  1. 0:00Here's how I use Notebook LM's mind map
  2. 0:02tool to save time. When I was preparing
  3. 0:03for my last ChatGPT video, I added a
  4. 0:06bunch of sources I knew I'd need, but
  5. 0:08it's a waste of time to read through
  6. 0:09everything since most of it won't make
  7. 0:11it into the video. So, instead, I
  8. 0:13generate a mind map and I can instantly
  9. 0:15see every topic and subtopic laid out
  10. 0:17visually, allowing me to cherry-pick the
  11. 0:19ones that actually matter. For example,
  12. 0:21I immediately knew I want to explore 11
  13. 0:24practical techniques further, but
  14. 0:25something like agentic toggles API tips
  15. 0:27would be too technical for my audience.
  16. 0:29So, I skip it. Clicking into 11
  17. 0:31practical techniques opens a chat
  18. 0:32directly, so I went from a bird's-eye
  19. 0:34view to a focused conversation in a
  20. 0:36single click. Follow for more practical
  21. 0:39AI tips.
