NotebookLM’s Free Upgrade: Build a One-Click Agent OS with Hermes, Hyperframes & Obsidian The script explains a new free NotebookLM upgrade and a recommended workflow that plugs NotebookLM into an agent operating system to automatically organize notebooks and outputs, sync everything to an Obsidian memory vault, and turn research into ready-to-post content (videos, podcasts/audio views, infographics, slide decks, mind maps, flashcards, quizzes, tables, and reports) in one click. It introduces a framework called Goldie Knowledge Studio with a five-layer pipeline: capture notebooks, generate content in a studio UI, auto-save/sync to Obsidian, organize assets in one place, and publish. The key improvement is placing NotebookLM beside the Hermes Video Agent and using Hyperframes to edit and improve generated artifacts, plus optional AI avatar customization to reduce generic output. It also mentions using an MCP to connect tools, adding Google’s Antigravity via CLI (replacing Gemini CLI by June 18), and offers a paid “AI Profit Boardroom” for the full setup, tutorials, coaching, and community.

NotebookLM Just Got A Powerful Free Upgrade And This Changes Everything About How You Use It. Right Now Most People Are Using NotebookLM The Wrong Way, They Generate Something, It Sits There, They Never Use It Again. That Ends Today My Friend. I'm Going To Show You How To Plug NotebookLM Into An Agent Operating System That Organizes Everything Automatically, Turns Your Research Into Ready To Post Content In One Click, It Gets Better Every Single Time You Use It. We're Talking About Videos, Podcasts, Infographics, Slide Decks, All In One Place, All Generated For Free. And There's One Thing Inside The Setup That Most People Completely Missed, Which I'll Show You Later That Makes This 10 Times More Powerful Than Anything You've Ever Tried Before. Stick With Me To The End And I Promise You NotebookLM Will Never Be The Same Again For You. Let's Get Into It. Today, I'm Going To Show You A Powerful New Upgrade That Just Came To NotebookLM And This Is A New Way To Set Up NotebookLM So You Can Get The Most Out Of It. So The Powerful Thing About This Is For Example If You're Using NotebookLM The Old Way, It's Very Difficult To See If And You've Created, It's Very Difficult To Manage All Of Your Different Notebooks. And Then Also If You Create Anything Like How Do You Make It Better, Right? So For Example You Can Generate Reports, You Can Generate Videos, You Can Generate Audio Views, Etc. But How Do You Make That Content Better? Right? This Is What You Can Actually Do With Hyperframes. And This Is New Way To Take The Content That You Have From NotebookLM And Then Make It 10 Times Better. So You Can See An Example Right Here. This Is Actually A Video We Created With This New Setup. And Basically What This Allows You To Do Is Edit Anything That You Create With NotebookLM. And So It's A Really Powerful Way To Start Using This Stuff. And Also It's Free, Right? You Can Use The Hermes Video Agent Setup For Free With NotebookLM. So NotebookLM Is A Free Tool, Hermes Is A Free Open Source Tool, And The Hyperframe Setup That I'm Talking About Today Is A Free Open Source Project As Well. So This Bridges Everything Together To Just Make It More Powerful And More Useful, Right? And So You Can Also, This Is A Great Thing About It Is Like You Can Have All Of Your NotebookLM Notebooks, The Audio Views And The Podcasts You Create, All The Chats, All In One Place, All Synced To Your Memory System. And Then You Can Create Whatever You Want And You Can Organize That As Well. And I'm Going To Talk To You About Why I Did This As Well. So Previously Like Turning Research Into Useful Content Was A Nightmare, Right? So For Example, You'd Have To Go Into NotebookLM, Use Different Sources, Hit Generate, And Then You Get Something You Like But Then It Just Sits There, Right? To Turn It Into Something Else More Useful, That's Quite Resource Intensive And Also Very Difficult To Organize. So What I've Actually Done Is I've Built An Agent Operating System Around NotebookLM, Right? And This Way, When I'm Building This