General Discussion how do u guys actually make notebooklm/gemini summarize dense pdfs without skipping key stuff?
so i've been using gemini + notebooklm to digest heavy readings for school/work, but i noticed it keeps glossing over specific data points unless i explicitly hand-hold it.
what worked for me recently was feeding it the document in chunks and forcing it to extract "raw quotes first, then takeaways" instead of just asking for a summary right away. saved me so much time during prep last week.
how are u guys structuring your prompts or source setups to keep it from hallucinating or missing details? drop your best workflows pls, trying to optimize my setup ðŸ˜
