If you’re not yet using Google’s fantastic NotebookLM research assistant, what are you waiting for? The AI tool isn’t just for academics, and the way it can digest reams of information and quickly answer questions makes it useful for tons of stuff in daily life, like reading product manuals so you don’t have to. If you like the idea of NotebookLM, at least, and have just been waiting for a better mobile version of it, you may be in luck, as Google confirms that a NotebookLM app is on the way.
NotebookLM debuted as a web-based tool, and it takes full advantage of big PC displays with its expansive three-panel layout: all your source material on the left, the chat panel in the middle for interacting with the service’s LLM, and studio on the right for setting up your outputs.