Out And We're Using This Whole System As You Can See, Number One, We've Got Everything Organized In One Place. Number Two, If We Need To Generate Anything Else, So For Example, You Can See This Notebook Here That We've Pulled In, We Can Organize That So We Can Generate Whatever We Want. We Can Generate A New Video View, Or We Could Create A New Podcast Here, We Could Generate An Infographic, Etc. And It Will Pull It Into This Section. And Then Also The Cool Thing About This As Well Is We Can Plug That Into The Video Agent Section Here, Right? And So The Great Thing About This Is When We're Setting This Up, We've Got It All Organized In One Place, And It's Much Easier To Just Use The Stuff That We Have And Make It Way More Useful With No Buckle End, Right? That's The Difference. And You Can See Some Examples Of Like People Using Similar Agent Operating Systems Here. There's So Much You Can Do With This, Right? And So I've Showing You The Proof. If You're Thinking About This Setting This Up, Definitely Do, Because It Changes Your Whole Workflow Setup, Right? And It's Easy To Set Up And Also It Saves A Lot Of Time As Well. So The Framework That I've Created For This Is Something Called The Goldie Knowledge Studio. And By The Way, If You're Watching This And You Have Any Questions As We Go Along, Feel Free To Ask. But Basically, This Allows You To Take Like Raw Knowledge Into Powerful Ready-To-Boost Content, Right? And So This Is Like A Pipeline Where You Use Your AI Agents To Take The Content From Notebook. And Make It 10 Times Better And Make It 10 Times More Useful, Right? And So How Does This Work? There's Five Layers. Number One Is The Capture Section Here, Right? And So You've Got A Library Of Notebooks Like You Can See Over Here. And These Are All Plugged Into Your Agent Operating System. If You Don't Know How To Connect Your AI Agents To Notebook. You Can Use An MCP, Right? So For Example, This Is A Really Good Open Source MCP That I've Used Previously To Set This Up. If You Don't Know How To Build Like A Nice UI Like This, You Literally Just Ask Your Agent To Build It For You, Right? So You Can Ask Claud Or Whatever You Want To Build This Up For You. From There, You Can Generate The Content, Right? So Based On That Notebook You've Created Here, So For Example Like This One, We Can Then Go To The Studio And We Can Generate Whatever You Want, Right? So If We Want To Generate Any Podcast, We Can Select Audio View, Hit Generate, And Then It Creates A Podcast For Us. Like You Can See Right Here. So It's A Much Nicer, Neater Organized Workflow. And Also You Can Customize It However You Want. And You Can Generate All These Different Types, Right? So You Can See This One Is Working Right Here, But We Could Generate A Video Or We Could Generate A Presentation, A Mind Map, An Infographic, A Flash Card, A Quiz, Table Report, Whatever We Want Using This Process Right Here. Pretty Amazing. And Then From There You Can Save Everything Automatically To Your Memory, Right? So Everything That We Generate With This System Actually Syncs To Our Obsidian Vault, Right? Obsidian Is A Free Memory System That You Can Use For AI Agents. So You See This Knowledge Graph Right Here Where Everything Is Linked Together, And We've Got All These Notes. That's Because My AI Agents Are Taking Notes On Me, And Then Exporting That To My Obsidian Vault, Right? Now Obsidian Is This Tool That You Can See Right Here. You Can Use It For Free. And Also It Keeps Everything Organized Inside A Beautiful Knowledge Graph Here. And Also My AI Agents Will Write Notes Into This System Daily, Right? So You Can See For Example We Have All These Notes On My Community Right Here. If You Keep Scrolling Down Here, We Have For Example Notes On How We Use Clawed And Everything Else. And Also It Shows You Where It Connects To And It Tags Everything And Organize It Neely Too, Right? So Everything Is Just Organized In One Beautiful Place. If We Go To, For Example My Agency, Goldie Agency, You Can See All Of The Different Systems And The Way This Is Tagged Into Our Knowledge Graph Right Here, Right? And So Anything That