## Usage Patterns
### Single Expert Consultation
Ask focused questions to get advice from the most relevant expert:
```bash
# Pricing question → routes to Alex Hormozi
"How should I price my B2B SaaS product?"
# SEO question → routes to Neil Patel or Nathan Gotch
"What's the best AI SEO strategy for 2026?"
# Content question → routes to Julia McCoy
"How do I build a consistent content voice?"
```
### Named Expert Request
Explicitly request a specific expert:
```bash
"Ask Alex Hormozi about my offer: [describe your offer]"
"What would Neil Patel say about this landing page conversion issue?"
"Get Greg Isenberg's take on community-led growth for an AI tool"
```
### Multi-Expert Roundtable
Broad strategic questions trigger multiple experts:
```bash
"How should I go to market with a new AI marketing tool?"
# Returns perspectives from Greg Isenberg, Neil Patel, Ryan Doser
"What's the best growth strategy for a bootstrapped SaaS?"
# Returns perspectives from Alex Hormozi, Dan Koe, Growth Tribe
```
## Expert Knowledge Base Structure
Each expert has two components:
### 1. NotebookLM Brain (Raw Retrieval)
```bash
# 200-300 YouTube videos per expert
# Indexed in NotebookLM Pro (300 sources/notebook)
# Zero information loss from original content
```
### 2. Persona Protocol (Personality)
Located in `expert_kb.md` for each expert:
```markdown
## Role
Who the expert is, their background, core expertise
## Thinking Models
Frameworks they use (e.g., Hormozi's Value Equation, AARRR funnel)
## Tone & Communication
How they speak, teaching style, personality markers
## Anti-Patterns
What they avoid, common mistakes they call out
## Retrieval Logic
How to search their NotebookLM notebook effectively
```
## Anti-Hallucination Protocol
The panel follows strict retrieval rules:
1. **Retrieve first**: Must search NotebookLM before generating responses
2. **Dual verification**: Cross-reference retrieval with KB persona
3. **Explicit marking**: Extrapolations from core principles marked with ⚠️
4. **Never fabricate**: If an expert hasn't covered a topic, say so
Example output structure:
```markdown
**Alex Hormozi's Perspective:**
[Retrieved content from NotebookLM]
Framework: Value Equation
- Dream Outcome: [specific to your question]
- Perceived Likelihood: [specific analysis]
- Time Delay: [specific analysis]
- Effort & Sacrifice: [specific analysis]
⚠️ *Extrapolating from core principles:* [only if needed]
```
## Distilling Your Own Expert
Use the `distill_anyone.md` prompt template:
```bash
# 1. Copy the prompt from distill_anyone.md
# 2. Change 3 variables:
# - Expert name
# - YouTube channel/playlist URL
# - Domain expertise
# 3. Run in Claude Code
# The pipeline automatically:
# - Collects YouTube URLs with yt-dlp
# - Creates NotebookLM notebook
# - Bulk adds videos with notebooklm-py
# - Generates Persona Protocol KB
# - Creates semantic routing rules
```
### Variables to Configure
```bash
EXPERT_NAME="Your Expert"
YOUTUBE_SOURCE="https://youtube.com/@channel or playlist URL"
DOMAIN="their core expertise area"
```
## Key Commands
### Query the Panel
```bash
# General query (auto-routes)
"[Your marketing question]"
# Named expert
"Ask [Expert Name] about [topic]"
# Multi-expert
"Get a roundtable on [strategic question]"
```
### Inspect Expert Knowledge
```bash
# List all experts and domains
"Show me the expert panel"
# View expert frameworks
"What frameworks does Alex Hormozi use?"
# Check NotebookLM coverage
"How many videos are indexed for Neil Patel?"
```
## Configuration
### Language Support
Responses automatically match your query language. Framework names stay in English:
```bash
# Query in Spanish → Response in Spanish
"¿Cómo debería fijar el precio de mi SaaS?"
# Query in French → Response in French
"Quelle est la meilleure stratégie SEO?"
```
### Retrieval Depth
Adjust how many NotebookLM sources to search:
```bash
# Default: 5-10 most relevant sources
# Deep research: 20-30 sources (slower, more comprehensive)
# Quick answer: 3-5 sources (faster, still accurate)
```
## Real Code Examples
### Example 1: Pricing Strategy (Alex Hormozi)
**Query:**
```
"How should I price my B2B SaaS with a $10k LTV and 6-month sales cycle?"
```
**Expected Response:**
```markdown
**Alex Hormozi's Pricing Framework:**
[Retrieved from NotebookLM: Hormozi's pricing videos]
**Value Equation Analysis:**
1. Dream Outcome: Enterprise efficiency gain (high)
2. Perceived Likelihood: 6-month cycle = trust-building needed
3. Time Delay: 6 months is long → charge more upfront
4. Effort & Sacrifice: Implementation complexity matters
**Pricing Recommendation:**
- Annual contract: $5,000-$7,500/year
- Upfront discount: 20% off for annual vs monthly
- Reduce time delay perception: 30-day quick wins
- Stack value: Implementation support included
**Hormozi's Principle:** "Charge for the dream outcome, not your cost"
```
### Example 2: SEO Strategy (Neil Patel + Nathan Gotch)
**Query:**
```
"What's the best AI SEO strategy for a new marketing tool in 2026?"
