source-grounded research notebookGemini Notebook: uses, limits and practical trial
Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM) works with sources added to a notebook. Imports are copies: its documentation explains that sources may need synchronization or reimporting after the original changes.

Suitable tasks
Explore a set of reports, prepare a synthesis or find useful passages in a defined corpus. Select relevant documents and remove obsolete versions first.
Limits and checks
A citation helps verify an answer but does not automatically validate its interpretation. Tables, notes or material not imported may be missing. Check notebook sharing permissions too.
A repeatable trial
Import two public documents disagreeing on a date. Request a table of claims and sources. Open every cited passage, then change an original document to check how updates are handled.
How to decide
Choose this approach when you can maintain a current corpus and check citations. For web monitoring, add an explicit source discovery and update process.
Frequently asked questions
Are imported documents always current?
No. Check synchronization rules for each source type and reimport when needed.
Is a citation enough evidence?
Read the original passage and verify it supports the exact claim, including qualifications and date.
