Introduction to Google Gemini 3.0 Update

Google just released one of the biggest updates ever to Google Gemini 3. 0 because now you can import entire notebooks from Notebook LM into Gemini 3. Like you can actually have a full conversation with your sources inside Notebook LM using one of the smartest AI models on the planet right now. And the crazy part is that this is just one of nine Notebook LM use cases that most creators don't even know exist. So, in this video, I'm going to be showing you those nine use cases that turn Notebook LM from simply being something that summarizes PDFs into your own creative agency. And the first thing we want to

Creating and Importing Notebooks in Gemini

do is go over to YouTube. And so, now that I'm on my channel, I want to come down to videos and I want to sort by popular. And then I want to click on this notebook LM tab. And I can choose create notebook or choose a notebook that I already have created. We're going to create a new notebook. And now it's going to import the top 50 videos from this channel into a single notebook. Now that we're over here in Gemini, the next thing we want to do is click on the plus to add files. And if you look at the bottom, you'll see that there's a new notebook element extension. If you click this, it will show you all of the available notebooks. So here's the one with Corey Mlan that we just created with 50 sources. We're going to select that and click add. And now I can ask any questions that I want to using this

Utilizing Gemini for Channel Growth

notebook. Now, the primary benefit of being able to use Notebook LM inside Gemini is that we now can not only use Notebook LM with Gemini 2. 5 Flash or the fast version, we can also use it with Thinking with Pro. But not just that, we also have tools like Nano Banana and even VEO 3. 1. So, for instance, I might ask Gemini 3 Pro, can you tell me the top three subniches you think that this channel might be overlooking and where they can double down to see exponential growth for 2026? And now, not only am I using Gemini 3 Pro with thinking with my notebook, but I'm also getting real time data, real time reasoning from the model that's outside the box, so to speak. Because when Gemini 2. 5 or Gemini 3 fast operates inside of notebook LM, it's doing it in an airgapped environment. It's grounded in the sources and it's not able to use real- time data unless you do a deep research, fast research, web research and then add sources to the notebook. And so Notebook LM inside of Gemini is going to allow us to not just get that grounded, deep, detailed understanding, but also those realworld insights that we can immediately take action on and have more confidence that we're actually getting an edge using AI and the knowledge and information that we're ascertaining inside the Gemini model. And so Gemini says that we should focus on no code, micro SAS, and tool building. The creator is developer. And it talks about why we should do that and the strategy for making that pivot. It also talks about the AI agency model, B2B service arbitrage. And finally, it talks about physical product brand building, AI powered commerce. The channel heavily advocates for owning your audience and monetizing beyond platform payouts. While digital products are the current focus, the transcripts reveal a strong interest in physical goods that is largely underexplored compared to content strategy. Those are some good ideas of some things worth thinking

Generating Video Titles and Thumbnails with AI

about. But let's say that I want to go with option number one. And I'm just thinking like what's the first typical video I would do if I went with that option. Can you recommend a first title I should go with for option number one that is simple, clean, and most likely will have a high click-through rate? And also, can you write me a prompt that will create a thumbnail using Nano Banana for the same video? Make sure the thumbnail has a four to five word phrase that either creates cognitive dissonance or explains a sub idea that will make people want to watch the video and increase curiosity. And that was a mouthful, but now it's doing all of this based on the notebook that we've uploaded to the chat. And so the first title they recommend is build your first AI app in 10 minutes, no coding required. That actually sounds like a fun video. Let's take this prompt though and let's copy it. And so Gemini 3 has written this prompt based on the notebook. Create a high quality photorealistic YouTube thumbnail. In the center feature a glowing modern laptop screen displaying a sophisticated colorful software dashboard. To the left of the laptop, show a simple chat bubble icon. to the right. Show a floating 3D holographic text overlay that reads one prompt full app. And then it did not include us. It added a creator right there. But the thumbnail looks great. So now what we're going to want to do is take this picture, copy the image, and
4:55

