Google has released its popular AI research assistant, NotebookLM, as a standalone Android app. The tool is designed to help users better understand any topic by analyzing data from various sources, including PDF files, articles, YouTube videos, and Google Docs. Users can upload their own research or lecture recordings to break down complex concepts into simple terms.
The app offers several usage examples, such as creating polished presentation outlines with key talking points and supporting evidence, identifying current trends through market research data and competitor analysis, and discovering new product ideas from brainstorming notes and research papers.
To use NotebookLM, users open a new notebook, add their files, links, and documents, and receive a summary that takes information from all sources. The summary can be presented in various styles, including written, audio, or even a fake podcast session with hosts bantering back and forth about the topic.
However, Google warns that NotebookLM may not always provide accurate results, and users should approach the tool’s outputs with caution. Despite this limitation, the Android app offers a convenient way for users to access the AI research assistant on-the-go.
