Connecting PAI to NotebookLM via MCP: Your Research Becomes a Live Knowledge Layer

I’ve been using Google’s NotebookLM for a while to manage research. Drop in a PDF, a few URLs, some YouTube transcripts — and suddenly I have a knowledge base I can interrogate with natural language. It answers questions grounded entirely in what I gave it, with citations to the exact source, no hallucinations.

The problem is it’s a separate tool. NotebookLM over here. PAI over there. My research couldn’t feed into my workflows, and my workflows didn’t know my research existed.
