Notebooklm, the Google search tool that has gained notoriety for its strange podcasts generated by AI, obtains an official application on May 20, 2025. You can pre-register for the Android Or iOS Application version now and automatically download it on your device on May 20, the first day of Google I / O 2025.
Based on the announcements in the Play Store and the App Store, Google seems determined to keep all the basic features of the Notebooklm intact web version for its mobile beginnings. You can download a variety of different sources (PDF, website URL, YouTube videos and copied text) and have an iron book, powered by Gemini, do things with them. This could answer specific questions, generate study guides or create an audio overview, the “podcasts” mentioned above.
Notebooklm started his life as a Tailwind project at E / S 2023 and has gradually passed from the research project to the real product over time. The service was officially launched as a notebooklm in December 2023 and obtained audio previews in September 2024. In April 2025, Notebooklm is now offered In more than 50 languages. Getting a real version of the application is the best sign, the service is there to stay.
Critique for its success, Notebooklm is more logical as a tool in which you can trust that essentially any other Gemini product. The release of the service is based on documents and sources you choose. This means that Google AI is less likely to hallucinate because it directly quotes a search study, and it is easier to double its answers because you can display the source directly in Notebooklm.
Google has already pointed out that E / S 2025 will be focused on Gemini by bursting Android announcements in their own flow, so there is a good chance that the notebook will not be the only product of AI to obtain a little love on May 20. It remains to be seen if Google has ideas as cogerent as “an AI that helps you digest long PDFs”, however.