Editing Thumbnails with Nano Banana

I'm pretty sure I should be able to edit this if I click on it. Hold on. I think I have to click these three dots. Copy. Download. Listen. No. All right. So this is what we're going to do. We're going to say, replace the man pointing at the laptop with an image of the man provided in this message. Make sure I have banana nano banana selected and send it over. Remove the man from the image. And now I'm going to say add the subject in this file to the thumbnail. And let's see if they do it. If they don't, it doesn't matter. Typically I could just take this right here and go inside of Canva and finish designing the thumbnail myself. But it was able to do it here for me. So now what I'll do is I'll just download the full size of this. I can go in Canva, do grab object, and then just make myself larger right here. And the thumbnail will look a lot better. But being able to bring your notebooks into Gemini is also a great way to make sure that all of your information is based in fact, not fiction. And so I have a Facebook creator coach notebook that I
5:57

Using Notebook LM for Facebook Growth

created a long time ago. And I basically asked it, what is the best way to grow your Facebook page? And it gave me a fivestep system. So target psychoraphics, not just demographics, use the reals, community depth, content mints, master algorithm signals, build a consistent system, differentiate to stand out, and it pulled all of that from the available notebook. That's not internet search data. You can look and see these links right here. These citations go directly back to the notebook. And so this is a great way to use Gemini 3 Pro with various sources from across the internet because now you just use Notebook LM to gather the data you want to use Gemini 3 Pro with and then you can process it. But then I turned around and I had Nano Banana Pro
6:48

Creating Infographics with Nano Banana Pro

create this beautiful infographic showing the five steps, right? And so the and this is the beautiful thing about this. If I were to create this inside of Notebook LM, it probably wouldn't have came out like this because Notebook LM itself is very restricted with the image generation. As a matter of fact, this is what I'm going to do. I'm going to take the prompt right here. We're going to go to that notebook. Here's our Facebook Creator Coach. We're going to go to infographics. We want it portrait H. I'm going to go with concise. I'm going to paste in the prompt and I'm going to click generate. Now, one thing I did leave out here is in the Gemini conversation, there was the context of already growing a Facebook page. And so, that's very important because the Gemini console, you have the context right there for image generation. So, what I would need to do would be to come back here and copy this and then run the prompt with this inside of Notebook LM. All right. And so I'm generating a second one using the prompt but also using the full context of the response that we got earlier with the five steps just to see what it comes out looking like because many times in notebook LM the infographics look like illustrations and
8:01

Comparing Infographic Results

it's very difficult to break them away from that cartoon type look in my experience. So here's the first attempt and then we'll look at the second attempt as soon as it's done. But once again look it it's your profitable niche. Define your ideal follower, create standout content, systemize your posting, foster genuine engagement, monetize with native tools. But if we look at what we got with Gemini 3 Pro, we can see that this is much better. Define psychoraphic persona. That's a much more nuanced approach than find your profitable niche. finding your profitable niche is on the surface, but when you take Gemini 3 Pro and you go a little bit deeper, it's define psychoraphic persona. They're very related, but Gemini 3 Pro just does a better job. Second step, leverage reals for reach. That's the advanced approach. And with define your ideal follower, create standout content. This is all basic. These are basic steps for growing a Facebook page. And these are pro But no wonder we're using a pro model. And so now this is the second one that we created. And this time it had the data. Now look at what it actually came up with. It came up with the road map just like the other one. But look at it. The modern Facebook growth path of five-step blueprint target psychoraphics not demographics. So it used the data that we gave it. Text image. Use the reals live text content. content mix. Master algorithm signals. Build a consistent system. Differentiate to stand out. So, we still have a little bit of that. Use perspective personal brand storytelling. Uh, use contrarian angles, a unique visual identity and personal stories to be movable. And so if you look at this, and that's a pretty nice creative, and we look at this one, which is not as good, but then we look at this one that was created by Nano Banana Pro inside of Gemini. My opinion is that Nano Banana Pro inside Gemini just has less restrictions. It's more creative. I feel as though I could double down on this and make it look even better. So, I took a copy of the infographic and I said, "Make this look less like an illustration and more like a hyper realistic image because I want you to see just how unfettered I think Nano Banana Pro is inside of Gemini. " All right, so let's get a good look at this one right here. We still have the psychoraphic uh reals for reach, build community, establish consistent rhythm, grow your loyal audience. Let's close that and open the next one. define psychoraphic persona ress for reach. All right. So if focused on the imagery, what I want you to look at though is the glass morphism and add it. The details here you have uh looks like fear, hope, and values. We got some more glass morphism here. And so overall, I think it did a better job of trying to make the image feel less flat, so to speak. and asking to make it hyper realistic probably wasn't the best request. But I still feel as though Nano Banana Pro is less restricted inside Gemini than it is inside of Notebook LM. So everything you've ever done in Notebook LM now you have to absolutely do it again and use one of the smartest models on the planet to actually do it to check out those results because they're going to be crazy good. Crazy insane good. This is where I'm going to be spending a lot of time now because of this update. And so, one thing I want to let you know is that I'm in a free Google account. It is not available in workspace accounts yet. Workspace accounts tend to get these type of features last, as well as other Gemini features that you just don't get inside of workspace accounts. So, this video was already recorded, but this feature, this update was too good not to include it in this one. And so when you're watching the rest of this video, just understand all of these use cases that I'm showing you, you can turn around and use them in Gemini. This Google is really just creating this ecosystem where you can just use their AI tools and you don't need too many others. I really feel like that's what they're headed for. But now, let's go into the first department inside of
12:27

