NotebookLM prompts with a clear purpose
Turn selected sources into a clear brief, a useful comparison or a study plan.
Start with the decision your sources need to support
Name the material, audience and result in your notebook request. Choose the relevant sources before requesting a comparison. Separate what the documents say from your interpretation.
Prompeteer helps you draft the instruction; you choose and run it in your notebook. Google currently labels its notebook help pages Gemini Notebook.
- A research brief: findings, supporting passages and open questions.
- A study guide: concepts, practice questions and source references.
- A comparison: the same criteria applied to each selected source.
A comparison you can check
Use this example with your own selected project proposals. Name the documents in the notebook so the answer can distinguish them.
Using only the selected proposals, compare implementation scope, dependencies, exclusions and stated delivery dates. Return a table with one row per criterion and one column per proposal. Cite the passage supporting each factual cell. Use "Not stated" where a proposal is silent. End with three questions we should ask before choosing a supplier; do not rank suppliers from missing information.
Adapt this authored prompt to the proposals you selected.
A citation is the start of verification
Open the cited passage and check its meaning, date and surrounding context. A source can be incomplete or wrong. A well-formed prompt cannot supply documents you did not select.
Google provides the notebook and determines its features and subscription terms. You supply the prompt there; Prompeteer does not access your notebook.
Common questions
Does Prompeteer connect to my notebook?
You copy the instruction into your notebook and select the Google sources there. This workflow has no direct notebook connector.
Can I use this for Audio Overviews?
Adapt the brief to the controls available in your notebook. State the intended audience and focus; check the resulting overview against the original sources.
