You may pre-register for the Android or iOS model of the app proper now and have it robotically downloaded to your gadget on Might 20, the primary day of Google I/O 2025.
Based mostly on the listings within the Play Retailer and App Retailer, Google appears intent on holding all the core performance of the net model of NotebookLM intact for its cell debut. You may add quite a lot of totally different sources (PDFs, web site URLs, YouTube movies and copied textual content) and have NotebookLM, powered by Gemini, do stuff with them.

It stays to be seen whether or not Google has any concepts as cogent as "an AI that helps you digest lengthy PDFs," although.
