Tools that extend NotebookLM
Import in bulk, organize notebooks, and generate better prompts. Community-built tools link to where their authors shared them, so credit lands in the right place.
YouTube to NotebookLM
browser extension
Send entire channels, playlists or search results into a notebook in one click instead of pasting videos one at a time.
Folders for NotebookLM
community project
Adds folder organization to the notebook list — built by a community developer who got tired of waiting for the official feature.
EPUB to TXT converter
community project
Converts ebooks into clean plain text for upload — still useful for EPUBs that import poorly.
Academic Prompt Lab
community project
A prompt generator covering twenty analysis types — gap analysis, thematic coding, Feynman technique — with a rigor toggle.
SurfSense
open-source project
Self-hosted NotebookLM alternative that connects Slack, Notion, GitHub and more — for teams whose documents can't touch a third party.
Tools are listed because the community finds them genuinely useful — nobody pays for placement. Built something NotebookLM users would want? Share it in r/notebooklm and it will find its way here.
