I didn't even know you could use NotebookLM for analysis like that. I've only used it as an interrogatable index up till now, but as I keep hitting compacting limits on Claude I may try NotebookLM instead.

Notebook now has Gemini built in.

Gemini has just been telling me exactly that, convincingly enough that I'm going to try my next coding project in Google AI Studio instead of Claude.

I will admit, I haven't used AI for coding at all. Although I've dabbled with Claude and ChatGPT, my go-to has been Perplexity for one-off questions and Gemini for pretty much everything else text-based.

yeah, that's the right way to use AI. Fascinating.

Yup - make it artificially dumb. NotebookLM is ideal for this, because you can control exactly which sources it's using at any one time.
