You can now use Google's AI study tools for NotebookLM right up until the test starts (www.techradar.com)

Google has rolled its desktop NotebookLM study tools into the mobile app, adding customizable flashcards, quizzes and an enhanced Gemini-powered chat so users can generate and use study material right up until a test. The mobile update lets you create flashcards and quizzes from uploaded sources (PDFs, transcripts, notes, YouTube captions), control which documents the AI draws from temporarily, and tune outputs by topic, difficulty and length. It also extends the mobile conversation experience with a longer context window and richer memory so the assistant can maintain continuity across study sessions. For the AI/ML community, this matters because it moves long-context, multimodal document understanding and user-directed generation from desktop to on-the-go workflows, highlighting demand for real-time, session-aware LLM interactions on mobile. Key technical implications include stronger session management (longer context + memory), finer-grained source selection to avoid cross-document contamination, and parameterized content generation for adaptive learning. The update is a practical example of integrating retrieval and instruction-following with user-controlled source sets at scale, and raises implementation considerations around latency, privacy and stateful context handling when serving Gemini-powered capabilities to mobile clients.
