Question

What is a way to use NotebookLM that I haven’t thought of?

Answer

Hello,

This is extra challenging because I don’t know who you are or what you know…

I do like a challenge, though, so let’s see how I do.

You can use NotebookLM to create a knowledge base for your home appliances and electronics.

Upload -

• • Manuals and user guides
  • Installation instructions
  • Maintenance schedules
  • Troubleshooting guides and error code references
  • Replacement part information
  • Warranty documents
  • Etc.

Every time you get something new (blender, washing machine, computer, etc.), add its documentation to the knowledge base base.

Now, whenever something goes wrong, you can ask “what does this error code mean on my blender?” or “Is the refrigerator still under warranty?”

You can create maintenance calendars and do all kinds of things.  

I haven’t seen anyone else talk about doing this so, hopefully, you haven’t thought of this yet, mystery question-asker.

Thanks for the question
