The I'm Feeling Curious Feature
NotebookLM also features an 'I'm Feeling Curious' button that works similarly to Google's random search. It will pick a topic at random and find reference sources for you, making it ideal if you want to explore new subjects without having a specific topic in mind.
Source Quality Control Tips
While the AI can automatically find sources (similar to Deep Research), it is highly recommended to vet each imported source and manually add your own references to ensure the resulting report is accurate and comprehensive.
Step by Step
How to Use the Discover Sources Feature in NotebookLM
- Open the NotebookLM app in your web browser.
- Select or create a new Notebook to start your research session.
- Locate and click the 'Discover Sources' button found in the sources management section.
- Enter the topic or subject you want to research into the provided input field.
- Let the AI automatically browse the internet to find, read, and import relevant webpages as reference sources.
- Wait for the AI to finish processing the data to generate a report based on the discovered sources.
- Review the list of automatically imported sources and use the 'Ask Questions' feature to interact with the data.