We Create With Notebook LEM Also Saves To The Obsidian Vault Too. And Then The Great Thing About That Is That When We Create Content In The Future, It's All Inside A Vault, Right? So If We Go Back To Notebook LEM Over Here, We Check Our Assets, Everything Is Saved In One Place. Beautiful. And Then If We Create Anything, For Example Like We Just Created That Audio View, Right? So If We Go Back To This, Check Out The Studio, We've Got That Here. And Once That'S Done, We Can Pull That Into Our Vault Like You Can See Here, Right? And That Makes It Much Easier To Organize Everything And Keep It In One Place. And Then When You'Ready You Can Post This Content, Right? So For Example If I Generate An Infographic Or Something Like That, I'Ve Got It Ready To Go And I Can Just Post That To Social Media If I Need To, Right? Or If I Want To. And That'S A Full Five Step Process. Now Here's The Thing That Most People Don'T Know About And This Part Really Matters. So Notebook LEM Has Always Been Good At Generating Content, But This New Upgrade Where You Have It Sit Next To Hermes Video Agent, Inside Agent OS Is What Changes The Workflow, Right? So Before If You Were Just Using Notebook LEM Directly, You Might Have An Audio View Or A Video View, But You Never Really Used It, Right? It Was Just Kind Of Stuck In One Place. Now What You Can Do Is You Can Actually Edit It With Hyperframes. So Here's An Example, Right? We'Ve Got Different Examples Right Here Of Videos We'Ve Created With Hyperframes. We'Ve Got This Video View And We Can Edit That With Our AI Agent To Make It Better, Right? Way More Powerful. Way Better Set Up. And So Notebook LEM Can Create Like The Idea And Then The Video Agent Turns It Into Something Amazing. Now Some People Say I Can Already Use Notebook LEM Directly, Why Would I Need Something Like This Bridge That We'Ve Set Up, Right? This Is What Turns It Into Something Way More Useful. So Using Notebook LEM Alone, You Generate An Artifact For Example And It Just Sits There, Right? You'd Have To Manually Remember Where It Is, Everything Doesn't Really Sit In One Place, It'S Very Hard To Organize. If You Switch To Chat Cheap It To Your Claude, You'Re Not Really Going To Have Everything Linked Together, Right? Whereas For Example With The Agent Operating System, Everything Is Saved In One Place, Much Easier To Organize, Much Easier To Just Switch Between My AI Agents And Have Everything Living Next To Each Other, Right? So OpenClaw, Claude, Hermes, Everything Is Right There Ready To Go Together. And That'S A Cool Thing About This. So Let'S Talk About The Old Way Versus The New Way. These Are Two Completely Different Ways Of Doing This, Right? The Old Way Was Like You Would Use Notebook LEM Alone, Right? So You'D Open Up Notebook LEM, You Might Generate An Audio Preview, You Play It Once, You Forget It, Right? And Then You Forget About It, You Don'T Know Where All Your Files Live, You Forget About Stuff. And The Problem Is Like With That, You Get Isolated Artifacts, You Get Everything Scattered, And You Don'T Really Create Anything Useful, Right? That You'Re Actually Going To Use Day To Day. Whereas For Example, The New Way With The Knowledge System Is Number One, It'S Free Because Hermes Agent, Hyperframes, And Notebook LEM Are All Free. You Can Drop The Source Into Notebook LEM, You Can Hit Generate, Everything Sinks Inside The Vault, As You Can See Over Here. If You Need To Create More, You Can Go To The Studio Based On The Notebook That You Want To Create For, As You Can See Here. And You Can Also See The Status Of Everything. So For Example, This One Is In Progress Now. And Then One Click Can Create Anything You Want, Right? That'S A Powerful Thing As Well. And Also, What We'Ve Set Up Here With The Video Agent Is We Actually Have An AI Avatar Section Here. All Right? So We Can Create Even More Useful Stuff By Implementing My Brands Inside This As Well. And The Result Is A Pipeline That Flows Into One Place Where You'Ve Got Everything In One Screen, All Organized For Free, And It'S Just Way More Powerful And Useful. But You Could Use This For Audio Views, For