An XDA writer fed NotebookLM the links from about 30 old 'read later' bookmarks and generated an Audio Overview. The 15-minute discussion pulled out the key ideas and showed which three articles were worth reading properly.
These sources are articles I saved to read later about [TOPICS]. Group them by theme, give me the three or four big ideas they share, and tell me which [NUMBER] articles are most worth reading in full and why. Point out any that mostly repeat the others.
An Android Police writer keeps ingredients, meal preferences, cooking notes and links to recipes they like in a Google Doc added to NotebookLM, then asks for low-effort dinners from that collection, so the suggestions are meals they'd actually cook.
From my saved recipes and notes only, suggest [NUMBER] low-effort dinners I could make this week using [INGREDIENTS I HAVE, E.G. EGGS, SPINACH AND RICE]. Keep each one under [MINUTES] minutes, avoid [FOODS WE DON'T EAT], and list anything extra I'd need to buy.
An Android Police writer uploads the manual for every new appliance to NotebookLM, then asks plain questions such as how often to clean the filter or what a flashing red light means, instead of scrolling through a long PDF.
Using only the manual I've uploaded for my [APPLIANCE AND MODEL], answer this: [YOUR QUESTION, E.G. WHAT DOES THE FLASHING RED LIGHT MEAN?]. Quote the page or section you got it from, give me the steps in order, and tell me if the manual says I should call an engineer instead.
Preparing for an engineering physics exam, one student uploaded lecture notes, PDFs and study material to NotebookLM. Because answers were grounded in his own sources, he could ask for explanations, chapter summaries and practice questions, and trace answers back to his notes.
Using only my uploaded notes, explain [TOPIC] simply, then give me [NUMBER] exam-style questions on it, starting easy and getting harder. After I answer, mark my answers and point me to the part of my notes that explains anything I got wrong.
In a Hacker News thread on everyday AI tools, one user said they use NotebookLM to explore sources in bulk and to prepare holidays.
Using only the sources in this notebook, create a short trip briefing for [DESTINATION]: top things to see, practical tips (transport, money, opening days), food to try and anything my sources disagree on. Cite which source each point comes from.
