Tip 1: Bulk Import Sources with NotebookLM Web Importer

The NotebookLM Web Importer extension is a lifesaver for quickly adding web pages and YouTube videos directly to your NotebookLM notebooks. Instead of manually copying and pasting links, this extension lets you add sources with a single click. When you find a relevant article or video, just click the extension icon, select your notebook, and boom – it’s added! This eliminates tedious manual entry and keeps your research organized. It even lets you open your Notebook directly from the extension.

Tip 2: Advanced Importing with Websync Full Site Importer

For even more powerful importing capabilities, check out the Websync Full Site Importer for NotebookLM. This extension takes bulk importing to the next level. It allows you to:

• Import from Text Files: Have a list of links in a text file? Websync can import them all at once. Just select your notebook, upload the file, and all the links are added as sources instantly. This is perfect for compiling research from various sources.
• Crawl YouTube Playlists: Want to add an entire YouTube playlist to your notebook? Websync can automatically crawl and import all the videos for you. No more adding each video individually!
• Deep Research Integration: Websync also integrates with Google Deep Research, allowing you to import all the links from your Deep Research results.

Tip 3: Gathering Links from Perplexity AI with Link Grabber

If you use Perplexity AI for research, the Link Grabber extension can be a valuable companion. After expanding the sources on a Perplexity results page, Link Grabber lets you quickly extract all the links into a list. You can then copy this list into a text file and use Websync to import them into NotebookLM. This workflow makes it easy to combine the strengths of both platforms.
