What problem does it solve?
Research materials are scattered across web pages, documents, and Drive files, making it hard to consistently ingest, organize, and query source material; this skill centralizes those sources into NotebookLM notebooks so you can interactively search, summarize, and publish synthesized research and audio outputs.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Bootstrap & Validation: Verifies nlm CLI installation, MCP registration, and Google authentication before any research work.
- Notebook and Source Management: Create, list, describe, rename, and delete notebooks; add URL, text, and Google Drive sources; inspect and sync Drive sources.
- Web Research & Import: Run automated web discovery tasks, monitor task status, and import discovered sources into a target notebook.
- Querying & Outputs: Chat with notebook contents, generate AI summaries, produce audio/podcast artifacts, and export or tag notebooks for cross-notebook workflows.
Quick Start
Use the notebook-research skill to create a NotebookLM notebook, add URLs or Drive files as sources, run web research to discover and import additional sources, and then query the notebook for a synthesized summary.
