Today, we’re going to actually use it.
No deep dive. Just enough to understand how it works.
Before we jump in, here’s what you’re working with:
NotebookLM has three main panels:
📂 Sources: What you give it.
This is where your documents live: PDFs, notes, transcripts, pasted text, and more.Everything starts here.
💬 Chat: How you interact.
Ask questions, request summaries, and explore ideas.This is where you “talk” to your content.
🧪 Studio: What it creates.
This is where outputs live: summaries, notes, guides, and things like infographics.
Now let’s use the Sources panel.
