Google NotebookLM 4+

NotebookLM is a game-changer for anyone who works with dense documents like research papers, business reports, or book content. You upload your own sources, and the AI gives grounded, accurate answers with proper citations—no hallucinations! It’s like having an intelligent assistant that understands your materials and helps you summarize, compare, and extract insights instantly.

The interface is clean, and the ability to organize notes from multiple sources makes it perfect for deep thinking and focused learning. It’s especially useful for students, professionals, and knowledge seekers.

Only downside: It doesn’t yet support spreadsheets or visual data like charts/tables—but for text-heavy work, it’s absolutely brilliant.

Highly recommended if you want to read less, understand more, and think better! 🧠✅

NotebookLM is a powerful tool on the web — it helps summarize and connect information across documents in a really smart way. The AI-generated insights, clean layout, and ability to manage sources make it great for research, studying, and even content planning.

However, the mobile app feels very stripped down. There’s no search function, which is essential when working with lots of content. You also can’t upload sources from Google Drive, which makes things less convenient. More frustratingly, the app doesn’t include Notes in the Studio view of a notebook, and there are no options to create FAQs, briefing docs, timelines, or study guides — all features that make the web version so useful. Plus, there’s no way to select or unselect specific sources in the mobile app — you can only delete and re-add them, which is clunky.

Right now, the mobile version is almost unusable for anything beyond basic viewing. I’ve resorted to saving the web version to my phone’s home screen, which gives me access to the full features. Hoping the app gets updated soon to match the web experience — the core idea is fantastic, but the mobile execution isn’t there yet.

Thank you so much Google for conceptualising and creating for us such a useful tool. I would say - this is AI done better, fruitful. Many thanks for that.
I noticed that there are a few features missing in the app, compared to its web version, could you please give us those as early as possible.
Missing Features in the mobile app:
1. Few source types such as markdown, mp3 Google Drive, Discover Sources missing.
2. Under chat - “Add Note” and importantly “Mind Map” is missing
3. Under studio -Study guide, briefing doc, FAQ, importantly Timeline is missing

In addition to these, if you can give an option to change the Notebook icon , which is a system assigned emoji right now…
