Unofficial Python library and CLI for driving Google NotebookLM (now Gemini Notebook): bulk-import sources, ask cited questions, and generate and download podcasts, videos, slides, quizzes and flashcards. Ships an agent skill. Relies on undocumented APIs and needs a Google sign-in.

Rewrites an article or script as narration, then builds a click-through 16:9 web presentation you can screen-record into an explainer video, with optional synthesized voiceover. Good for lessons, YouTube tutorials and product walkthroughs. Needs Node.js; voiceover needs a MiniMax or OpenAI key.

Turns outlines or scripts into web slides that present in the browser (not .pptx files), with 36 themes and 15 full deck templates; press S for presenter mode with script and timer. Good for lessons, training and reports. Plain local files; no account or API key needed.

Unofficial nlm CLI and MCP server for NotebookLM (now Gemini Notebook): bulk-create notebooks, import web pages and docs, and generate audio overviews, quizzes, flashcards, mind maps and slides for teaching and study. Relies on undocumented APIs and a Google sign-in, so it may break.

Turns a paper (arXiv link or PDF) into method diagrams, slides with a generated image per page (PPTX/PDF export) and an in-depth HTML explainer with formulas, for lab meetings and lectures. No API key; images use Codex's built-in generator or, in Claude Code, a separate image skill.

Write a script, speakers and visuals in MulmoScript (JSON or YAML) and the mulmo command generates narration and images and assembles a video, podcast, slide deck or PDF, for explainer videos. Needs Node.js, FFmpeg and an OpenAI API key; other providers optional.

Official ListenHub skills: agents turn a topic, article or link into podcasts, explainer videos and slides, and can also do voiceovers, voice cloning, background music and image generation. Needs a ListenHub account (free credits included) and the listenhub CLI.
