The Pipeline

The Pipeline links a collection to a podcast. Any Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM) notebook that enters the collection can add its Audio Overview to the podcast automatically.

This needs Kortex Pro. See pricing.

Why use the Pipeline?

It is like a playlist that fills itself. Drop a notebook in the folder, and its audio joins the queue.

• Dragging a notebook into a folder builds your listening queue.
• It fits routines such as a commute or a walk.
• Your tidy-up work also feeds your podcast.

How do I set it up?

1. Make a collection, such as Daily Read, and a podcast, such as Morning Commute. Find podcasts under Podcasts in the dashboard sidebar.
2. Open Automation and click Create Pipeline.
3. Name it, for example "Daily Read to Morning Commute". Press Next.
4. For the trigger, click Moved to collection and pick Daily Read.
5. For the action, choose Send to podcast and pick Morning Commute.
6. Press Next and save.

Example

• Trigger: a notebook enters Daily Read.
• Action: its Audio Overview is added to Morning Commute.

Good to know

• Older versions of Kortex had a separate Pipeline screen. Today it is simply a pipeline built in the same wizard as every other rule. If you had a Pipeline rule before, Kortex moved it into a pipeline once, named after the old type.
• The notebook needs a finished Audio Overview. Pair this rule with The Generator to make one for you.
• Pair it with The Cleaner so finished episodes leave the feed.
