🔥 10 Advanced NotebookLM Prompts + Ready-to-Use Examples
1. Dialectical Debate Lens
"From these sources, construct a debate between two imaginary scholars who interpret [concept/argument] in completely opposing ways. What evidence from the texts would each use to support their view? Highlight key contradictions."
2. Disillusionment Filter
"Analyze [idea/concept] from the perspective of someone who once strongly believed it but is now disillusioned. What caused the change? How would they reinterpret the original passages?"
3. Anti-Thesis Exploration
"Take the central thesis in these sources and explore its complete opposite. What would the author need to prove to defend the reverse? Are there any unintentional hints in the text supporting the anti-thesis?"
4. Spider Web Connections
"Map out the web of interconnected ideas around [core concept]. What assumptions, implications, challenges or dependencies does it silently touch? Show how they link across sources."
5. Skeptical Journalist Interview
"Imagine the author is interviewed by a highly skeptical journalist. List 8 tough questions the journalist would ask, then answer them using evidence from the sources."
6. Unreliable Narrator Analysis
"Assume the author/narrator is unreliable. What biases, blind spots or agendas might they have? Re-analyze the section — what hidden contradictions or power dynamics emerge?"
7. Cultural / Philosophical Mirror
"Reinterpret [idea] in a completely different cultural/philosophical context (e.g. Stoic, Sufi, Postmodern). Would it still hold? Rewrite key arguments from that viewpoint."
8. What-If Real-World Scenario
"Apply [central idea] to a current real-world dilemma. Trace intended outcomes, unintended consequences, and ethical implications step-by-step."
9. Future Scholar Critique
"A century from now, a scholar reviews this work. What would they criticize as outdated? What would they praise as revolutionary or prescient? Support with source evidence."
10. Multi-Lens Fragmentation
"Break [idea/concept] into emotional, philosophical, psychological, and social dimensions. How does each lens interpret it? Where do they clash or overlap? Use source quotes."
