I haven’t tried this so I can’t say how well it works.  It does sound interesting though…

It makes sense on paper - if you want to get better using a technology, focus on improving your technology skill-set(s).

Question

I have a file with a .csv extension that I want to use as a source with NotebookLM.  When I go to upload it, I can’t see the file.  I thought that I could use CSVs with NotebookLM.  Can you help?~ Anonymous

I like to use AI tools like Gemini, ChatGPT, etc. for tasks that I know how to do well.  Really well.

If you’ve never heard of the Feynman Technique, it focuses on having you teach something simply (as if explaining it to a child) and identifying gaps in your knowledge.  

We get asked this question a lot, and we see it even more often out in the wild.

Why do I keep getting a source import failed message when I try to upload my sources to NotebookLM?~ Anonymous

Using modern AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, etc. is a skill (a lot of skills actually).  That means that you will not be good initially, AND that you can get better, but you have to put in work.  

This is a common reason why people refuse to use AI tools like ChatGPT.

You can use prompt frameworks to save even more time with AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, Claude, etc.