Grounding Your Brand in Factual Content

Notebook LM. And let me show you how to ground your brand in factual content, data, and information so that no matter what you're doing, it's always on brand. And for the first department, what we want to do is create something that's uniquely based on our personal content. If you don't have a YouTube channel, don't worry. There are other things that you can do to get the data you need. But for me in particular, I'm going to upload my entire channel. So, here we are. When I open YouTube, uh, YouTube is recommending my video. Thank you, YouTube. It's on the home screen. Let's click on this icon. Go to my channel. When we get to YouTube, we want to click on this notebook LM tab. It's going to ask us if we want to create a new notebook or choose a notebook. If you have a regular Notebook LM account, then you can only upload up to 50 videos to a single notebook. But if you have Notebook LM Plus, you can upload up to 300 videos. So, I'll choose create a new notebook. And then it'll open up Notebook LM. and it will import my entire YouTube channel. Now, here we are inside of Notebook LM and you can see that it's uploaded all of my YouTube videos or at least 253 of them. It may not have been able to pull a transcript for some of them and so I removed them. But we don't want to stop there. We want to upload some specific documentation that'll really give Notebook LM some insight into who we are. So, we want to click on the add sources button, choose file, and I'm going to upload a document that I call a founder blueprint. And basically what it does is it walks you through an interview and it asks you question about your life, about your constraints, about your resources, about your ideas, your passion, hobbies, everything. So that it has not just a snapshot but a full real life picture of who you are, what you're aiming to do, and what you realistically have at your disposal, what you don't want to deal with, where you really feel strong at, and where you're really willing to extend yourself. It just really gives any AI a great snapshot to work with so that you get more relevant responses and you don't have to keep tinkering and telling it this and telling it that. You just give it this document and it's good to go every single time. And now I'm just going to ask Notebook LM using my brand document and my existing channel content, write one clear sentence that describes who I help, what I help them achieve, and how I do it differently. And this is the sentence notebook Ellen wrote for me. I help entrepreneur creators build predictable revenue engines by using AI as a systematic infrastructure rather than magic prompts allowing them to escape the content hamster wheel and own their business instead of relying on platform payouts. The next prompt is here is a video idea how to use notebook Ellen like a pro based on my brand document and my existing content. Tell me if this idea is strongly on brand, weekly on brand or off-brand. Explain why in two to three sentences and suggest one tweak that would make it more aligned. The importance of being on brand cannot be overstated because being on brand just means being consistent, showing up consistently so that people have an expectation of what they can get from you. But it says this idea is weekly on brand. While Notebook LM is a core component of your tech stack, a generic how-to tutorial lacks the specific systems thinking and leveragebased outcome that your target audience of entrepreneurs demands. Your strongest content frames AI is infrastructure for a specific result, such as cloning a channel or replacing a $2,000 course rather than just a broad feature walkthrough. Suggested tweak my notebook LM workflow. how I turned one document into a full content strategy. But aside from Notebook LM just being an awesome
16:13