Videos, For Slide Decks, Mind Maps, Infographics, Flashcards, Quizzes, Data Tables, And Reports. And Some People Say This Might Feel Generic, Right? The Content They Create. But Actually, If You Have A Way Of Customizing That Using The Video Agent, Then It Feels A Lot More Like You, Right? If I Plug In This Avatar Into The System, How Much Better Is That Gonna Look? It'S Gonna Look 10 Times Better, Right? Because It'S Unique To Me, It'S Specific, It'S More Relevant To Me And My Brand, Right? That'S The Difference Here. And Then Other People Say, I'LL Keep Things In Notebook LEM, Why Would I Use Obsidian? And The Thing Is, If You Use Notebook LEM, It Doesn'T Really Talk To You Other Tools. But Obsidian Links To All Of Your AI Agents. So The Whole Reason For This Is That Hermes Agent Can Organize Your Obsidian Vault. And Then When You Plug Your Obsidian Vault Into Any Other AI Agent, Everything Links Together, Right? The Agents Can Understand Your Memory, Your System, How It Works All Together, Which Is Exactly What We Want, Right? So That'S Basically It. That'S How To Create Everything In One Place. The One Thing That I Would Say Is The Most Powerful Here Is Obsidian As A Memory Vault, Like Super Powerful Stuff. And Then Also With Hermes Video Agent, That'S Really Cool As Well. You Can Just Create Much Better Stuff. And When You Link It To Notebook LEM, And You Can Generate Free Videos, Or You Can Generate, For Example Like This Podcast Here, This Is Way More Powerful, Right? Way More Useful. So Everything Links Together In A Beautiful System. Josiah Says, Hi Julian, Good To See You Live. Thanks Very Much For Joining. If Anyone Has Any Questions, By The Way, Feel Free To Ask As We Go Along. But Yeah, That Is The Full System. If You Want To Set This Up Yourself, You Can. If You Want To Get My Full Setup With The Agent Operating System, And If Anything Else, You Can Get That Inside The AI Profit Boarding, Right? So You Get The Full Knowledge Studio And The Agent OS Setup. So You Get Notebook LEM Already Plugged Into This Agent Operating System. You Get The Hermes Video Setup As Well. You Get The Workspace Memory With Obsidian. You Get The 30 Day Playbook, And If Anything Else Inside The AI Profit Boarding, Now The Other Great Thing About This Is So Much More Useful Because Notebook LEM Alone Is Useful. Having A Video Agent Itself Is Useful. But When You Put Them In The Same Dashboard With Shared Memory And A One Click Setup, The Workflow Changes Completely. It Becomes Way More Powerful. If I Just Want To Generate A Video, How Easy Is That? Just Go Inside Here, Click Generate, Boom. That Is How Easy It Is. And So There Is Many Benefits To This. Number One, You Have A Shared Vault Across Every Agent, Right? Because Notebook LEM Is Saving Locally To Obsidian File. The Same With Hermes, OpenClaw, And Claude. And So You Stop Having To Manually Organize Everything. Number Two, You've Got One Dashboard With One Tab, Right? So Notebook Sits Next To Video, Sits Next To Studio, Studio Sits Next To Goals. The Whole Pipeline Runs Inside One Dashboard, Right? So You Have Goals, SEO, Video, Studio, Notebook, Even A Kanban Board Here For Multiple Teams Of Agents To Put This Stuff Together. Additionally, As You Use This System More, The Better It Gets, Right? Because It's Self-Improving. If Every Time You Use This, Hermes Is In A Self-Improving Loop, Which It Is, That's Automatically Set Up To Do That. And Then Also, You're Improving The System, Making It Better Every Day, Based On What You Can Do. And Then Additionally, You're Improving Your Memory System. Guess What? This Stuff Gets Better And Better Every Time You Use It. Whereas If You Go Inside Notebook LEM, But You Don't Have A System, And You're Just Using The Defaults, It Doesn't Get Better Every Time. You Have To Kind Of Wait For Google To Make It Better For You. And Even Then It Doesn't Have Context On You, And Who You Are, And What You Do, And What You Did Yesterday, And Everything Else. And Again, This Is All Free, Right? You Can Ask Hermes To Build The Agent Operating System For Free. There's A Dashboard For You. You