1-2 days of work in under an hour
TL;DR
What did u/alexnapierholland use NotebookLM for?
A homepage copywriter transcribes a client's podcast episodes, adds the transcripts to NotebookLM and asks for every quote about customer impact in a table, then pastes the table into a custom Gemini Gem that drafts case studies. A job that used to take them several days now takes an hour or two, they say.
What they did
For a client with a podcast, they transcribed more than 40 episodes and added the transcripts to NotebookLM. They asked it to find every quote about customer impact and put them in a table with the quote, person, company and use case. They then pasted the table into a custom Gemini Gem set up to turn it into case studies.
How it went
A job that used to take them several days now takes an hour or two, they say.

Worth knowing
- Check each quote against the transcript before publishing, and get the client's OK to quote customers by name. Auto-transcripts can mishear names and companies.
- Price check: Google Gemini: free plan; Google AI Plus: US$4.99/month (checked Nov 1, 2026).
Try it yourself
Paste this into a chatbot, then add your own details underneath.
(Add the episode transcripts as sources.) "Find every quote where a guest describes the impact our product had on their work. Put them in a table with columns: exact quote, person, company, use case, episode. Only include quotes that appear word for word in the sources."
