AI Quick Tips 360: Follow-up questions in NotebookLM chats

A graphic title card on a dark blue background. On the left is an orange robot head with a speech bubble containing the text 'AI'. To the right is a light blue circle containing the words 'Quick Tips'.

If you’ve used NotebookLM before then you probably know that the general flow is -

  • Create a notebook
  • Add sources
  • Either
    • Create artifacts from your sources or
    • Chat with your sources

 

If you haven’t used NotebookLM before (or you didn’t know the flow of things), now you know…

 

Recently, they’ve updated the chat section to offer click-ready questions after you ask something. It looks like they use AI to scan your sources and whatever you asked and then list the likely next things. Here is what it looks like -NotebookLM chat user interface showing three automated, click-ready follow-up questions: "What are the core rules of the Unix philosophy?", "How did the 1990s change Unix programming culture?", and "Why is the 'Rule of Silence' important in design?"

 

These will also show up under the notebook summary at the top of the chat section.

 

You’ll have to play around with them so you can decide if you think that they are helpful or not. Honestly, for me they get in the way more than they help. If I am using chat, I know what I want to ask and the questions just take up extra space.

 

(Because the question has come up) I do not know how to disable the feature.
