Highlight & Snipe

Highlight and Snipe sends selected words from any web page to a notebook in Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM) as a new source. Select text, right-click, and choose Send highlight to NotebookLM.

Why send highlights?​

You are reading something and one paragraph matters. Snipe is like cutting that paragraph out with scissors and pinning it in your notebook. It works on any page, not only Gemini Notebook.

How to send a highlight​

  1. On any web page, select the text with your mouse.
  2. Right-click the selection.
  3. Choose Send highlight to NotebookLM.
  4. A small window called Import to NotebookLM opens. Pick a notebook from the list. Type in Search notebooks… to find one. Kortex marks the best fit as Suggested.
  5. Or click Create New Notebook to start a fresh one. It is named "[SNIPPETS]" with the page's title.

What happens next​

When it works, the window says Snippet Saved! and closes by itself.

The window saying the snippet is saved

The new source holds the page's address, the date and time, and your highlighted words. Its title is the first eight words of the highlight.

What if something goes wrong?​

  • Daily limit. The free plan allows 10 imports a day, and a highlight counts as one. The window says the daily limit was reached. Kortex Pro has no limit. See pricing.
  • Error. If Gemini Notebook does not take the snippet, the window says why. Open Gemini Notebook and try again.
