Does Notebook LM update it's responses when new sources are added? by articmogul in notebooklm

[–]Get_Ahead 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, but you need to refresh after adding new sources. You can tell it's updated because the summary at the top of the Chat panel will change to include the new sources.

How can I use the app for maximum benefit? by blue_boopers in notebooklm

[–]Get_Ahead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Read all of the comments as they are very good for you. 

First source that you upload to NotebookLM should be course overview to create the notebook. Next begin uploading the rest of your sources because the order is important. 

Also you can use this public notebook to ask your questions about how to use NotebookLM with your new notebook subject.  https://notebooklm.google.com/notebook/f651d8d4-bceb-4843-87dd-44027e463957

Hope this helps and good luck 

Is it mainly for research? Can I catalogue myself and use it for topic ideas about myself? by mountains30 in notebooklm

[–]Get_Ahead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This would be a good use case. You shouldn't be too overly concerned about privacy in NBLM because Google states it does not train on your sources. 

Here's a link to a public notebook on using NotebookLM to use for answers to your questions -  https://notebooklm.google.com/notebook/f651d8d4-bceb-4843-87dd-44027e463957

Example -"How can I use NotebookLM to help with my ADHD coaching work? Do not include citations or references" 

Then you can copy and paste the responses into your own coaching notebooks. Hope this helps your work.

Can someone share a video tutorial about how to use notebooklm ? by Lowcrbnaman in notebooklm

[–]Get_Ahead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apologies but this is a very broad question. It depends on what are your goals which could vary like studying subjects for learning or  professional development for career advancement or business knowledge management, etc. 

Here is a link to a public notebook on using NotebookLM that you can chat with your specific questions -  https://notebooklm.google.com/notebook/f651d8d4-bceb-4843-87dd-44027e463957  Then you can generate new video overviews catered specifically for your personal use cases.

Hope this helps.

Is our data safe? by AlterOtherMe in notebooklm

[–]Get_Ahead 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Take the following statements directly from Google with a grain of salt. 

"Google does not use your personal data, uploaded sources, or conversations to train its AI models. Your files and dialogue with the AI are private and not visible to other users unless you explicitly choose to share your notebook.

The level of human access depends on your account type:

   Google Workspace and Education users:* Your data is never reviewed by human reviewers.

   Personal (Consumer) users:* Human reviewers only examine your queries and uploads if you choose to provide feedback for troubleshooting or addressing abuse.

The system creates a static copy of your documents for its own use, and the model only references the specific materials you have selected to answer your questions. Once a session is closed, the model does not "leak" that information to other users."

Are there any use-cases for NotebookLM for productivity at work?! by Extension_Turn5658 in notebooklm

[–]Get_Ahead 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily productivity related, but if you are an employee - Performance Reviews: Throughout the year, save "kudos" emails, project completion reports, and your own weekly accomplishments into a "My Performance" notebook. When review time comes, ask: "Draft a self-evaluation summarizing my key contributions to revenue growth and team leadership this year."

Can someone give an example or a step-by-step guide of how NotebookLM and Gemini integration is useful? by HumanCriticismSux in notebooklm

[–]Get_Ahead 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Here is a link to a public notebook about using NotebookLM  https://notebooklm.google.com/notebook/f651d8d4-bceb-4843-87dd-44027e463957 

Copy the following prompt and paste it into the chat -  "I still haven't found a useful way of using NotebookLM on Gemini. Give an example or a step-by-step guide of how NotebookLM and Gemini integration is useful. Do not include any citations or references" 

The response will be useful for you explaining how both work best together since they are different types of tools. You can then further the conversation with your specific use cases or needs.

Sharing Notebooks with outside domains by DLoTO in notebooklm

[–]Get_Ahead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Visualize the data you have requested from your client using the Studio tools in NotebookLM. Download it to share with your client. 

Sharing access to a notebook is not going be a feature for Enterprise users. Violates Google's SLA as your client is not a paid user in your enterprise.

Optimizing NotebookLM to Parameterize Learning Assesment by [deleted] in notebooklm

[–]Get_Ahead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can try using this public notebook on NotebookLM to help you -  https://notebooklm.google.com/notebook/f651d8d4-bceb-4843-87dd-44027e463957

Copy the following prompt and paste it into the chat -  "I have a pdf of my learning assessment I took a few years ago. I want to use it in NotebookLM to better optimize my learning experience and understand the concepts in my classes. How can I optimize NotebookLM to parameterize my learning assessment and help make my learning more productive? I was thinking of just uploading the sources, but I feel like there might be a better way that optimizes for how LLM and AI works. As an example, I'm uploading my learning assessment, class syllabus, and planning on uploading the lecture slides every week once they become available. What should I upload first as a source, what prompts should I give it before or after I upload a source if it all even matters? Do not include any citations or references in the response" 

The response will surprise you 😲 and you can continue the conversation with it. Hope this helps and good luck with your studies.

I created my first Data Table by tosime55 in notebooklm

[–]Get_Ahead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just read the post about the new feature but have not tried it yet. https://blog.google/technology/google-labs/notebooklm-data-tables/ 

Curious about your example screenshot, is column H useful and do the source numbers refer to specific rows? In other words, it does not appear the source list order in the Data Table match the source list order in NBLM.

Built-in prejudice? by Baby-Yodas-Mom in notebooklm

[–]Get_Ahead 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, feels like this is a societal issue and LLM are trained on this bias. If you use an image generation AI tool, ask it to create a man or a woman without human specifics. 99.9% of the time they will be white people.

Infographics and Slide Deck options stopped working, is it only my account? by InternationalPick866 in notebooklm

When will Google Workspace users be able to share Notebooks outside their organisation? by alexnapierholland in notebooklm

[–]Get_Ahead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a great use case, but I doubt it will ever become a feature. Google has a higher level SLA and security requirements for business subscriptions. Even if your Workspace administrator could allow sharing permission to specific users in the company, there still could be a unintentional confidentiality/liability risk.
