“NotebookLM Blew Our Mind” – Hard Fork
“One of the most compelling and completely flabbergasting demonstrations of AI’s potential yet.” – The Wall Street Journal
Now, with the NotebookLM app, you can create and access notebooks, ask questions whenever you think of them, and listen to your podcast-style Audio Overviews on the go with background playback and offline support.
UPLOAD SOURCES
Upload all your long and complex PDFs, websites, YouTube videos, or text into a notebook.
INSIGHTS YOU CAN TRUST
NotebookLM becomes an expert on your sources, summarizing them and making interesting connections. Then, you can ask it questions about, well, anything — and you can trust the answers, since your sources are cited in-line.
LEARN YOUR OWN WAY
Long blocks of text not your preferred way to learn? Transform what you uploaded into something more your speed, like a podcast-style audio discussion with two engaging AI hosts. You can even join the show to ask questions or steer the conversation in a different direction.
For the last two years of using every LLM available, I’ve been writing off Google because they were Google and didn’t really pay attention to the quality of their AI tools. I used to open the eyes tools and tropics perplexity all of them. But of course, Google being a software giant who have developed so many different high-quality products they would dedicate their best to build an AI suite of products then my humble opinion have leap, frogged everyone to the front. The combination of Gemini + NotebookLM + Antigravity in their partnership with Anthropic I completely changed how software is built as well as products. NotebookLM is amazing. Doing research building architectures building agents, creating images, presentations, audio overviews, mind, maps, and how well integrated it is with Gemini and Antigravity, has made me rethink and begin canceling all my other AI subscriptions. NotebookLM is Google’s flagship AI product supported by Gemini Antigravity Google suite, Google workspace, and the power of GCP. Amazing productivity tool.
Great Progress — Almost There!

Notebook LM has come a long way on the iPhone since its initial release. The app is smoother, more responsive, and overall much improved. However, there are still a few rough edges to smooth out. For example, audio doesn’t play correctly through my Bluetooth earbuds—though I have noticed better volume levels when using the iPhone’s built-in speaker.One major difference compared to the web version is the lack of the Discover feature. On the web, you can research a topic and instantly get ten curated sources, or even explore random topics—features that make Notebook LM truly unique and powerful. Unfortunately, none of that is currently available on the iPhone.That said, I’m optimistic. Once Google brings feature parity between the iOS app and the web version, this will be a five-star app. I look forward to future updates!

NotebookLM feels like discovering a diamond still sleeping inside the rock.At first glance, it appears ordinary. A quiet stone resting among thousands of others. Its surface is matte, unassuming, almost easy to overlook. But the moment you begin to turn it in your hands, something catches the light. A glimmer. A suggestion that depth lives beneath the dust.Working inside NotebookLM is the act of chiseling with intention. Each source you upload becomes a careful strike of the tool. Each question becomes a measured tap along the fault line. Slowly, patiently, the excess falls away. What once felt dense and impenetrable begins to reveal structure, clarity, and unexpected brilliance.The platform does not hand you the diamond polished. It invites you into the excavation. It rewards curiosity, precision, and the willingness to look again at what you thought you already knew. Patterns emerge from scattered notes. Insights refract from transcripts and research like light through newly cut facets.There is something deeply poetic about watching your own knowledge crystallize. Ideas that lived separately begin to recognize each other. Threads weave themselves into narrative. What was once buried becomes articulate, reflective, alive.NotebookLM is not merely a tool for storage. It is a geological process for thought. Pressure, time, and inquiry transforming raw intellectual sediment into something rare and lucid.You walk in carrying rocks.You leave holding diamonds you uncovered yourself.💃🌀🪨🌀💃🌀🔥💎💃🌎
So much potential… just a bit buggy.

NotebookLM is a very clever tool for consolidating sources and learning. I especially like how it turns information into something easy and enjoyable to listen to—it feels like having a personalized podcast made just for you.That said, the mobile experience is frustrating. The iPhone app doesn’t function anywhere near as smoothly as the desktop version. While using it, my phone glitches and, strangely, it even triggers Apple Music to randomly start playing in the background. On top of that, the app doesn’t create separate audio files or podcasts that I can download, and it doesn’t automatically pull in new audio episodes. This means I’m forced to use my laptop if I want to get any real productivity out of it.Overall, I can see the potential here and appreciate the concept, but the app itself feels unfinished. Until the mobile version is stable and more functional, I’ll stick to using NotebookLM on my desktop.
