# Spotify Takes on Google's NotebookLM with Its New App Spotify is launching a new desktop app that lets you turn your podcasts, articles, and other content into interactive research materials—similar to what Google offers with its NotebookLM tool. The app is rolling out as a test version in over 20 countries, so Spotify is still gathering feedback before a full release. If you regularly research topics or study, this could save you time by automatically organizing and summarizing content you already consume on Spotify.
