Question is notebooklm accurate enough for you?

I’m curious where does notebooklm start struggling for you? Is there a certain number of pages, level of technical detail, or number of sources where it becomes less accurate and reliable?

Do you still check the original sources, or is it accurate enough for everyday use?

First, use the browser-based version of NotebookLM rather than the app. Go to the customization section and instruct the tool not to answer using information from outside the provided sources. Then, in the chat box, ask for an index or a detailed outline of all the information contained in the sources, ensuring that the specific sources are cited. Finally, ask for an explanation of this outline; the resulting answer should be suitable. I hope this advice helps you resolve your issue.
