Mita Releases China’s NotebookLM — AI Helps Me Reclaim Knowledge From My Teachers
One Step Closer to Leaving Traditional Note-Taking Behind

The Ongoing Shift in My Knowledge System
Here we go again—restructuring my knowledge system.
Maybe this is just the growing pain of going paperless:
- After endless typing, I crave handwriting.
- After endless typing, I want to try voice input.
Recently, NotebookLM gained fresh attention through its integration with Nano Banana Pro to create PPT slides—leading to new ways of building personal notes and knowledge bases.
After studying the setups of ListenHub, Zhang Zhala, Xiangyang Qiaomu, and various overseas bloggers, I distilled several key principles.

There’s No Perfect System
> The best solution is the one that suits you.
No method can fully transfer all information without loss—you only need what’s truly useful.
I’m a natural tinkerer:
Markdown → Yuque → Evernote → Notion → Feishu + TickTick.
In the past two weeks, I’ve started experimenting with settling into NotebookLM + Metaso AI Search.
These two tools complement each other remarkably well.

Redefining “Knowledge”
Every migration is also decluttering. Remember:
- Files are not knowledge
- Hundreds of GB of tutorials on a hard drive only become knowledge once studied and reviewed.
Previously, I assumed that storing information = learning, but the CS231N video series proved otherwise. Despite its professionalism, I kept letting it pile up without structure.
The question now is:
- Do I watch it start-to-finish?
- Or let AI pinpoint the updates?

Inputting Materials into Knowledge Islands
My current habit: dynamically collect
- Research papers
- Product updates
- Technical updates about Agents
- Tutorials and conference releases
Recent tests show:
- PDFs & video subtitles = strongest capture accuracy
- Web content = more prone to plugin failures due to external links/styles
- Audio/video: via local files, web links, or plugin uploads
- Web/plugin: saves keyframe screenshots + subtitles
- Local: watch full video inside Secret Tower
Longest successful test: 1.5 hours video, <1GB.

Quiz Mode for Video Learning
Secret Tower’s quiz module changes the game:
- Reinforce learning after videos
- Stop relying solely on AI summarization or replaying timelines
- Keyframes, timelines, subtitles all built-in

Sharing Knowledge Islands
You can:
- Make them public
- Let visitors chat with your AI persona about the contents
- Offer paid subscriptions

Escaping “Digital Hamster Syndrome”
After subscribing to nearly 20 note-taking apps, I realized:
- I spent more time librarian-ing than learning
- Classified PDFs rarely got opened again
- Perfect organization ≠ actual knowledge absorption
Secret Tower’s Knowledge Island shifts me from being a file collector to a curious student:
- Materials “talk” to me
- They answer my questions
- They interact like a live teacher
I no longer need the perfect classification system or massive untouched libraries.

The “Tower Teacher” Concept
Imagine a room you can enter anytime, where a Tower Teacher understands all your materials:
- No “returning knowledge to the teacher” feeling
- Ask questions when needed
- Study relevant materials in context
Far more impactful than hundreds of dusty bookmarks.