Understanding Your Niche and Positioning

tool for us grounding everything that you're going to be doing in your brand, understanding your brand, it's also a great tool for understanding your niche and your position within your niche. So, one of the things they have inside of the studio is a mind map. This mind map is going to give us a visual representation of everything that we've done with our YouTube channel and with the documents that we've uploaded. So whenever I'm flying and I look down, I realize that getting a bird's eye view is the best perspective on any situation because many times we're just too close to it. But when I'm looking down, it's easy for me to see that there are separate paths separated by miles. And while a person on the ground may think, "Oh, this is the right path. " The person who has the bird's eyee view can see, "Oh, that's the wrong path because I can see an obstacle, a problem, or an hostile opponent far ahead, but they can't see it because they're down on the ground level. " And so this mind map gives us this bird's eyee view so that I don't have to un like worry about making that wrong decision so to speak. I have a better context and understanding for where I am as a creator, as a business owner than if I were just on the ground trying to figure this out on my own. And so I can see that I have five main content buckets. Content creator success and monetization strategy. That's who I am. That's what I do. But then I can see that there's platform strategy and risk mitigation, personal branding and audience building, monetization models, uh AI, large language model, workflows and infrastructure, creator operational constraints. This is my blueprint. It has my name spelled wrong, so it must be a misspelling of the documentation. But I can open up either of these. And if we open up the blueprint, you can see that it's time and capacity management, offer business model, intent, content production strategy. But we're going to ask a very simple question. Using my brand document and my channel content, list three to five concrete niche options I could focus on. For each niche, includes the specific audience, the main problem they're dealing with, the main outcome they want, and the angle my current content uses to help them. So, the first one is the platform exit strategist. Frustrated Facebook and Instagram creators who have built large followings 100,000 plus but are seeing payouts plummet and feel like employees of the algorithm. Their main problem trapped in the slot machine mentality. Main outcome transitioning from a content creator paid by views to a digital entrepreneur paid by customers. Your angle you validate their frustration but pivot immediately to personal responsibility teaching them how to build owned assets. to the AI systems architect for solarreneurs. Serious creator prneurs who want to produce highlevel content but are limited by time and refuse to publish lowquality AI slop. They're overwhelmed by the manual labor of content production and confused by the noise of magic prompts that don't actually produce usable work. Main outcome building a content engine. your angle. The publisher mindset mentor experts and coaches who are stuck in the editor phase. This is pulling from a specific video I did. Didn't get a lot of views, but man, I really like that video because it was just a breakthrough for me. Uh, so it gave me three of them. These are all really good. What we're going to do is we're going to save this to a note as well because this is helping us understand who our audience is. All three of these. Number one, the platform exit strategist. This is most creators. They're trying to earn money from Meta, Instagram, YouTube. They don't have anything to offer their audiences. Nothing at all. Number two are the creators who have gone beyond that. They understand like Facebook is never going to pay me the kind of money I actually want. It's too unpredictable. This month is good, next month is not. They want something consistent. Third audience is definitely there. The publisher mindset. These are experts and coaches who are stuck in the editor phase. They're obsessing over perfect cuts and edits rather than focusing on distribution and business strategy. They already know how to make money. Coaches, consultants, and course creators, they already know. They know the game. Not the game, but they know how to make money online, but they have mental beliefs, things holding them up, keeping them from launching the offer, pushing the offer, so forth. So now that we have all of this information, the next thing we want to ask Notebook LM is create a niche and positioning snapshot for my channel based on my brand document, my channel content, and the niche you just recommended. Include a one-s sent niche statement in the format I help who with what so they can outcome, a short paragraph describing the target viewer, three to five points of on their biggest pains and desires, and one positioning line explaining how my channel is different. This niche snapshot is something that I can turn into a channel description. So, if you're a YouTube creator watching this video and you have videos, upload them to Notebook LM, run these prompts and you'll be able to take this information and completely redesign your YouTube channel, but with more intent and purpose because of the clarity that you're going to get from this conversation. And I'll put a link in the description and pinned comment beneath this video so you can go download them from my Google Drive or some other way. I'll just go over the main portions of this, but I help busy solarreneurs build AI powered content infrastructure so they can replace the content hamster wheel with a predictable revenue engine that they own and control. That's true, but it's a little wordy. I would definitely take this stuff and run it through Claude. Claude is the best writer. So, in my opinion, it's the best AI for all content creators. It's just going to help you so much better, especially when you create your own style. Game changer. Absolute game changer. But we want to save this to note as well. So, now we've used Notebook LM to ground it in our brand to understand our audience. The next thing we want to use it for is to generate
22:31

