Research Smarter: Deep Research with NotebookLM - 7 Oct

Research Smarter: Deep Research with NotebookLM

Moving from general AI use into a specific, powerful research workflow

This hands-on workshop explores how AI can support deeper, more structured research using NotebookLM. Participants will learn how to bring together reports, documents, notes and other source material, interrogate that information using AI, identify themes and connections, and produce useful research outputs while remaining grounded in the original sources. The session will focus on using NotebookLM as part of a real research workflow rather than simply as another chatbot.

Includes: Setting up a NotebookLM research workspace; adding and organising sources; asking better research questions; synthesising multiple documents; identifying patterns, gaps and contradictions; generating summaries and structured outputs; tracing responses back to source material; and exploring how NotebookLM can support literature reviews, market research, programme learning and other MSD research tasks.
