them will likely be shared at the annual conference in a few weeks.
