Scientists in industry R&D and pharma use Kortex, a Chrome extension for Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM), to keep a notebook per program with papers, preprints, patents and regulatory guidance, labelled by type and searchable across programs. They route preprints by domain, compare programs’ notebooks, and follow their company’s policy on confidential data.
Kortex sends what you import to Gemini Notebook in your own Google account; Kortex itself doesn’t keep your chats or the contents of your sources. Follow your company’s policy on confidential, unpublished and IP-sensitive material before adding internal reports or results. We make no claim that Kortex is suitable for regulated records.
Keeping up is part of the job. Kortex handles the filing.
New preprints land faster than you can file them.
A Domain Router rule sends links from bioRxiv or arXiv to the program’s inbox notebook as you import them.
Papers, patents and guidance blur together in one notebook.
Tag every source by type, like Paper, Patent, Guidance or Method, and filter the notebook down to one kind.
Two programs overlap and nobody knows which papers they share.
Compare two notebooks to see the sources both share and the ones only one has, and copy across what’s missing.
The guidance you need is spread over a hundred pages of a regulator’s site.
Crawl the guidance pages into a notebook, to the depth you choose.
Your computational colleagues want the literature in their own tools.
Kortex MCP lets Claude, Cursor or other MCP clients search and ask your notebooks, with citations.
Built around published literature. Internal data follows your company’s policy.
Everything published on a program, labelled by type.
An inbox of new preprints, triaged once a week.
A cited overview of who is doing what.
The literature, queryable from the tools they already use.
Quoted word for word and linked to where they were posted. Reviewers don’t say what they do for a living, so we picked reviews about the features on this page.
“Kortex turns NotebookLM into an actual knowledge base instead of a fancy note dump. Highlighting text from any webpage and sending it straight in feels borderline magical.”

Only if your company’s policy allows it. Kortex sends what you import to Gemini Notebook in your own Google account and doesn’t keep the contents of your sources, so your company’s rules on confidential and IP-sensitive data decide what goes in.
No direct integration. Highlight and send from any page you can read, import links in bulk, or add PDFs in Gemini Notebook.
You add a rule like “links from biorxiv.org go to Preprint inbox”. When you send or import a link from that domain, it goes to the notebook you chose.
Same toolkit, pointed at industry work: programs instead of a thesis, patents and regulatory guidance next to papers, and stricter rules on confidential data. The researchers page covers academic workflows.
Add Kortex to Chrome and send the next paper or preprint to a program notebook.
