• Include a structured brief with specific questions or angles
• Limit to 10-15 high-quality sources per notebook

Content Generation

• Use specific prompts that reference your sources directly
• Request specific output formats (listicle, comparison, deep-dive)
• Iterate by adding follow-up questions to refine outputs
