Hold onto your hats, —I’ve stumbled into a rabbit hole of creativity with Google’s Notebook LM, and I’m not coming out anytime soon. This isn’t just another AI tool; it’s a Swiss Army knife for the curious mind. 🤯
Forget wrestling with complex prompts or sifting through AI hallucinations. Notebook LM cuts through the noise like a laser. Here’s why I’m obsessed:
But here’s the kicker: What else can it do? I’ve only scratched the surface, and my brain is buzzing with possibilities.
After hosting a Masterclass for Hacienda Members (shoutout to Carlos Diaz’s Silicon Carne community!), I realized: We’re all just pioneers in this AI frontier. Here’s how participants are bending Notebook LM to their will—and where your imagination could take it next:
🔹 Turn Any Document Into a Podcast Studio
Upload a snooze-worthy report → Generate FAQs → Spin it into a bilingual audio conversation (oui, en français too!). Suddenly, your team’s quarterly review becomes a Netflix-worthy podcast series. 🎙️
🔹 Crush Job Interviews Like a Spy
Scrape every blog, news piece, and LinkedIn post about a company → Extract hidden patterns → Simulate a CEO’s mindset. What secrets would you uncover? 🕵️♂️
🔹 Become a News Alchemist
Dump 50 articles on climate tech into Notebook LM → “Hey, summarize this like a debate between Elon Musk and Greta Thunberg.” Boom—your weekly press review just went viral. 📰
🔹 Academic Research on Steroids (legal ones)
PhD students, imagine: Upload 100 PDFs → Ask, “Where are the gaps in this theory?” → Notebook LM maps a roadmap for your thesis. Could this redefine academia? 🎓
🔹 Creative Brainstorming Sidekick
Stuck on a novel plot? Feed it mythology texts + sci-fi tropes → “Generate 10 twists no one’s seen.” Plot holes? Never heard of ’em. ✍️
…But wait, there’s more. What if you used it to:
As my GrandMa used to say to me, stop talking just do it! The theory is nice on paper, but look at how the world is transforming the way we create and work. So why ask, like my sister 10 questions to me before trying Gamma AI when she needs it? The time you question, you don't learn your lesson, so for any new process, tools, or ideas, just give a try, you will save time, and money and learn something that will be useful on time.
Not convinced yet?
On my side and all by myself, I have created 14 podcast episodes (5 up to 30 min) in less than a month, using Notebook LM.
Got very excited with all the results I got, because, for companies adopting my methodology to repurpose existing content, extract essential pieces of information, making a list of questions, it spares their time and structures their focus.
If you have like ten minutes to kill when you are in your car or in your flight to Dubai, listen to one of the episodes.

Tips to create content with efficiency
DeepDive was created from my YouTube video where I share how you can create smart content for LinkedIn and beyond! 1 topic 10 contents. The video was recorded in French and then turned into a conversation with NoteBookLM...
To do what I did, all you need is some sources, like a pdf document, a YouTube video URL, Website URL, and an account on Spotify as a Creator.
I’ve shared free guide (in English) breaking down these hacks. Want them? Ping me! (Francophiles only—désolée ! 😜)
Below is the screen capture proving I am working with Gamma A.I to make presentations faster than with Canva and many other tools, I have tried but none of them beat the best alternative to Canva and PowerPoint.

🚨 EASTER EGG BONUS! LinkedIn’s Secret Metrics Are Here… And They’re Juicy!
Hold up—LinkedIn just leveled up its newsletter game. 📊 For months, creators begged for better analytics, and guess what? They’re finally sharing precise metrics, including email open rates! (Spoiler: I myself hit a 33% open rate—yes, THIRTY-THREE—by sticking to a razor-sharp editorial strategy. 🎯)
Newsletters aren’t just “nice to have” anymore. They’re growth engines. Clients who’ve doubled down on a consistent, value-packed editorial line are seeing wild results:
The secret? Newsletters—they’re sharing valuable informations to the right audience at the right time and with clear intention.
Want to hit that 33% benchmark? Use Notebook LM to:
🔹 Brainstorm headline gold → Upload your past posts + viral LinkedIn threads → “Generate 10 hooks that blend curiosity and controversy.”
🔹 Reverse-engineer success → Feed it your top-performing newsletters → “Analyze tonal patterns and suggest 5 new angles.”
🔹 A/B test before publishing → Draft two versions → “Which intro is more likely to make readers DM me?”
Pro tip: Pair this with LinkedIn’s new metrics to track what actually converts—not just vanity numbers.
If your clients (or you!) aren’t leveraging newsletters yet, here’s your nudge:

PPS: New LinkedIn metrics + Notebook LM = your unfair advantage. Go claim it. 🔥
