Is Learn Me AI a good NotebookLM alternative?

Yes. It does everything NotebookLM does — chat with PDFs, video, YouTube and URLs, with every answer cited back to the source page — and then finishes the work: it writes the report in a real document editor, exports it as PDF, DOCX or MP3, and can publish it straight to your website.

Yes — you can start free with Quick Chat in your browser, no credit card required. Paid plans add more sources, messages and publishing.

Can I embed Learn Me AI on my own website?

Yes. Train a bot on your knowledge base, brand it, and ship it with a single script tag — or a Flutter / React Native widget. Visitors get cited answers without leaving your site.

Q4 2025 Margin Analysis

Introduction

Gross margin expanded 240 basis points to 61.2% in Q4 2025, led by a favourable shift toward subscription revenue. Operating leverage offset a 4% services decline in EMEA, while hardware held flat as component costs normalised. (Source: Annual-Report-2025.pdf, Page 12)

Drivers by Segment

Subscription revenue rose 31% on 14% net seat growth and pricing, lifting the blended margin. Services declined 4% in EMEA on a delayed launch and FX headwinds; management expects recovery in H1. (Source: Annual-Report-2025.pdf, Page 27)

Outlook

Management guides to 62–63% gross margin for FY26 as subscription mix continues to rise.
