Deep Research via NotebookLM
Research $ARGUMENTS deeply using the NotebookLM MCP server and deliver a structured research brief. Optionally generate studio artifacts (slides, audio podcasts, videos, infographics, reports, mind maps) from the research.
Prerequisites

nlm setup add claude-code - If NotebookLM MCP tools are not available, tell the user to run the setup command and restart their session.
Research Workflow
Step 1: Define Scope
Determine the research type based on the user's request:
| Type | Focus |
|---|---|
| Market Research | Industry trends, market sizing, opportunities, TAM/SAM/SOM |
| Competitive Intel | Competitor analysis, positioning gaps, feature comparisons |
| Client/Prospect Research | Company background, pain points, decision makers, recent news |
| Trend Analysis | Technology trends, adoption patterns, forecasts, emerging players |
| Proposal Research | Background for proposals, sector-specific data, case studies |
| Academic/Technical | Papers, frameworks, methodologies, state of the art |
Tell the user what you plan to research and confirm the angle:
"I'll research [topic]. My angle: [specific focus]. I'll investigate: [2-3 specific questions]. Sound right, or should I adjust?"
Wait for confirmation before proceeding.
Step 2: Create NotebookLM Notebook
Use notebook_create to create a notebook named:
Research: [Topic] - [YYYY-MM-DD]
Step 3: Add Context Sources
Use source_add to seed the notebook with relevant context:
- Add any URLs the user provides (articles, company pages, reports)
- Add any documents or files the user references
- Add text summaries of relevant background if no URLs are available
- If researching a company, add their website, LinkedIn, recent press
Step 4: Run Research
Use research_start with a well-crafted query based on the topic and context.
