TL;DR

What did Kev (@kevteachesai) use NotebookLM for?

Instead of a summary nobody follows, a trainer asked NotebookLM for a short quiz built only from a company policy, then used the questions people got wrong as a quick team briefing. The quiz showed three steps people were skipping: the approval threshold, receipt timing and the vendor code lookup.

What they did

They uploaded a company's standard operating procedure to NotebookLM and asked for a 12-question training quiz for new hires, with one correct answer, three wrong answers and a one-line correction for each question, using only that document. They then turned the wrong answers into a five-minute briefing for the team. They ran it on a 22-page purchasing policy.

How it went

The quiz showed three steps people were skipping: the approval threshold, receipt timing and the vendor code lookup.

"The quiz made the gaps visible in one pass."

Worth knowing

  • The quiz is only as current as the document you upload, so use the latest version of the policy. Read through the questions before sharing them, since a wrong answer key would teach the wrong step.

Try it yourself

Paste this into a chatbot, then add your own details underneath.

Using only the uploaded policy, make a 12-question training quiz for new hires. Give each question one correct answer and three wrong answers, plus a one-line correction that quotes the policy. Then list the steps in the policy that are easiest to miss, and turn them into a five-minute briefing I can read to the team.
