Google has officially launched the mobile app for NotebookLM, its AI-powered research assistant, during its I/O developer conference. This release expands access to mobile users via the App Stores, marking the product’s shift from a limited beta to broader availability. The app mirrors the web-based functionality while emphasizing an audio-first experience, allowing users to understand information on the go.
The NotebookLM mobile app's main screen displays a list of projects with filter options and a built-in audio interface. Notably, it enables audio overviews, AI-generated podcast-style summaries, to be played directly from the list view without needing to open a project. A quick action button allows users to generate audio if one isn’t already present, making the app feel more like a media player. This setup suggests that casual, passive consumption of content is part of the intended use.
The interface inside a project closely reflects the web layout, splitting functionality across Sources, Chat, and Interactive Assets, including Notes, Audio Overviews, and Mind Maps. The app also supports Interactive Mode in audio sessions, where users can raise hands to ask questions mid-playback, introducing an element of live dialogue. Although the app already supports the creation of new notebooks and source uploads, its standout focus appears to be on consuming and interacting with audio content. This rollout underscores Google’s evolving strategy for NotebookLM, transitioning from a pure productivity assistant to a multimodal content platform, potentially appealing to students, researchers, and content creators seeking flexible ways to absorb structured knowledge without being tethered to a desktop.
