AI agents for NotebookLM
A Monmo agent works with NotebookLM the way a research assistant would. It finds and vets sources, builds a notebook from them, asks the questions you care about, checks each citation against the passage it points to, and writes the findings into a Google Doc or a slide deck. It uses your own Google account and asks before it creates a notebook, adds sources or shares one.

What agents do in NotebookLM
Gather the sources worth reading
Before a market review it finds the reports, Google Docs, web pages and YouTube talks worth including, checks each is current and relevant, and adds them to a new notebook once you approve the list.
AskBuild a notebook on the European heat-pump market: find ten solid sources and show me the list before adding them.
Question a notebook and check the citations
It asks your notebook the questions you care about, opens each cited passage to confirm the answer, and writes up only what the sources support, with the source beside every claim.
AskAsk the Pricing research notebook what customers said about annual plans, and check every citation it gives.
Turn interviews into a briefing
From a notebook of customer interview transcripts it writes a two-page briefing in Google Docs: themes, short quotes with their source, and the questions the interviews leave open.
AskWrite a two-page brief from the Onboarding interviews notebook: top themes, quotes and open questions.
Prepare an Audio Overview for the commute
It proposes the focus for an Audio Overview, such as the three decisions in this month's board pack, generates it once you approve, and saves a written summary next to it.
AskMake an Audio Overview of the board pack notebook focused on the three decisions we need to take.
Keep a notebook's sources current
On the first of each month it checks a notebook's web sources for newer versions, such as an updated pricing page or a new annual report, and proposes which sources to swap.
AskOn the first of each month, check the Competitors notebook for outdated sources and suggest replacements.

AskMake a notebook from our product docs for the new support hire, then draft a study guide and ten questions.
How it connects
- 1You connect your own Google account once. Notebooks stay in that account, and if you use NotebookLM through Google Workspace, your admin's settings decide whether it is available to you.
- 2You choose which agents may use NotebookLM. A research agent fits best; it opens only the notebooks your account owns or that are shared with it.
- 3Asking a notebook questions and reading its sources and notes need no approval. Creating a notebook, adding or removing sources, generating an Audio Overview and sharing a notebook ask first.

Questions people ask
Can an AI agent use NotebookLM for me?
Yes. A Monmo agent can build a notebook from the sources you choose, ask it questions, check each cited passage and turn the result into a document or slides. It works through the NotebookLM connection, or in its own browser signed in to your Google account when the connection does not cover a step.
What does an AI agent add to NotebookLM?
NotebookLM answers from the sources you give it. The agent does the work around that: finding and vetting the sources, asking questions in a sensible order, checking the citations and writing the result into Google Docs, Google Slides or an email draft. It can also keep a notebook current on a schedule you agree.
Can it add my Google Drive files to a notebook?
Yes, the files you point it to that your account can open, such as Google Docs, Google Slides and PDFs in Google Drive. It lists the files first so you can drop any that should not be in the notebook, and adds them once you allow it.
Does the agent check what the notebook tells it?
Yes. For each answer the AI agent opens the passage the citation points to and confirms the source says what the answer claims. Where a claim has no citation, or the passage says something different, it flags that in the write-up instead of passing it on as fact.
