The NotebookLM Button on AI Sites

Kortex adds a NotebookLM button to AI chat sites such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity. One click saves the chat you are reading into a notebook in Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM) as a text source.

On ChatGPT the NotebookLM button sits in the chat box

Why use the NotebookLM button?​

  • It is like clipping an article from a newspaper and pinning it to your board. The chat or post goes into a notebook, ready to study.
  • You do not copy and paste. You do not leave the page.

Where the button shows up​

The button is in a different spot on each site. Here is where to look.

  • ChatGPT, Claude and Gistr: in the chat box.
  • Gemini: beside the microphone.
  • Perplexity: in the chat box. It saves the answer, or the links it cites.
  • Grok: beside Share at the top of the chat.
  • Genspark: at the top right of the chat.
  • Kimi: beside the chat's title.
  • Merlin: with the chat box's tools.
  • OpenEvidence: beside the site's name. It saves the answer with its references.
  • Google Docs: beside Share. It adds the document as a Google Docs source.
  • LinkedIn: on every post, beside Repost and Send.
  • Reddit: on a post, beside Share. It saves the post and its thread.
  • X: in the header of a post. It saves the whole thread.
  • YouTube: beside Like and Share. See YouTube.

How to save a chat​

  1. Open a chat on one of the AI sites above.
  2. Click the NotebookLM button. A small menu opens.
  3. Choose Create New Notebook, or Use Existing Notebook.
  4. Wait a moment. The chat is added as a source, titled with the site and the chat's name, such as "[CHATGPT] Trip plan".
Clicking NotebookLM opens a menu with Create New Notebook and Use Existing Notebook

Use an existing notebook​

Pick this to add the chat to a notebook you already have.

  1. Choose Use Existing Notebook.
  2. Look through the list. Recent notebooks come first. The notebook that fits the chat best is on top, marked Suggested.
  3. Or type in Search notebooks... to find one.
  4. Click the notebook.
The list of your notebooks with search, recent ones first and a suggested one on top

Create a new notebook​

If you use collections, source tags or folders, a window opens first so you can sort the new notebook before it is made.

  1. Choose Create New Notebook.
  2. Under Collection, pick a collection, or leave No collection.
  3. Under Source tags, tick any tags to put on the chat.
  4. Under Folder, pick a folder, or leave No folder.
  5. Click Create Notebook.

Good to know​

  • If the notebook already has the chat, Kortex tells you and offers Add anyway. Re-sync Conversation replaces the old copy with the chat as it is now. This needs Kortex Pro. See pricing.
  • On Gemini, Canvas content is included. On Perplexity, a second NotebookLM button in the Sources panel saves every cited link as its own source.
  • On the free plan you can import 10 times a day. Kortex Pro has no daily limit. See Plans.
  • On X, Archive thread to NotebookLM collects the author's own thread, skips other replies, and lets you check it before saving.
  • You can hide the button on one site with Hide NotebookLM button on this site. You can also turn buttons off in the side panel under Manage features.
Two different kinds of saving

The NotebookLM button puts a chat into a notebook. Separately, the Chat Library keeps your chats on your own computer. You can use both.

What if something goes wrong?​

If you cannot see the button, the site may have changed its layout. Right-click the page and choose Save this page to NotebookLM. See Save any page.
