It can answer questions and generate several useful results, whether it is a backgrounder, mind map, study guide, quiz, audio file or Video previewsit’s undeniably useful and flexible.

Last week, Google released an update that will allow users to generate flashcards and quizzes within the NotebookLM app, opening a new door for people trying to study on the go. We hope this also indicates that Google is working to bring even more web app features to mobile devices.

The app is still missing many features, but this is a solid first step in making it as robust as its web counterpart.
