Save posts and videos as you browse.

Kortex adds a send button to posts on X, Reddit and LinkedIn, to YouTube and to any passage you highlight, so the research for your next piece ends up in one Gemini Notebook.

How do writers and creators use Kortex?

Writers and creators use Kortex, a Chrome extension for Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM), to save posts from X, Reddit and LinkedIn, YouTube videos and highlighted passages into a notebook per project as they browse. Then they ask that notebook for angles, outlines and briefs grounded in what they saved, and export the research as Markdown to wherever they draft.

Where research gets lost

The idea arrives while you’re scrolling. Kortex makes saving it a single click.

Four ways to work

Four routines that fit around the work you already do.

Save posts and ask questions of them

Saved posts and lines you can ask questions of.

  1. Make a notebook for each project or show, and one for your swipe file.
  2. On X, Reddit or LinkedIn, click the Kortex button on a post to send it. Reddit posts come with their top comments.
  3. Highlight a line in any article, right-click and send it. The page link and date come with it, so crediting is easy.
  4. Ask the notebook which angles your saved sources cover and which they miss.

Research a video topic from other videos

A briefing on what’s been said, before you write a word.

  1. Search YouTube for your topic and send the results, a playlist or a channel’s uploads to a new notebook.
  2. Each video becomes its own source.
  3. Generate a briefing doc, then ask what the top videos agree on and where they contradict each other.
  4. Plan the rest with the YouTube workflow builder.

Draft with your own prompts, in any AI chat

Your best prompts, one shortcut away wherever you write.

  1. Save your hook, outline and repurposing prompts in the Prompts library, in folders, each with a ;shortcut.
  2. In ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini, type the shortcut in the chat box and the full prompt drops in.
  3. When the draft chat is done, send it to the project’s notebook so it sits with the research.
  4. Keep the prompts you reuse in your Prompts library.

Export research next to your draft

Sources and notes as Markdown, next to the draft.

  1. Download the notebook’s sources as Markdown, or as one ZIP.
  2. Export the briefing doc and notes from the Studio as Markdown or PDF.
  3. Copy a chat as Markdown to paste into your draft.
  4. Turning it into a newsletter or a thread? The research to content planner has the prompts.

What reviewers say about these features

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.”

What writers and creators ask

Something we missed? Ask us.

Which sites does the send button work on?

AI chats on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok, Kimi, Genspark and OpenEvidence; posts on X, Reddit and LinkedIn; YouTube; and Google Docs. On any other page, highlight the text and right-click to send it.

Can I save a whole YouTube channel?

Yes: a channel’s uploads, a playlist or the results of a search. Each video becomes its own source. Gemini Notebook caps the sources in one notebook, so for big channels pick the videos you need.

Do my saved prompts work outside Gemini Notebook?

Yes. Type a ;shortcut in the chat box on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and the other supported AI sites, or open your prompts on any page with ⌘⇧P (Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows).

Can Kortex save Instagram or TikTok posts?

Not with the send button, which covers X, Reddit and LinkedIn. On other sites, highlight the text you want and right-click to send it.
