View original[Project] I built a Claude Code skill that turns a TV show wiki + Reddit into a NotebookLM expert, and the canon/theory separation surprised me
I shipped a Claude Code skill because NotebookLM kept treating Reddit theories like canon. That was the rabbit hole. I wanted a chat for FROM, the sci-fi/horror show, that could answer “what do we know about the monsters?” without making up episodes or mixing in some fan theory from 2023. Plain Claude was useful, but too confident. It would blend wiki summaries, speculation, and half-remembered Reddit posts into one answer. I wanted citations. More importantly, I wanted a hard split between “this happened on screen” and “people think this might be true.” So I built a skill that runs from one Claude Code command. For FROM, it does this: Scrapes the show’s Fandom wiki, which is 238 pages. Pulls top theory threads from the show’s subreddit, 200 posts for FROM. Bundles the output into ~10 thematic files, because NotebookLM caps you at 50 sources and one-file-per-wiki-page burns that budget almost immediately. Adds a SOURCE_CLASS header to every chunk: CANON for wiki content, REDDIT_THEORY for fan speculation. You upload the pack to NotebookLM on the free tier and get the chat, the ~15 min Audio Overview podcast, the mind map, the slide deck, quizzes, and the briefing doc. From “give me FROM” to “podcast playing in my ears” took about 5 minutes. No paid APIs. It just runs on the Claude Code subscription I already had. The weird part was how much the labels changed the result. Without SOURCE_CLASS, NotebookLM would casually cite a Reddit theory about the monsters’ origin like it was established canon. With the labels, it started saying things like “according to the wiki...” or “one Reddit theory suggests...” and it would back off when only theories existed. That one boring text header helped more than any prompt I tried. The Audio Overview was also better than I expected. Maybe too good. Listening to two AI hosts talk through FROM theories for 15 minutes while I was out walking felt pretty strange. I also tested it on Nu, Pogodi!, the Soviet cartoon, because I wanted to see if tiny fandoms would fall apart. That one only had 91 wiki pages and 10 Reddit posts. It still produced something coherent. Not perfect, though. There are no video transcripts yet. No proper episode-by-episode breakdowns beyond what the wiki already has. Reddit ingestion is based on top-of-sub heuristics, not a full archive. And if the wiki is bad, the output is bad. Garbage in, garbage out still wins. MIT licensed. It stores only fair-use excerpts from public wikis and Reddit, not full dumps. Repo link will be in the first comment so this does not turn into a drive-by promo post. Happy to answer questions about the skill architecture, since that was the part that took the most trial and error. submitted by /u/Ogretape [link] [comments]
View originalRecommended NotebookLM alternatives
I really like NotebookLM, especially for dumping PDFs/slides/long YouTube videos into one place and asking questions about them. But I’m starting to feel like it’s very “research workspace” first, which makes sense. It’s great when I already have sources and I want to understand them. Less great when I want something more flexible for actual learning, especially on mobile. The things I’m looking for: - handles PDFs, slides, articles, and long You Tube videos - lets me chat with the material / summarize / ask follow-up questions - has more output styles than just one default format - ideally lets me change voice, tone, length, and depth - works well on mobile - can translate or help me learn across languages - good for topics beyond school research, like communication, social skills, history, humanities,career stuff, etc. - bonus if it helps plan what to learn next instead of just summarizing one source A few I’ve looked at so far: Quizzify seems good if your main use case is active recall. It’s more of a quiz/practice-test focused, which is useful because summaries can trick you into thinking you learned something. My brain absolutely falls for this. The downside is that it feels more school/study-tool specific. BeFreed for the audio learning side. It’s not really a NotebookLM clone, but that’s kind of why I like it. You can paste a PDF, article, You Tube link, or just prompt a topic, then it turns it into a personalized audio learning path. You can adjust the voice, style, depth, and length, and the mobile experience is much better for learning while walking/commuting. I’ve used it more for history, communication, social skills, and career-type topics than pure school research. Elephas looks interesting for Mac users because it can do document Q&A and writing locally. That might be helpful if connection issues are the annoying part. But from what I can tell, it’s more of a doc chat / writing assistant than a flexible learning app. Gamma / Canva / Napkin seem stronger if the goal is visual output. Like if you want something presentation-ish, they’re probably closer than most study apps. But they don’t really feel like they’re planning a learning path for you, more like helping you make an output look decent. Still using Anki for stuff I actually need to memorize. Annoying but effective. Saving is not learning, unfortunately. Curious what people here are using. Is there anything that feels like Notebook LM but more flexible, more mobile-friendly, and better for learning beyond just research papers/classes? submitted by /u/HoseaJacob [link] [comments]

