# Open Notebook Examples

## Complete Research Workflow

This example demonstrates a full research workflow: creating a notebook, adding sources, generating notes, chatting with the AI, and searching across materials.

```python
import requests
import time

        "description": "Review of mechanisms of drug resistance in solid tumors"
    }).json()
    notebook_id = notebook["id"]
    print(f"Created notebook: {notebook_id}")

    # 2. Add sources from URLs
    urls = [
        "https://www.nature.com/articles/s41568-020-0281-y",
        "https://www.cell.com/cancer-cell/fulltext/S1535-6108(20)30211-8",
    ]

## File Upload Example

```python
import requests

BASE_URL = "http://localhost:5055/api"


def upload_research_papers(notebook_id, file_paths):
    """Upload multiple research papers to a notebook."""
    for path in file_paths:
        with open(path, "rb") as f:
            response = requests.post(
                f"{BASE_URL}/sources",

## Model Management

```python
import requests

BASE_URL = "http://localhost:5055/api"
