NotebookLM for product managers

Frequently asked questions
Can it keep a competitor notebook up to date?
Yes. Save a website or RSS import as a recipe; with Pro it checks on a schedule while Chrome is open. See scheduled import recipes.
Can NotebookLM answers be trusted for this?
NotebookLM answers from the sources you give it and cites passages, which makes checking fast, but it can still misread a source. Open the cited passage for anything you will reuse, and keep the export as your record of what was checked.
