Workflow: Bookmarks to NotebookLM Podcasts

Key rule: 1 bookmark = 1 podcast. Generate up to 3 per session.

Each podcast should be:

• ~5 minutes (use audio_length: "short")
• Brief, conversational, easy to understand
• Well-prompted with context about the bookmark content

Steps per bookmark:

1. Create a new NotebookLM notebook with a good descriptive title (not generic)
   • Title format: Topic or key insight from the post (e.g., "Agent Swarm Architecture with OpenClaw")
   • Keep title short and descriptive, no fluff
2. Add the bookmark URL as a source:

   source_add(notebook_id=..., source_type="url", url="[tweet URL]", wait=True)
   

3. For text-only posts (no article link), add as text source:

   source_add(notebook_id=..., source_type="text", text="[full post content]", title="@author - [topic]")
   

4. Generate audio with a focused prompt:

   studio_create(
     notebook_id=...,
     artifact_type="audio",
     audio_format="brief",
     audio_length="short",
     focus_prompt="Explain this topic in simple, easy-to-understand terms. Cover: what it is, why it matters, and key takeaways. Keep it conversational like you're explaining to a smart friend who hasn't seen this yet.",
     confirm=True
   )
   

5. Do NOT wait/poll for audio generation (takes ~10 min). Move on.
6. After ~10 minutes, check studio_status for all 3 notebooks.
7. Once complete, send an email via gmail skill with:
   • Subject: "Your Podcasts Are Ready"
   • List of podcast titles with NotebookLM links
   • Keep it short and clean

Podcast Prompt Template:

Customize the focus_prompt based on bookmark content:

• For articles: "Break down this article's key points in simple terms. What's the main idea, what are the practical takeaways, and why should someone care about this?"
• For tools/products: "Explain what this tool does, how it works, and who it's useful for. Keep it simple and practical."
• For opinions/takes: "Discuss this perspective. What's the argument being made, is it valid, and what are the implications?"
• For tutorials: "Summarize the key techniques and steps from this tutorial. What can someone learn from this?"