View originalbuilt a Claude Code plugin that turns any website into a Python CLI (19 generated so far)
most web apps don't have public APIs. so I built a plugin that watches you use a site in a browser, captures all the HTTP traffic, figures out the protocol, and writes a full Python CLI from it. auth, tests, --json everywhere. it also writes a SKILL.md for each generated CLI, so Claude can call them on its own without extra prompting. ask "find me a hotel in Paris under 200", it runs the booking CLI by itself. the harder parts: bypassing Cloudflare and AWS WAF, decoding Google's batchexecute RPC, handling auth cookie refresh without user interaction. 19 sample CLIs in the repo so people can see how each protocol is handled (Reddit, NotebookLM, Booking, Airbnb, ChatGPT, Stitch, Capitol Trades, LinkedIn, and others). open source, MIT, no affiliation with any of those sites. repo: https://github.com/ItamarZand88/CLI-Anything-WEB would love feedback, especially on which sites you'd want it pointed at next. submitted by /u/zanditamar [link] [comments]
View originalI built a marketplace for AI agent skills and grew it to 17K users with $0 on ads. ChatGPT did all the SEO and content. Here's the full playbook.
I'm a solo non-technical founder. I built a marketplace called Agensi for SKILL.md skills (the files that teach AI coding agents like Codex CLI, Claude Code, and Cursor new capabilities). I'm not a developer. The entire product was built with AI tools. But this post isn't about that. This post is about how I used ChatGPT to build and execute a content strategy that took the site from zero to 17K active users, 559K Google impressions per month, and 509 indexed pages in about 8 weeks. No ad spend. No marketing team. No SEO consultant. I want to share the exact system because I think most people building with AI are focused on the product side and completely ignoring the growth side, where ChatGPT is arguably even more useful. I don't write content. I write data analysis prompts. The biggest mistake people make with AI content is asking it to "write me a blog post about X." That produces generic slop that Google doesn't rank and nobody reads. Instead, I export my Google Search Console data every week. Queries, impressions, click-through rates, average positions. I dump it into ChatGPT and ask it to find three things: Queries where I have high impressions but almost zero clicks (meaning my title doesn't match what people are searching for) Queries where I have zero content but Google is already showing my site (meaning Google thinks I should rank but I have nothing to rank with) Queries where multiple pages on my site compete against each other (cannibalization) ChatGPT comes back with a prioritized list. Today it found 42 queries about SKILL.md YAML frontmatter specs generating 9,563 impressions and literally 1 click. My existing page didn't answer what people were actually searching for. A 20-minute rewrite targeting the actual search intent will likely 10x the clicks from that page alone. That's not content creation. That's data analysis that happens to produce content as output. The AEO angle that most people are sleeping on Here's what surprised me. ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude are now sending us direct traffic. Real users clicking through from AI-generated answers. Last 28 days: AI Source Users ChatGPT 159 Gemini 75 Perplexity 69 Claude.ai 60 Others (Doubao, Copilot, You.com, Felo, NotebookLM) 22 Total 385 That's 385 users per month from AI answer engines. More than LinkedIn, Instagram, and all newsletters combined. And it's growing fast. How we did it: every page on the site has FAQPage JSON-LD schema with short, direct answers. When someone asks ChatGPT "where can I find SKILL.md skills" or asks Perplexity "what is the best AI agent skills marketplace," the structured data makes it easy for the model to cite and link to us. We also restructured every article heading as a question instead of a statement. Not "Claude Code Skill Locations" but "Where Does Claude Code Store Skills?" AI Overviews and answer engines prefer extracting from question-format sections. This is basically SEO for LLMs. I'm calling it AEO (answer engine optimization). Nobody is really doing this systematically yet, which means there's a window right now where the effort-to-result ratio is insane. ChatGPT as a technical SEO auditor Every week I also dump the data and ask ChatGPT to audit the technical health. Things it's caught that I never would have found on my own: It found that 121 queries where I ranked position 1-3 had zero clicks because AI Overviews were answering the question directly from my content. Google was showing the answer without users needing to click. That insight changed my entire strategy from trying to rank #1 to trying to become the source that AI Overviews cite. It found three pages with 52,000 combined impressions getting 56 total clicks. The content was fine. The titles were wrong. ChatGPT