Google announced during its 2025 I/O developer conference that its popular conversational AI application, NotebookLM, is now available on mobile platforms, including Google Play and Apple App Stores. This move comes after strong demand from users who wanted to access the app beyond the desktop. The mobile version offers features such as offline playback of AI-generated podcast discussions and background playback for multitasking.
The NotebookLM mobile app introduces a new level of interactivity with AI hosts, allowing users to ask questions, redirect the summary flow, and request light-hearted content during playback. Additionally, users can easily share content from websites, PDFs, or YouTube videos directly to NotebookLM via their phone’s native share menu. The app supports various input types and promises ongoing improvements based on user feedback.
For enterprise users, NotebookLM is evolving into a powerful tool for research, collaboration, and knowledge management. With features like expanded capacity, collaboration tools, usage analytics, and integration readiness, NotebookLM Plus is tailored for professional-grade applications. The app’s RAG (retrieval-augmented generation) model allows teams to create centralized knowledge bases and streamline information retrieval in knowledge-heavy functions.
Privacy and control are emphasized in professional environments, with assurances that NotebookLM does not use personal data to train models. Early adopters in the startup and venture capital sectors have already integrated NotebookLM into their workflows, using it as a replacement for traditional CRMs or internal wikis. As NotebookLM continues to evolve, its business-tier capabilities align with modern teams’ productivity and compliance needs.