Just Give It The Directions. Hey Hermes, Create This Dashboard For Me. Here's How I Want It To Look, Blah, Blah, Blah. Post It Locally, Blah, Blah, Blah, Right? And Then Notebook LEM Itself Is Free, The MCP To Link Them Together Is Free, And Obsidian Is Free As Well, Right? So That's Basically It, That's The Whole Setup. Now Some People Say Notebook LEM Is Too Basic To Really Create A Good Content System. It's Basic On The Sound, But If You Wire It Into A Powerful Agent Operating System, It's The Input Layer For The Entire System, Right? And So Notebook LEM Is The Engine, But The Dashboard Is What Turns Into The Vehicle, Right? And It's A Completely Different Vehicle Once It's Plugged Into The Agent Operating System. Other People Say, Like Nine Different Types, Right? But The Thing Is, You Might Have Some Podcasts You Need To Create, Some Infographics, Maybe You Got A Slide Deck To Create One Day, And So Just Having That Optionality Is Super Powerful. And Then Also Some People Say AI Content Isn't Very Good. But Actually If You Have The Video Agent Plugged In, If You Have Your Avatar Plugged Into The System, If You Have For Example The Memory System That's Unique And Personalized To You, All Of A Sudden Everything Becomes Less Generic And More Useful. And Then We've Got A Question Here Which Is, Do You Know How To Create An AI Agent For Free? So There's Two Options Here. So Number One, You Can Actually Just, For Example Use An Open Source Project That's Ready To Go, Like Hermes, As You Can See, Right? That's One Option. And Then Also There's A Really Cool System Here That I Used. I've Actually Got A Tutorial About It. It's Called Build Your Own Open Claw, Right? And So You Can Create Your Own AI Agent Like This As Well. Again, It's Open Source. I Think It's Built Using Pi, Which Is What Open Claw Was Originally Built On. And Then You Can Customize Your AI Agents Exactly How You Want Them. And Then We've Got A Question From Don, Which Is Can You Walk Through How You Have Antigravity Plugged In? Right? How Is That Set Up? So Antigravity Is Actually Plugged In To The Agent Operating System. We Are Going Off On A Crazy Tangent. It's Plugged Into The Agent Operating System Using CLI, Right? So If You Have A CLI, It's Basically Like A Terminal That You Can Talk To Your AI Agents With. Google Just Released Antigravity CLI, And That's How You Can Get This Plugged Into The System, Right? So If We Wanted Hermes To Build Out An Agent Operating Dashboard Like This, We'd Ask It Inside The Chat. If We Wanted To Add Antigravity, We'd Give It The CLI Details And Ask It To Add Antigravity As A CLI Inside There. Can You Do A Tutorial On How To Use Obsidian? Yeah, So I Actually Have That. Over Here, If You Go To The Classroom Inside The AI Profit Boardroom, And Then You Go To The Infinite Context Engine, This Is The Full System That We've Used, Right? So If We've Got A Full Video Tutorial Walking You Through, And Basically It's A Combination Of Three Tools, Right? So We Have Obsidian, And Then We Have... So We've Got Obsidian, And Then We Have Omi, And Then We Have That Link To Our AI Agents. And That's How It All Works Together. Matt Says Hi, Good See You. And Then We've Got Another Question From Don, Which Is, I Hear Google Is About To Stop The CLI. So Basically What They're Doing Is They're Switching Google Gemini CLI To Antigravity CLI, Right? And Then Antigravity Will Be Their Main Coding Agent. So It's Not Like You're Losing Access To The CLI, It's Just Switching From Gemini, Which It Was Previously. And Then On June The 18th, It Will Be Fully Phased Out, And It Will Switch Fully To Antigravity. So That's Why I've Set Up Antigravity Now, Because It's Less Than A Month Away, And We Want To Get That Set Up Right Away, Right? So That's Basically It. And That's The Whole System. Just To Recap On What You've Learned Today, Right? So You Learned How To Connect Notebook, LM, And Hermes For Free. You Learned How To Set Up A Whole System That You Don't Need To Keep Re-Explaining To. You Learned How To Organize All Your Files And All Your Outputs Into One Nice Place, One Nice Dashboard.
