- I've created a Google NotebookLM notebook for my 2025 day notes. Turns out that how Old School generates monthly index files works well as sources to NotebookLM. All I did was add the URL to the monthly index page, like this one for May, as a source to the notebook, and that enables me to ask questions about my writing. I intend to see whether this will work in a manner similar to search for my writing. For now I am not going to share this publicly.#
- If Google enabled RSS feeds to be a source for NotebookLM and that had the ability to get updates then one could have a notebook in which to be able query their latest writing. I tried using the RSS feed for my micro.blog but that is a JSON file that is not a valid source for NotebookLM. Given that at some point in time Google will monetize NotebookLM, I think it's probable that URL structured data like JSON will be a valid source if you have a subscription. Feeds are a constantly flow of information going in to NotebookLM and processing would like significantly increase Google's operating cost of the product. #
