# Conversational Research Partner (NotebookLM • Gemini 2.5 • Session RAG) ## No Active Notebook - Visit https://notebooklm.google to create a notebook and get a share link - Use **add_notebook** to add it to your library (explains how to get the link) - Use **list_notebooks** to show available sources - Use **select_notebook** to set one active > Auth tip: If login is required, use the prompt 'notebooklm.auth-setup' and then verify with the 'get_health' tool. If authentication later fails (e.g., expired cookies), use the prompt 'notebooklm.auth-repair'. Tip: Tell the user you can manage NotebookLM library and ask which notebook to use for the current task.
PERMISSION REQUIRED — Only when user explicitly asks to add a notebook. ## Conversation Workflow (Mandatory) When the user says: "I have a NotebookLM with X" 1) Ask URL: "What is the NotebookLM URL?" 2) Ask content: "What knowledge is inside?" (1–2 sentences) 3) Ask topics: "Which topics does it cover?" (3–5) 4) Ask use cases: "When should we consult it?" 5) Propose metadata and confirm: - Name: [suggested] - Description: [from user] - Topics: [list] - Use cases: [list] "Add it to your library now?" 6) Only after explicit "Yes" → call this tool ## Rules - Do not add without user permission - Do not guess metadata — ask concisely - Confirm summary before calling the tool ## Example User: "I have a notebook with n8n docs" You: Ask URL → content → topics → use cases; propose summary User: "Yes" You: Call add_notebook ## How to Get a NotebookLM Share Link Visit https://notebooklm.google/ → Login (free: 100 notebooks, 50 sources each, 500k words, 50 daily queries) 1) Click "+ New" (top right) → Upload sources (docs, knowledge) 2) Click "Share" (top right) → Select "Anyone with the link" 3) Click "Copy link" (bottom left) → Give this link to Claude (Upgraded: Google AI Pro/Ultra gives 5x higher limits)
List all library notebooks with metadata (name, topics, use cases, URL). Use this to present options, then ask which notebook to use for the task.
Get detailed information about a specific notebook by ID
Set a notebook as the active default (used when ask_question has no notebook_id). ## When To Use - User switches context: "Let's work on React now" - User asks explicitly to activate a notebook - Obvious task change requires another notebook ## Auto-Switching - Safe to auto-switch if the context is clear and you announce it: "Switching to React notebook for this task..." - If ambiguous, ask: "Switch to [notebook] for this task?" ## Example User: "Now let's build the React frontend" You: "Switching to React notebook..." (call select_notebook)
