PRZEM — NotebookLM Prompt Generator

NotebookLM is Google's AI research tool that turns your uploaded documents into AI-generated outputs — podcasts, videos, slide decks, infographics, and reports — grounded entirely in your sources.

This tool builds the steering prompt — the instruction set you paste into NotebookLM before generating. A well-built prompt is the difference between a generic result and one that sounds exactly like you asked for it.

● Audio ● Video ● Infographic ● Slide Deck ● Report

Choose your output type above — Audio, Video, Infographic, Slide Deck, or Report.

Fill in your topic, audience, and focus. Topic Summary is the most important field — the more specific, the better the output.

Hit Generate Prompt. Your steering prompt is built and ready to copy.

Paste it into NotebookLM's customization field before generating your output. The limit is 10,000 characters — the counter tracks this in real time.

Topic

Title?The name of your topic. Appears as the heading in the generated prompt.

Category?Helps set context — e.g. Health / Wellness, Business / Strategy, Finance / Tax.

Target Audience?Be specific. “California seniors 65+ filing their own taxes” beats “general audience” every time. Specificity drives output quality.

Topic Summary?The engine of the prompt. Summarize the key ideas, arguments, or facts you want covered. 2–4 focused sentences. The more specific, the better the output.

Focus Angle?Narrows the scope. What specific lens or question should the output address? e.g. “How to implement these protocols in daily life”

Audio Options

Duration?Maps directly to NotebookLM's built-in length controls. Short = ~5 min, Default = ~10 min, Long = ~20 min.

Format?Debate: one enthusiastic host, one skeptical. Conversational: natural back-and-forth. Interview: expert Q&A. Deep Dive: thorough single-topic exploration.

Notes

Additional Notes?Tone guidelines, examples to include, things to avoid, terminology preferences, cultural or regional considerations.

Advanced Options

Source Priority?Reference specific document titles from your NB notebook to weight certain sources. e.g. “Prioritize the Q3 report PDF over the blog posts.”

Role / Persona?Give NotebookLM a character — “friendly teacher”, “podcast host”, “financial advisor”. Dramatically changes tone and style.

Visual Style?Describe the overall look and feel you want — e.g. “Clean, modern, editorial with warm color tones.”

Safety Callouts?Topics that require specific warnings. e.g. “Include medical disclaimers” or “Add battery safety warnings under the VEX section.”