Generating On-Brand Ideas and Prompts

ideas and to actually write prompts for us. But it's not just generating general ideas or writing general prompts. is generating onbrand ideas and onbrand prompts. This is so important if you're trying to build a personal brand. You have to use Notebook LM as your creative agency. Based on my brand document, which is my founder document, and it knows to use it because it's selected in the lefth hand column, my niche and positioning and my existing content. Generate 10 hook and title ideas for a video about my most frequent topic. Aim for clear, specific promises, language that fits my brand, voice, and no generic clickbait. And so, I want to be transparent with you. Uh, I ran this prompt, but I just realized that I left
23:16

Running and Refining Prompts

one step out. So, what we want to do is come back over to the right and each of these documents that we created that we saved to note, we want to convert to source because we want notebook LM to use this information whenever it's generating a response. And so you can't save images as sources and you can't save mind maps as sources. But anything that notebook LM thinks or reasons you can convert to a source. And so now we have that list. We're going to run this prompt again and we're going to see how differently the response is based on the additional resources that we added to the conversation. So without those resources that we uploaded based on your brand document and the shift towards systematic probability and AI infrastructure, your most frequent and strategic topic is building an AI powered content engine. Here are 10 hook and title ideas designed to target the entrepreneur creator who is tired of the slot machine mentality. One, stop writing scripts, build a content engine, why viral hats keep you broke, stop buying prompts, build AI tools. That's a good video. Like, that's a really good one. Uh, because I do see a lot of people focused on buying prompt packs, but what you really should be doing is building tools inside of AI that you could use on a repetitive basis. The 5h hour content week. Okay, let's go down and see what we got now. All right, still the same thing. Uh, stop writing scripts, build a content hook, white viral hacks, stop buying pro. So, it gave us the same thing based on the available documentation. Now, what I'm going to do is this. I'm going to find the founder blueprint. I'm going to turn this off and I'm going to run the prompt one more time without the founder blueprint on because I think it might be pulling from my blueprint more than my videos. Department ideas. Based on your source content, your most frequent topic is Facebook monetization. However, your brand document and niche snapshot dictate a pivot away from chasing bonuses. It was always that employee mindset toward building systems. Therefore, these titles bridge the gap. They attract your legacy Facebook audience, but pivot them toward your new AI systems ownership positioning. And so, this is based on my channel data. And you got to remember that when it comes to my channel, it's 4 years old, right? So some of this information that it's using is extremely out ofdate. And so if I wanted to, let's say, focus on the most recent videos, then what I would need to do is probably create a playlist inside of my channel that contain my most recent videos and then only upload those videos. So, that's ideas, but what about writing prompts? And so, I'm just going to vibe prompt this one, which is what I love to do because people over complicate prompting. You don't need technical prompts most of the time. Sometimes you do, but for everyday usage, just tell it what you're thinking. I want to start a new business, but I don't know what to offer my audience. Can you write me a prompt that I can use in Gemini 3 Pro Chat GPT or Claude AI to build a business plan, create an offer, and start making money next week. All right. And so here's the response. Based on your request to generate revenue next week, we are not building a 50-page business plan. We are building a minimal viable offer or a micro offer. And this is where it pulled it from. According to the brand document and the offer architect framework using your content, the goal is to move fast by leveraging your existing skills audience to solve a specific problem immediately. And once again, we have references. We are avoiding lazy money schemes and focusing on a high value, low friction exchange. Here is a mega prompt designed to work in Gemini 1. 5 Pro, Claw 3. 5, or Chat GPT40. So once again, even though it has my YouTube channel and I definitely have videos about all of these models and their updated status, somewhere is still pulling in old information. So Notebook LM probably does operate off of some train data, just a very small set of it. Either way, here's the prompt. And now, in addition to it actually writing
27:44