```
**Expected Response:**
```markdown
**Neil Patel's Take:**
[Retrieved content about AI content + E-E-A-T]
- Focus on helpful content, not just keywords
- Build topical authority clusters
- Optimize for Google's AI Overviews
**Nathan Gotch's SEO Approach:**
[Retrieved content about Search Everywhere Optimization]
- SEO = Search Everywhere Optimization now
- Target YouTube, LinkedIn, Reddit, not just Google
- Use AI to create platform-specific content variants
**Combined Strategy:**
1. Build content cluster on "AI marketing automation"
2. Create YouTube tutorials (ranks in Google + YouTube)
3. Repurpose to LinkedIn thought leadership
4. Use Reddit for community validation signals
```
### Example 3: Community-Led Growth (Greg Isenberg)
**Query:**
```
"How do I build community around my AI productivity tool?"
```
**Expected Response:**
```markdown
**Greg Isenberg's Community Framework:**
[Retrieved from NotebookLM: Community-building videos]
**Phase 1: Vibe Check (Month 1-2)**
- Find where your ideal users already hang out
- Join conversations, don't pitch
- Identify the "energy" — what gets them excited?
**Phase 2: Minimum Viable Community (Month 3)**
- Discord or Slack, not Facebook
- 1 channel: #wins (social proof flywheel)
- You post first 20 wins yourself if needed
**Phase 3: Community-Led Product**
- Ship features the community requests
- Give power users early access
- Make them feel like co-creators
**Greg's Key Insight:** "Community isn't a channel, it's a moat"
```
## Common Patterns
### Pattern 1: Multi-Stage Funnel Question
```bash
# Question spans multiple domains
"I need help with my SaaS go-to-market: offer, SEO, and community"
# Response includes:
# - Alex Hormozi: Offer positioning
# - Neil Patel: SEO strategy
# - Greg Isenberg: Community layer
```
### Pattern 2: Framework Deep-Dive
```bash
# Request specific framework
"Explain Alex Hormozi's Value Equation for my use case"
# Response:
# - Retrieves original explanation from NotebookLM
# - Maps framework to your specific scenario
# - Includes anti-patterns from KB
```
### Pattern 3: Comparative Analysis
```bash
# Compare expert approaches
"How would Dan Koe vs Alex Hormozi approach pricing a course?"
# Response:
# - Dan Koe: Personal brand, premium positioning, audience relationship
# - Alex Hormozi: Value equation, enterprise pricing, sales frameworks
# - Synthesis: When to use each approach
```
## Troubleshooting
### Issue: Generic or Vague Response
**Problem:** Response doesn't sound like the expert
**Solution:**
- Check if question is in expert's domain
- Request named expert explicitly
- Ask for specific framework by name
```bash
# Instead of: "How do I market?"
# Try: "Ask Alex Hormozi: How should I position my offer using the Value Equation?"
```
### Issue: No Retrieval Evidence
**Problem:** Response lacks [Retrieved from NotebookLM] markers
**Solution:**
- Expert may not have covered this topic
- Reframe question to match expert's known content areas
- Check expert domain table above
### Issue: Multi-Expert Overload
**Problem:** Too many perspectives for a simple question
**Solution:**
- Ask for single expert
- Rephrase as focused question
```bash
# Instead of: "How do I grow?"
# Try: "What's Neil Patel's SEO strategy for [specific use case]?"
```
### Issue: Outdated Framework
**Problem:** Expert's content is from 2023-2024
**Solution:**
- Ask for principles, not tactics
- Request ⚠️ extrapolation for 2026 context
```bash
"What would Neil Patel's SEO principles be for 2026, given AI Overviews?"
```
## Advanced Usage
### Combine with Your Context
```bash
# Provide your specific situation
"Here's my SaaS: [details]. Ask Alex Hormozi how to price it."
# Attach data
"My conversion rate is 2%. Ask Neil Patel to audit my funnel."
```
### Sequential Expert Consultation
```bash
# Step 1: Offer with Hormozi
"Alex Hormozi: Review my offer"
# Step 2: Traffic with Neil Patel
"Neil Patel: Now how do I drive traffic to this offer?"
# Step 3: Community with Greg Isenberg
"Greg Isenberg: Should I add a community layer?"
```
### Export Expert Advice
```bash
# Generate structured output
"Create a marketing strategy doc consulting:
- Alex Hormozi for offer
- Neil Patel for SEO
- Greg Isenberg for community"
# Output: Markdown doc with all expert perspectives organized
```
