Writing a thesis: have NotebookLM work only from your sources
Put the papers you've read into NotebookLM so it organizes themes and citations from those sources only, instead of inventing papers that don't exist.
Start step 1 ↓The problem
Writing a literature review, you fear two things: not getting through the reading, and AI citing a paper that doesn't exist. NotebookLM answers only from the sources you upload and shows where each answer came from, so it's good for organizing, not ghostwriting.
