NotebookLM, the new face of Google AI, is gearing up to launch its official app on May 20, 2025
By ForGeeks This research tool, which has become popular for its unique podcasts created using artificial intelligence, will allow users to pre-register to download the Android or iOS version of the app. The app will be automatically installed on your device on its release date, coinciding with the start of the Google I/O 2025 conference.
According to the Play Store and App Store, Google plans to keep all the key features of the web version of NotebookLM in the mobile version. Users will be able to upload a variety of information sources – PDFs, website URLs, YouTube videos and copied text – and use Gemini-based NotebookLM to work with them. This could include answering specific questions, creating tutorials or creating audio reviews, previously referred to as “podcasts.
NotebookLM began as a Tailwind project at I/O 2023 and has gradually evolved from a research project to a full-fledged product. The service, called NotebookLM, officially launched in December 2023, and the audio reviews feature was added in September 2024. As of April 2025, NotebookLM supports more than 50 languages. The launch of the app is an important step forward and demonstrates that the service intends to remain relevant.

A key aspect of NotebookLM’s success is its reliability as an information management tool. The service provides inferences based on documents and sources you choose yourself. This means Google’s AI is less prone to errors and “hallucinations” because it directly cites research. Users can easily double-check answers because they have access to source material right in NotebookLM.
Google has already announced that the I/O 2025 conference will focus on Gemini and has put Android announcements in a separate category. This creates the possibility that NotebookLM won’t be the only AI-powered product to get attention on May 20. However, it remains to be seen whether Google has other ideas as interesting as “AI to analyze long PDFs.”