rewrote the titles and meta descriptions to match the actual search queries, not what I thought sounded good. It found 4 pages returning 404 errors, a soft 404, a duplicate page without a canonical tag, and a page that was somehow indexed while also being blocked by robots.txt. Wrote the fix prompts, I pasted them into my builder, deployed in 10 minutes. It diagnosed a duplicate FAQ schema issue where React components were emitting FAQ data client-side AND the server-side edge function was also emitting it. Google was seeing double schemas on 90 pages. ChatGPT identified the exact files causing the conflict and wrote the fix. None of these are things I would have caught manually. ChatGPT finds patterns in the data that a human eye just skips over. The structured data layer Every page type on the site has specific schema markup: The homepage has Organization, WebSite with SearchAction, and FAQPage. Individual skill pages have SoftwareApplication with pricing, BreadcrumbList, and conditional FAQPage. Article pages have Article, FAQPage, HowTo where relevant, BreadcrumbList, and Organization. The /about page has Organization, AboutPage, and Person schema for
View originalzettelkasten style knowledge matrix
Hi friends, I've been circling through a personal curriculum for a while now and I'm trying to set up a system where Claude helps me synthesize memory dumps into an atomic note system I can refer back to. Similar to NotebookLM, but with Claude as the interface and my personal files as the source base, with proper citations. I know in theory how to take notes and how to adjust note structure based on topic. What I'm not sure about is the folder architecture. How do I set up a Google Drive system that functions as a second brain across all of it? I've read about Obsidian as a second brain solution. Has anyone built something comparable in Drive (Google or Microsoft), and what would you carry forward into a personal knowledge base set up this way? I have Claude doing a deep search + report on his take with the following prompt: "Research Obsidian & Zettelkaten methodology and compare to Google Drive + Zettelkasten Atomic Notes system design. I'm looking to design a second brain system that prioritizes keeping my files either on a hard drive or a cloud system (or both, for the sake of back up and safety). Compare and contrast different designs for Second Brain systems and give the report in a mark down file with citations at the bottom so it's Speechify friendly. The goal is to help me design a system that compliments the Zettelkaten & knowledge-synthesis skills we've designed previously." (I then uploaded the two skill files so Claude knew what to calibrate the system suggestions toward). While waiting for him, I thought I would poke Reddit's brain and see what fellow humans set up and think about second brain systems. submitted by /u/Crazy_Buffalo3782 [link] [comments]
View originalAI Podcasts made learning economics way less painful for me
I’m basically a total beginner when it comes to finance and economics maybe 2 or 3 months ago, and honestly trying to learn from reports or books used to completely destroy me. Too many charts, numbers, random terms I have to Google every 2 minutes. And I started using AI Podcast to kind of brute force my way into learning this stuff, and I’m honestly surprised by how much it helped. Instead of sitting there suffering through a 70-page report, I can turn it into conversational audio and just listen while driving or walking around. But those tools actually feel slightly different. Like NotebookLM feels more “AI teacher explains the document to you.” It’s really good at organizing information and walking through the important points clearly. And I enjoy Genspark AI Pods more because it feels more like an actual show or podcast episode. The tone feels lighter, less dry, less like I’m studying for an exam. Sometimes it genuinely just sounds like casually discussing the topic instead of reading a report at me. Not saying this magically turned me into some economics genius lol. But it definitely made learning feel way less painful and boring. submitted by /u/EHOON [link] [comments]

View originalHow to effectively use Cowork
I have backround in Engineering/DevOps. I have used Claude Code for past six months. Now i try to shift and upgrade my flow with centralized knowledge vault with Obsidian, custom skills, hooks etc. It feels naturally to split work around vault to Cowork and leave Code for implementation, but for now I have big issues with Cowork as it cannot: - run anything on my machine, even simple bash scripts are spitted in text with instruction how to run them. - sandbox limited to specific folder so the only way is to give it access to ~/ which sounds like a horrible idea. - not shared config, everything like plugins, skills etc have to be installed twice for both Cowork and Code. I see a benefit of sandbox but it seems the best use for me would be to use it simillar to NotebookLM mcp, where I would call Cowork for precise operation or query on my vault. submitted by /u/Valgav [link] [comments]

I learned how someone was using NotebookLM to use valuable sources to ask how to effectively prompt Claude and when to use Chat, CoWork, and/or Code.