Creating Infographics for Social Media

prompts for us, this takes us kind of over into the next thing. Notebook LM is your own personal content factory for loweffort platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and even Tik Tok because you can create infographics for those platforms that are on brand. And so I'm going to leave the languages English. And I'm going to make this square. it concise. And then I'm going to paste in a prompt. Something I love about Notebook LN that not enough people are talking about is the space they give you for the image prompts throughout this application. And the beautiful thing about Notebook LM is that while one is generating, you can go ahead and start generating another one. I'm going to do this one in square format as well. I'm going to leave it as standard. I don't like detailed. It tends to make the infographic too cluttered, just too dense. And so here we have a square infographic for the creators journey. Uh, every content creator starts at the same place, but where they end up depends on the path they choose. The start, initial idea and first post, random acts, posting without a system, inconsistent results, the crossroads, critical decision point, a system is needed. A system turns wasted years into a predictable path because without it, the chances of it being a wasted years is very high. Path one, you burn out and quit. Stuck in low engagement cycle, wasted effort, eventually quitting. Path two, momentum and success. Building a real business, predictable system and owned audience. Now, I could take this and download it and post it on Facebook. Write a post Facebook and now I have a graphic that's earning money. You might say, "Well, it has this small notebook LM uh feature on there. " Very easy to get rid of. Just put it inside Canva and either crop it or use the magic erase tool. It's done. And then we have this uh infographic. Three big mistakes content creators make when building their business, highlighting key strategic errors and providing corrective actions for sustainable growth. Mistake one, platform over reliance. Look at this. This is like a cloud and it's breaking outages, bans, algorithm changes. Uh it's missing like one of those little warnings, caution symbols right here. Mistake two, aimless content creation. Posting random content without purpose fails to build community. Mistake number three, ignoring true assets. And look at like the platform metrics in a bucket like walking on the floor. Uh focusing only on platform metrics leaves you vulnerable to platform changes. And then they have corrective tips. Diversify your presence. Now, I'll be honest, this is the one I struggle with the most. And I have plenty of content to repurpose, but I struggle with and I've started posting more on Tik Tok. I just want to do it natively because I found that just clipping your YouTube videos and then just reposting them doesn't work as well as when you create natively for that platform. But I'm going to get this done this year. Corrective tip number two. Define your audience and build your own assets. Email list, digital products. This content is great. Once again, download this. I can write a post about this and then post it on Facebook, post it to my Instagram, and it's going to generate engagement and I didn't have to create it. And it's onbrand. It's totally on brand. And some people might say it's AI content, but it's AI content based on my content, my original content. These are my ideas. Notebook LM is just designing and creating for me. This would take me hours to design inside Canva. Just this one single infographic probably just moving the text around, getting everything just right, the colors, the consistent character, but Notebook LM did in a seconds. Now, this next one is something that a lot of people absolutely overlook

