NotebookLM is by far the best AI project Google has piloted, and you can’t convince me otherwise. Sure, there are flashier examples, but none match the practical, everyday usefulness of this research and notebook app. Whether it’s for analyzing insurance or legal documents or helping me navigate my car’s user and care manual, this is one AI product I use almost every day. While importing various documents into the service is straightforward, uploading online media is a chore, especially YouTube videos.
While Google focuses on developing and adding flashier features like Audio and Video Overviews, a third-party developer has introduced a much-needed Chrome extension that simplifies uploading multiple YouTube videos to a notebook. Although the name isn’t particularly inventive and similar extensions have been available in the Chrome Web Store before, YouTube to NotebookLM’s ease of use and seamless integration make it stand out.