I know this is something that would need to be updated often but starting with insightful and detailed information. Thanks. submitted by /u/roncee [link] [comments]
View originalHow to Export Claude Conversations to PDF or Markdown
I've seen people asking how to save or share their Claude chats, copy-pasting the whole thing manually is painful, and Claude doesn't have a native export option. I built a Chrome extension that adds this. It's called Superpower for Claude. What the export does: Claude to PDF: Clean, formatted output. Good for saving a thread as a proper document, printing it, or sharing it with someone outside Claude. Claude to Markdown: Great for feeding it into another AI as context, droping it into NotebookLM, Obsidian, Notion, wherever you work. How to use it: Install the extension here Open any Claude conversation Click the export button (choose PDF or Markdown) Done It runs locally in your browser (privacy-first). I built this because I needed a way to save my coding sessions without copy-pasting manually. Let me know if you run into any bugs or have feature requests!

Hi, I'm working on my university's HPC and want to connect NotebookLM MCP to Claude code. The HPC lacks X11 forwarding, so I can't log in via browser during authentication, and my personal computer is too constrained for the current project. I'm seeking alternatives. I came up with the idea of automating the sync between the local folder and the HPC to maintain authentication, but I'm unsure whether it will work. submitted by /u/Alive_Society2375 [link] [comments]
View originalBest suited model for solo Dev
Hey everyone! I've kinda new to Claude, I've only had few chats with it but nothing too deep like projects etc. I have an upcoming interview for a Frontend Developer role which specifically states using Claude. I do not particularly know for which part of their product they use it as they don't have the role advertised, headhunter got me. I'm doing their free courses as fast as possible so I won't go in blindly. I'm using AI to code, learn, research, daily questions, brainstorming. But I try to avoid full agentic coding so I can actually get good fundamentals and be a proper programmer. For coding I mainly used it inside VSCode as I paid for Copilot so had a set amount of requests. Mostly the number of requests were enough for me, I only went over once when I got locked in developing an app I can use myself daily so it grow a bit bigger than a simple MVP. For a general Chat interface I've started with ChatGPT and ended up with Google AI Pro as I'm in that ecosystem so don't want to pay for the ChatGPT too. I've never paid for Claude directly or for Claude Code so here I'm asking your advice. For learning purposes and develop 1-2 apps as projects for learning and to my portfolio which plan would be sufficient enough? I'm talking about few months only paid out of my own pocket. I still have Copilot until end of June. (then I will cancel it probably) I'm currently not working as a Dev but doing all in my free time next to an irrelevant job. My coding time will be pretty much limited to a few hours a day. I've not used Antigravity or Jules or any other AI Google has, I've only used Gemini and NotebookLM, I went for the AI Pro plan mostly because needed more storage from 200 GB to 2 TB and now they just added 3 TB extra to it so ended with 5 TB. As I said I'm in the Google ecosystem so there is that. I plan to use their whole services but I'm not particulary keen on just going full on with AI coding as I've only had 4 months professional Developer experience and it sadly ended with the project being stopped. I'm learning Frontend and a bit of Backend for years next to a full time job focusing on Angular mostly. So any advice would help to be a bit better with Claude so I can be a successful Junior in a team. If you have course advice on the top of their free courses feel free to recommend. Thanks in advance! submitted by /u/syzgod [link] [comments]
View originalBest AI to "teach" me from a PDF textbook? (Self-studying Uni course)
I’m currently self-studying a university course and hitting a wall just reading the textbook. I have the PDFs, but I’m looking for an AI where I can upload the files and have it actually teach me interactively—not just give me "key points" or summaries. Ideally, I want to be able to: Go through the book section by section. Ask it to "explain this like I'm 5" or give real-world examples. Have it quiz me on specific details to make sure I actually get it before moving on. Ask follow-up questions when a concept doesn't click. Has anyone found a tool that handles large PDFs well and acts more like a tutor than a search engine? I've started using NotebookLM, the podcast feature is cool but looking for something I can have a conversation with that can go through the pdf completely unit by unit. submitted by /u/StoTonho [link] [comments]
