This is a high quality video, very informative and well-structured. Thank you. I am sure your channel will take off— keep it up!

Intellectual honesty at its finest - if I'm an advisor and a student comes in with all these kinds of documents and sources and asks me to work with her through them I find a piece of paper with only text I ask her where did you get this? Notebook won't do that it's just assumes it's the the user's text and won't say anything

Really appreciate leaving your comments, feedback and consider subscribing to our channel !

That was a great video. I would love the News Prompt as that one was my favorite. Thanks for being much more innovative than others.

This video is perfect for those who have already mastered the basic features of NBLM. Keep up the great work! We're looking forward to seeing more videos soon!

[OliveirosDiasJr]

Thank you for this high quality knowledge! I've learned a lot with you about the NotebookLM. Namastê 🙏

[RobertCleggRC]

Wouldn't hallucinations be dependent upon the LLM? The LLM is the reasoning engine notebook is the layer above it. I think you just created a contest to see if you can make notebook LM hallucinate by creating inputs only

[EliseuMateus]

Great explanation! I already knew about this tool, but I just needed a push to start using it. This video did the job perfectly. Thank you!

[RobertCleggRC]

I wonder if the attribution gets lost when pasting in a transcript from a YouTube video . notebook will then blend those ideas in with your other sources and your own thinking

[RRSRiddlers]

this is an awesome video and it explained so much within 15 minutes! I am really looking forward to future videos😊

Wow, that's the first time I've heard of the connection between US Election and NotebookLM trends. Brilliant! At Jellypod, we’re definitely inspired by approaches like this to demonstrate how AI tools can help creators go from insights to content in minutes.

In your Playlist "NotebookLM Tutorial" this video (i.e., NotebookLM Power Tips That 99% Don't Know (2025 Guide)) appears at position #4. Given its basic overview quality for beginners, I suggest placing it as the very FIRST video in the playlist.

"Notebook LM never halucinates"? It's not true. It halucinates all the time. Creates stories and gives false answers to the questions about attached documents. I'd like to have temperature slider here, as for now Notebook LM imagination is off the scale! And still it's really usefull tool.

[DhyanaStudio]

I used notebook LM to create my first AI podcast on pets...stories, training etc..love to see changez or additions in notebook LM. Will you be donnng a video on illuminate ?

[QuickStartAI-pt]

Brother, your content is amazing, the hook, the topic all 10/10. Just working a little bit on the thumbnails may get you more success. That's how I see it.

Indeed, you are doing a fantastic job reviewing Google LLM. Thank you.

Here is my method - it’s not perfect
Each prompt is to be run sequentially:
Add a Harvard.pdf document giving examples and explaining the referencing process to your sources


Prompt 1:
Define [Concept] in your own words using only the provided published sources. After each sentence, include an immediate in-text note identifying the source(s) you used (e.g., (Author, date [CITATION NEEDED])). If any information required for citation (author, date, title, publisher, URL, etc.) is missing or unclear, use "[CITATION NEEDED]" within the note, along with any available identifying details (e.g., page number, organisation name). Do not produce a full reference list or bibliography at this stage.

After you get output run prompt 2

Prompt 2:
Next, (a) Replace all source identifiers from Prompt 1 with properly formatted Harvard-style in-text citations following the guidelines in 'Harvard.pdf'. Use the author–date system. If a citation still contains "[CITATION NEEDED]", leave it in place and add a note at the end of the definition listing all sentences that require manual citation review.

After you get output run prompt 3

Prompt 3:
Revise the bibliography entries from Prompt 2 to ensure they fully comply with 'Harvard.pdf'. Pay close attention to all formatting details, including italics, capitalization, and punctuation. Incorporate any additional missing citations that were listed as requiring manual completion in Prompt 2a’s note. Follow 'Harvard.pdf' meticulously, adding any required page numbers, publication details, DOIs as URLs, and publication years. Do not include access dates unless specified by 'Harvard.pdf'. Present the final, complete bibliography in full compliance with the style guide and ready for inclusion in the final document.
