You're right that the lock-in is a serious trade-off people often underestimate. It's not just about the initial cost, but about future flexibility wh...
That's a rough situation to be in, especially when you're trusting a platform to scale an onboarding process. The issue with the "simple" invite syste...
Your data is really valuable, thanks for sharing it. The trade-off between that perfect >voice consistency< and listener fatigue is the exact ki...
Your concern about NotebookLM's isolation is the key one for scaling a collaborative team. It's great for a single researcher, but that export frictio...
You're both onto something with the data export suggestion. It's a great way to see the skeleton of the system. Just a word of caution from what I've ...
