## The prompt

```
Generate a comprehensive FAQ from this notebook.

Anticipate the 15 questions a smart newcomer would actually ask after skimming these sources. Group them as:
- Beginner (5)
- Intermediate (5)
- Advanced (5)

For each question:
- Answer in 2–4 sentences, grounded entirely in the notebook.
- Cite the source the answer is drawn from.
- If the sources don't cover the question, say "Not covered in current sources" instead of guessing.
```

## How to use it

1. Open your notebook at notebooklm.google.com.
2. Replace the [bracketed] parts with your specifics.
3. Paste the prompt into the chat box and send it.

Square brackets mark the parts you replace with your own topic or question.
