NotebookLM began as an AI assistant for students, but it\u2019s since expanded into a broader hub for processing information across documents, written notes, and even YouTube<\/a> videos into formats that might be more useful for learning. That includes the flashcards and quizzes released <\/a>earlier this year for desktops.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For those who\u2019ve used NotebookLM primarily on a laptop, the jump to mobile isn’t just about portability. It\u2019s about shrinking the distance between intent and action. You can drill core concepts while waiting for coffee, run a quiz before bed, or build flashcards on the bus home.<\/p>\n You may like<\/p>\n NotebookLM is built to let you upload and annotate sources, ask questions about your materials, and extract insights from long documents. It pulls from PDFs, transcripts, lecture notes, really anything with text,<\/p>\n Until now, the app has mostly mirrored the desktop version’s capabilities passively. You could view and scroll, but not fully engage. Now you can customize flashcards and quizzes by setting the topic, difficulty level, and length.<\/p>\n Study travel<\/p>\n The update adds flexibility to those sources by letting you temporarily select or unselect which sources the AI uses to generate its answers and quizzes. That\u2019s a big deal if you\u2019ve uploaded dozens of documents and don\u2019t want a quiz pulling from the wrong week\u2019s material. It adds a layer of control that\u2019s especially helpful when you’re on the move and less inclined to wade through file settings.<\/p>\n The chat improvements are not just cosmetic, either. They fundamentally change how users can interact with their notes. A longer context window means the AI can track more of your study session, offering the kind of continuity usually lacking in mobile AI tools. So, while it might not automatically earn you an A, at least it will help keep all the details you need to remember top of mind until it’s time to start the exam.<\/p>\n Follow TechRadar on Google News<\/a> and add us as a preferred source<\/a> to get our expert news, reviews, and opinion in your feeds.