Using Audio Overviews for Content

with Notebook LM. You can either do a video overview or you can do an audio overview. I'm personally going to do the audio overview for now. And there are different ways you can do this. You can do a deep dive, a brief, a critique, or a debate. This is probably one of the most underrated, overlooked features of Notebook LM, especially if you create YouTube content, Tik Tok content, or you're just on camera in general. This gives you the opportunity to hear how your video potentially sounds, how the idea sound before you actually record the video. If you can't sit down and listen to the entire video, then what makes you think that somebody else is going to sit down and be interested to it? Now, there have been times where I created audio overviews and I was just stuck listening. It was really engaging. It was really informative and it was on brand for what I was creating. So, you want to make certain that when you're using this tool and you go back and you listen to it that you can listen to the entire thing because if you can't, that's going to let you know like, hey, that was a little boring. This section right here was boring. It didn't keep me interested. And if it didn't keep you interested, why in the world would it keep your audience interested? So, this is a great tool to use to prototype content to kind of get a feel for it for yourself if you don't have anyone to bounce your ideas off of because people are busy. You can ask people to watch your YouTube videos for you and give you feedback, but come on, let's be realistic. And so, the next thing that we could do with Notebook LM is we can

Designing Slide Decks with Notebook LM

take all of our content from our YouTube channel or our uploaded documentation and then you can create a slide deck. And once again, you can do a detailed slide deck or a presenter slide. You can make it short or default. And then once again, you can run a prompt right here that actually designs it well. And I've tested different things with it. And what I will say is this. You can tell notebook LM what to place on the prompts. But what I found that gives you the most leverage in that particular space is designing the slides the way you want them to look. And so I want you to look at this slide deck right here. and I'm just going to kind of go through them, but I want you to look at the design and how well it's put together. I wrote this prompt with chat GPT 5. 2 and I just asked it to focus on the design and I asked it to give it that, you know, glass look that we have with the new Apple iOS 26. And I just want you to look at this. So, it took the data that I ran and it created a slide deck. And if I click on this right here, I can read the prompt. This is the design brief appearance only. Create a slide deck with a premium modern creative agency look using a dark cinematic theme and glass morphism style system theme. Dark mode, high contrast, minimal elegant background, deep navy charcoal base with subtle gradient movement. Very soft. Plus one to three blur light blobs per slide. Low opacity for depth texture. optional color palette. All right, it just typography used one clean sans ser family throughout uh components. It just really went in detail about how to design these slides and like even on this one if you look at the background behind systematic probability you can see an engine like I haven't seen anyone create a state like this with notebook LM but you can absolutely do it. So now let's close this down. And I'm just going to ask Notebook LM based on my audience preferences. Suggest three ways I could use this deck as a product or asset such as a live workshop, pay mini training, course module, or lead magnet. For each suggestion, explain in two to three sentences how to position it for my target viewer. So while notebook is doing that, we're going to go back to chat GPT. We're going to copy this response. We're going to click on add sources, copy text, click inside, paste, and insert. So now our response for the business plan is added as a source. But now notebook LM operating from the department, the product department, and it's always going to tell us what department is operating from. We'll get to that in just a moment. Based on the founder blueprint white paper, specifically the sections on audience 10. 2 two and offer constraints 12. 1. Here are the three high lever ways to package this asset. So, as a lead magnet, the creator to executive diagnostic, the golden window productivity system, a 60-minute workshop templates based on section 5, the AI infrastructure blueprint high ticket course module or bonus, a technical over-the-shoulder module based on section 9 and section 7. 1, price tier, etc. Notebook LM is on point. These are three great ways to take this digital asset, build it out even further, and make it something that people actually want. So, this next prompt says, "Based on my channel content and how often I talk about different topics, identify the main topic clusters on my channel. For each cluster, include a short name, a one to two sentence description, and a few example videos I've already covered. then give your best guess at which two to three clusters are my top themes based on frequency and depth. Now one thing that I didn't mention earlier is that I did download my entire YouTube channel and what I did was I converted my channel data into a markdown file. So I'm going to see if I can find it here. I downloaded it from claude notebook and mind map png. Oh I don't think I uploaded it. Okay so I didn't upload it. So let's go to add source. Choose file. There it is. All right. YouTube channel is added now. Command F. And so here it is right here. YouTube channel analytics for notebook LM. But here the here's the answer. The top three core themes based on frequency and depth. Facebook and meta monetization. The cash flow engine. AI workflows and systems. The differentiation engine. The platform exit strategy. The mission engine. This is good stuff. I'm really loving this. But now what I'm going to do just to kind of deal with the analytical department is we're going to run this simple prompt that just says based on my YouTube channel analytics, what are my top 10 most popular videos that got the most views and the most subscribers that I should double down on for 2026? Based on your YouTube channel analytics, here are your top 10 videos ranked by a combination of views and subscribers gained. These represent your current winning lane for 2026 content planning. The double down top 10 list. The best way to make money on Facebook in 2025. The performance, the subs, and the revenue generated. How to turn on Facebook professional mode. Facebook professional mode complete tutorial. How I got 100,000 Facebook page followers. Performance bonus on Facebook. uh how to get 50,000 real Facebook followers, Facebook content monetization, and Gemini 3 Pro can build websites and digital products in seconds. The bridge strategy is validated. Your analytics show a clear split. Your Facebook growth monetization content drives volume, but your AI product creation content drives revenue. tutorial, full course, or step by step in the title perform best, high RPM and AI topics based on our founder blueprint and all of the documentation you have access to. How can we refine these top 10 videos so that they're more relevant to our current audience? And so now the department is gaps based on your founder blueprint and YouTube channel analytics. We need to perform a strategic pivot on your top performing topics. And so what it did was it gave us the original how to turn on Facebook professional mode and then it gave us the issue attracts hobbyists looking for a button to press the refinement turn Facebook into a lead engine professional mode for entrepreneurs. And so it basically took our top 10 ideas and rewrote them for the new audience so that if there are some people looking for professional mode videos who are more entrepreneurial, they're going to immediately pick up on those videos because they're made for them. And the last use case for Notebook LM that a lot of people don't know about is this

