The NotebookLM mobile app now offers more customization, including selectable response lengths (shorter, default, longer, currently in English) and guiding prompts. The app can generate brief AI audio clips using two signature voices in a conversational podcast style. Buffering time on the app has been reduced by 95%. Multilingual capabilities have been available since April, and users can now set their preferred language within the Audio Overview UI rather than via device settings. NotebookLM originated from Google Labs and functions as an AI-powered research assistant that accepts uploads like PDFs, Google Docs, and images. More updates are expected.
The NotebookLM mobile app just got a little more customizable. You can now specify more elements within the Google-owned platform's tool, which debuted in September of last year. Users can adjust the length of generated responses (shorter, default, or longer -- currently available only in English), and customize outputs with "guiding prompts," according to a Thursday X . Guiding prompts are already available on desktop.
In an accompanying demo video, a user is shown selecting a shorter response, and adds the prompt: "How are Newton's three laws of motion demonstrated in the launch of a rocket?" After clicking the underlying "Generate" button, the system quickly outputs a brief AI-generated audio clip featuring the platform's two signature voices, one higher and one lower, interacting in a podcast-style conversation and discussing the physics of rocket flight. NotebookLM also wrote in its Thursday X post that buffering time on the app has been reduced by 95%. And while the platform has offered multilingual capabilities since April, users can now adjust their preferred language directly within a customization box in the Audio Overview UI; previously, you'd have to adjust the language settings on your device.
