- Google adds flashcards, quizzes, and smarter chat to NotebookLM mobile app
- These customizable learning tools were previously available only on desktop
- This update also enhances conversation options powered by Gemini, providing longer context and memory on mobile devices.
Google’s NotebookLM brings some of the best AI-powered learning features to its mobile apps, enhancing the chat experience in the process. You can now create flashcards and quizzes based on uploaded sources, even while you’re in the classroom for a test.
NotebookLM started as an AI assistant for students, but has since expanded into a broader hub for processing information across documents, notes, and even YouTube videos into a format useful for learning. This includes flashcards and quizzes, which were released for desktop earlier this year.
For those who have used NotebookLM primarily on laptops, the move to mobile isn’t just about portability. It is about closing the distance between intention and action. Drill core concepts while waiting for your coffee, take a quiz before bed, or create flashcards on the bus ride home.
NotebookLM is built to allow you to upload and annotate sources, ask questions about the material, and extract insights from long documents. Extract from anything that contains text, including PDFs, transcripts, and lecture notes.
Until now, the app primarily passively mirrored the functionality of the desktop version. You can view it and scroll through it, but you can’t fully engage with it. You can now customize your flashcards and quizzes by setting topic, difficulty, and length.

This update adds flexibility to the sources that the AI uses to generate answers and quizzes by allowing you to temporarily select or deselect them. This is a big problem if you have dozens of documents uploaded and you don’t want to quiz from the wrong week’s material. This adds a layer of control that’s especially useful if you don’t want to mess around with file settings too much while you’re on the go.
Chat improvements aren’t just superficial. These fundamentally change the way users interact with notes. A longer context window allows the AI to track more learning sessions, providing the kind of continuity that mobile AI tools typically lack. So, while it won’t automatically get you an A, it will at least help you keep in mind all the details you need to remember until the start of the exam.
