Hermes NotebookLM Bridge: automation for Hermes Agent

Pipeline that turns NotebookLM audio, infographics and slides into platform-ready publishing assets

What Hermes NotebookLM Bridge does

Hermes NotebookLM Bridge runs a single command that creates a NotebookLM notebook, adds your sources (URLs, PDFs or a research query), generates the requested artifacts, downloads them and compresses them per platform. Audio becomes a 48 kbps mono MP3 for Telegram (about 8 MB, down from about 30 MB), and the infographic becomes an 800 px wide JPG under 2 MB for Bluesky. Results land in assets/{slug}/, and the README maps them to Dev.to, Telegram, Bluesky and LinkedIn.

Artifact types are audio overview (MP3), infographic (PNG), mind map (JSON) and slide deck (PDF), chosen with --artifacts. Google blocks headless Playwright, so authentication relies on cookies exported once from a logged-in Chrome session in Netscape format, through a bookmarklet or a cookie-export extension, and then converted by convert_netscape_cookies.py. After that the pipeline runs headlessly. The README states it does not bypass Google authentication.