Configuring Notebook LM for Optimal Use

configure button right here. So if you click on this configure chat icon, it will be default learning guide or custom. So default is best for general purpose research and brainstorming and learning guide is best for educational content helping you grasp new concepts and skills efficiently. But you can also set it to custom. Now what I want you to notice about custom is that this used to only be a couple of hundred characters. But what Notebook LM has done is expanded this to 10,000 characters. And I don't know why they did that, but I'm happy they did because now I'm able to use Notebook LM in the same way that I use Chatg GPT projects and Claude projects, but even more powerfully because instead of me just telling Notebook LM how to respond, the style to speak in, and so forth, I give it a prompt, a router prompt. And this is what it says. You are my creative agency brain with eight departments. Route questions to the right department, then respond using that department's rule. And this is the routing. Department one, branding, onbrand, brand check, voice, align, does this fit? Uh, department two, niche, target viewer, audience, who do I help, avatar, positioning. So, anytime these trigger words come up, these are the departments that you're going to be routed to. And the departments are department one branding, department two niche, department three ideas, department four assets, department five prototype, department six product, department seven gaps, and department 8 general. That's anything else. And then this is the document priority. Always check in order. Brand document, niche, snapshot, department docs, channel content, analytics. This is why earlier when we kept generating the video ideas, it was pulling from the brand document more than the channel because even though there were 253 channel videos, this brand document, the founder OS document that I uploaded came earlier in this workflow and it respected this order and it stayed on script. These are the department rules. All responses start with department name. And once again, I'm not going to go through all of this. I'll give you a copy of this prompt and everything when you download it. But if we go back, I can show you department gaps, department product. So you can see that notebook LM has been following the instructions the whole time except for some of the earlier responses before I uploaded the prompt because I forgot and it was right here, department ideas when it first when I first uploaded it. But as soon as I uploaded that prompt inside of the configuration, it immediately took over. So if you've been using Notebook LM like chat GPT and you made it this far in the

Conclusion and Next Steps

video, hopefully you understand now there's just so much more to this platform that you can do when you actually understand how to use it. specifically with these specific eight use cases that are going to keep it on brand and it gives you so much control over the AI when you understand the difference between context engineering and source engineering. It's all about the data that you upload. The better the data or I should say the more relevant the data, the better the outcome you're going to get. If you got value out of this video, make sure you hit the like button, subscribe to the channel, and I'll see you in this next video where I show you how to use Notebook LM like a pro, and I do go into some details about the difference between prompt engineering, context engineering, and now source engineering.
