Most people open Notebook LM, upload random PDFs, and expect magic.
That’s like walking into the gym, grabbing every dumbbell, and wondering why nothing’s changing.
In this Google Notebook LM Guide, I’ll show you how to use Notebook LM properly — to create a 24/7 AI assistant that knows your business better than you do.
You’ll see how to:
- Build an AI brain for your business
- Train your team automatically
- Create podcasts and videos in minutes
- Turn chaos into systems that scale
Let’s dive in.
What Is Google Notebook LM?
Notebook LM is Google’s free AI research assistant.
It’s not like ChatGPT or Claude.
This tool only uses the information you upload — your PDFs, notes, videos, and websites.
That means no hallucinations, no made-up answers.
Just facts, grounded in your own documents.
Think of this Google Notebook LM Guide as your manual for building an AI researcher who reads every single document about your business — and never sleeps.
You ask it a question.
It gives you the answer.
And it tells you exactly where it found it.
Why You’re Using Notebook LM Wrong
Most people treat Notebook LM like a glorified file cabinet.
They dump random content in and expect results.
But Notebook LM is not about dumping — it’s about stacking.
The real power comes from something I call the Source Stacking System.
It’s a five-layer framework that makes Notebook LM think like you.
Let’s walk through it.
Layer 1: Foundation Sources
These are your internal documents.
Your playbooks, SOPs, client onboarding checklists, and company policies.
Upload these first.
This gives Notebook LM a foundation — your business DNA.
For example, in my own Google Notebook LM Guide, I uploaded my Sales SOP.
Now when I ask, “How should my team respond when a client says they already have an SEO agency?” — Notebook LM gives me three winning answers, pulled directly from our real sales calls.
No fluff.
No guessing.
Just proven responses that already work.
Layer 2: Expertise Sources
This is where Notebook LM gets smarter.
Upload the content that made you an expert — books, research papers, and course notes.
If you’re an SEO, add articles from Moz, Ahrefs, or Google’s Search Central.
If you’re in real estate, upload contracts and property management guides.
The goal: feed Notebook LM with the same material that shaped your expertise.
Now your assistant doesn’t just repeat information — it understands it.
Layer 3: Customer Sources
Next, upload what your customers say.
Testimonials, reviews, sales call transcripts, and FAQs.
This helps Notebook LM learn your customers’ pain points, objections, and desires.
When I uploaded client feedback to my Notebook LM setup, I could instantly generate new email angles, video scripts, and outreach templates that used the exact language my customers used.
This is one of the most powerful layers in this Google Notebook LM Guide.
Your customers give you the data — Notebook LM helps you turn it into content that converts.
Layer 4: Content Sources
Now add your videos, blogs, and podcasts.
Notebook LM lets you link YouTube URLs and websites directly.
This means you can train your AI assistant on everything you’ve already created.
It can summarize your videos, repurpose them into articles, or even generate podcast scripts automatically.
In my own setup, I used Notebook LM to take an old training video and turn it into a brand-new course outline — all automatically.
This is the real hidden superpower in this Google Notebook LM Guide.
Layer 5: Competitive Sources
Finally, upload what your competitors are doing.
Their websites, ads, pricing pages, and reports.
When you combine these five layers, you’ve got a complete AI business brain.
Foundation.
Expertise.
Customer.
Content.
Competition.
Each layer strengthens the others.
And when stacked correctly, Notebook LM becomes your own private researcher who knows everything about your niche.
Creating AI Training and Content Automatically
Once your sources are stacked, Notebook LM can generate audio and video directly from your documents.
You can turn your playbooks into podcasts with two AI hosts discussing your content.
Or generate training videos for your team automatically — no camera needed.
When I tested this for my sales training notebook, Notebook LM created a podcast episode teaching my team how to handle objections.
It pulled the best lines from our transcripts, added narration, and even cited where it found the information.
It’s like having a content team working 24/7 — for free.
Automating Your Onboarding With Notebook LM
Let’s say a new client signs up.
Normally, you’d spend hours walking them through onboarding steps.
But with Notebook LM, you can automate that too.
Upload your welcome emails, setup guides, and FAQs.
Then prompt:
“A new client just signed up. Walk them through the first seven days step by step.”
Notebook LM generates a detailed, personalized plan instantly.
That’s why this Google Notebook LM Guide is such a game changer — it’s not just about information, it’s about automation.
Overcoming the “AI Doesn’t Work for Me” Myth
Some people still say, “I tried AI tools and they didn’t work.”
The truth?
Every tool works when you learn to use it properly.
Notebook LM is no different.
It’s not about the tool — it’s about the system.
If you commit to the 30-day plan I built for my team, you’ll have your AI assistant running before the month ends.
Upload one layer per week.
Ask real business questions.
Keep refining your prompts.
Winners make tools work. Losers make excuses.
This Google Notebook LM Guide helps you become the former.
Common Limiting Beliefs (And How to Fix Them)
“My business is too unique for AI.”
The truth: the more unique your business, the better Notebook LM works — because it learns from your documents.
“AI is just a trend.”
AI isn’t a phase. It’s the biggest shift in how humans work since the internet.
“I’m too old or not techy enough.”
If you can send an email, you can use Notebook LM.
Upload your files. Ask questions. That’s it.
