On the Google Play Store, the NotebookLM app offers a "Pre-register" option. According to the Apple App Store listing, the app is currently available for "Pre-order" until its official release. Users who pre-order the app will have it automatically downloaded to their devices once it goes live.

What is Google's NotebookLM App?

Initially introduced in 2023 as an experimental tool, NotebookLM is an AI-powered learning assistant trained on content provided by users, generating podcast-style audio summaries. By transforming static notes into dynamic, conversational audio, the app makes research and information review more engaging and accessible. It extracts content from websites, PDF documents, YouTube videos, and more.

NotebookLM is designed for professionals, researchers, content creators, and students. Users can upload source materials and interact with the AI in various ways—ask questions about the uploaded content, organize information into notebooks, or generate audio overviews. These are podcast-style files with background playback and offline support, enabling convenient listening anytime, anywhere.

The app also features a chat panel that allows users to engage in conversations with the AI to gain deeper insights into the content.

Subscribers to Google One AI Premium receive additional benefits, such as expanded customization options and higher usage limits within NotebookLM.

How Does NotebookLM Differ From Gemini?

NotebookLM serves as an alternative to Google's generative AI tool, Gemini. While Gemini is trained on large datasets, NotebookLM relies exclusively on user-provided information, making it more targeted and tailored to specific research needs. Additionally, NotebookLM provides responses with citations, allowing users to easily verify the accuracy of the information and identify its sources.
