NotebookLM Publisher

Wave: 7 (Publishing) Type: Post-hook (no text skills or visual assets) Depends on: Wave 6 (all brand outputs complete)

What It Does

Transforms all brandmint pipeline outputs into a Google NotebookLM notebook and generates 5 branded artifacts:

Artifact	Type	Format	Est. Time
Brand Overview Deck	slide-deck	PDF	5-15 min
Product Showcase Deck	slide-deck	PDF	5-15 min
Audio Overview	audio	MP3	10-20 min
Brand Report	report	Markdown	5-15 min
Mind Map	mind-map	JSON	<1 min

How It Works

1. Source Building: Reads .brandmint/outputs/*.json (16 skill outputs) and brand-config.yaml, converts them into 5 structured markdown documents optimised for NotebookLM processing

2. Notebook Creation: Creates a "{Brand} — Brand Intelligence" notebook in NotebookLM and uploads the 5 source documents

3. Artifact Generation: Generates artifacts with brand-specific instructions that inject colours, typography, voice/tone, and positioning data

4. Parallel Execution: Mind map first (instant), then decks + report in parallel (3 workers), then audio (sequential). Total ~25 min wall time.

5. Download: All artifacts downloaded to deliverables/notebooklm/artifacts/

Prerequisites

pip install notebooklm-py    # or: pip install 'brandmint[publishing]'
notebooklm login             # Google OAuth — opens browser

Usage

Via pipeline (Wave 7)

bm launch --config brand-config.yaml --waves 1-7

Standalone

bm publish notebooklm --config brand-config.yaml
bm publish notebooklm --config brand-config.yaml --dry-run
bm publish notebooklm --config brand-config.yaml --artifacts audio-overview,mind-map
bm publish notebooklm --config brand-config.yaml --force

Idempotency

State is persisted at .brandmint/notebooklm-state.json. Re-running the command skips already-completed steps (sources already indexed, artifacts already downloaded). Use --force to start fresh.
