Core Workflow

1. Gather Required Information

NSE Symbol: If not provided, use web_search to find it.

Date Range: If not provided, ask for clarification. Accept various formats:

• Explicit: "2023-01-01 to 2025-01-26", "2023 to 2025", "from 2023"
• Relative: "last 2 years"
• Milestones: "Since IPO", "since <event>" (use web_search to resolve dates)

Convert to YYYY-MM-DD for CLI.

Datasets: Default to all datasets if not specified. Uses --annual-reports-all by default.

Run knowledgelm list-datasets to get the full list of valid dataset keys.

Share Issuance Documents note: Use issue_documents when the user asks about docs related to events involving issuance of shares: IPO prospectus, rights issues, QIP placements, information memoranda, or scheme of arrangement documents.

Shareholder Meeting Notices note: The shm_details.json output from the shm dataset contains: ixbrl : links to a human .html file of the details of the meeting and resolutions(subset of the below) local_pdf_path: .pdf of the notice. Besides all the info in the ixbrl .html, the .pdfs provide explanatory statements for each resolution. This is an underrated source of insight.

2. Fetch Filings

Use knowledgelm fetch nse with appropriate flags.

# Fetch all standard categories
knowledgelm fetch nse HDFCBANK --start 2024-01-01 --end 2025-01-26

# Fetch specific datasets
knowledgelm fetch nse HDFCBANK --start 2024-01-01 --end 2025-01-26 --datasets transcripts,annual_reports

The CLI's return .json provides useful metadata about the results.

NotebookLM Integration

The below is a comprehensive CLI for Google NotebookLM - offers full programmatic access to NotebookLM's features from the command line

Follow this if the user wants to create a notebook

1. Ensure Latest Package Version

Check if installed and upgrade to latest:

notebooklm --version

If not installed:

uv tool install notebooklm-py

If installed, upgrade to latest:

uv tool upgrade notebooklm-py

Browser extras (for first-time setup): Do not use this unless you run into issues running any of the notebooklm commands. If user hasn't authenticated with NotebookLM before, they need browser login support:

uv tool install "notebooklm-py[browser]"
playwright install chromium

2. Create Notebook

Use --help extensively to discover options and to determine the next steps

notebooklm --help
notebooklm source add --help

Use the notebooklm CLI to create a new notebook and add all downloaded files(.pdf, .md, .json) to that notebook (exclude .pkl files).

Follow-up/CTA

Contextually come up with a call-to-action to help the user benefit from the below add-on features/unused core features.

Highly likely add-on — ValuePickr forum as a source

• Use web_search to find the company's thread URL on forum.valuepickr.com.

• Run knowledgelm fetch vp <URL> --symbol <SYMBOL>. Files saved to ./{SYMBOL}_sources/forum_valuepickr/.

• Artifacts: 1. thread PDF 2. popular links in the thread in a .md

• Note:

  • This is a forum thread and may not fit as an upload to NotebookLM as a source of truth.
  • The output is well-formatted to be vastly more distraction-free and print-friendly compared to the site.

  Make the user understand both and offer it as just a download for the user to read manually or as a potential source.

knowledgelm fetch vp "https://forum.valuepickr.com/t/nrb-bearings-ev-and-exports-to-drive-growth/106674" --symbol NRBBEARING

Optional add-on — Audio Overview Generation

The notebooklm_audio_prompt can be used to generate a fundamental deep-dive of the company in audio format by passing it as an argument to the corresponding notebooklm command.

On-demand add-on — Markdown conversion of .pdfs

The convert command converts downloaded PDFs to LLM-ready Markdown using markitdown.

Important: Conversion is deliberately separate from fetch because it can take over 2 minutes per file for large documents (e.g., annual reports).

Use when a user wants to analyze an individual source/small subset without using notebookLM/as a fallback for when notebooklm faces persistent issues. Explicitly warn the user regarding the tradeoff beforehand.

# Convert a single PDF
knowledgelm convert file "./HDFCBANK_sources/transcripts/2024-10-19_Transcript.pdf"

# Bulk convert all PDFs in a directory
knowledgelm convert dir "./HDFCBANK_sources/transcripts/"

Exception Handling

• Invalid symbol: CLI returns "success": false in JSON
• Network issues: Retry once after 5 seconds
• Incomplete data: May indicate newly listed company on the NSE mainboard or corporate action. Use web_search to verify.
