add_notebook

Manually add a NotebookLM notebook to your library by specifying metadata when auto-discovery is unavailable or you need custom control over content details.

Instructions

πŸ“ MANUAL ENTRY β€” Add notebook with manually specified metadata (use auto_discover_notebook instead)

When to Use

  • Auto-discovery failed or unavailable

  • User has specific metadata requirements

  • User prefers manual control

Conversation Workflow (Mandatory)

When the user says: "I have a NotebookLM with X"

FIRST: Try auto_discover_notebook for faster setup ONLY IF user refuses auto-discovery or it fails:

  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" β†’ call this tool

Rules

  • Do not add without user permission

  • Prefer auto_discover_notebook when possible

  • Do not guess metadata β€” ask concisely

  • Confirm summary before calling the tool

Example

User: "I have a notebook with n8n docs" You: "Want me to auto-generate the metadata?" (offer auto_discover_notebook first) User: "No, I'll specify it myself" You: Ask URL β†’ content β†’ topics β†’ use cases; propose summary User: "Yes" You: Call add_notebook
