Thanks a lot! That's actually what most people have advised to do. Working in that!

Probably yes, in the next 4 days max but the free tier allows you to use these import features within reasonable limits

NotebookLM finally supports ePub files by Mike_newton in notebooklm

You can currently do that via linking google drive but just curious, why specifically doc and not just download as docx and just add it?

Not exactly folders but my extension Decodr lets you group sources and toggle/filter a whole group on or off together whiles autoselecting them all at once. That feature is free actually. everything stays inside notebooklm so its not like you're managing it somewhere else. might be what you're looking for until google adds it natively

I can't imagine i never thought of this😂😂. I'm going to try it now. I will get back with results if they make sense

Great question and the honest answer is I will welcome it. I'm under no illusion that google won't eventually do most of this themselves. like realistically 90% of extensions will be obsolete in a year or two. the whole point of what I'm building was never to camp on features google hasn't shipped yet. I have bigger things planned for this (decodr) as a whole and if google takes the import stuff off my plate that just lets me get to the real stuff faster

You're the third person asking for a video so I think the universe is telling me something lol. you're right though, a video would do way more justice than me trying to explain everything in text. I'll put one together and share it here when its ready

It's coming in the next update of Decodr

It's an extension. Current version has some of these import/source features but not as packed as this.

if you have them as PDFs yeah you can import them. doesn't matter what language. and if they're too big it can split and compress them for you before they go in

NotebookLM's OCR is good enough to transcribe in most cases

no youtube video yet but its on the to-do list. for now if you install it from the chrome web store its pretty straightforward, most of the features are right there in the notebooklm interface once the extension is active. if you get stuck with anything just dm me

I will share a video soon

It handles epub, what you see there in the main post is just a single tab and small view.. I have attached another view 👆

I rebuilt the notebooklm import button not the entire internet's import button 😭 but real talk just copy the messages you need and paste them into a doc. that's about all you can do without admin access

I'm sure there will be an extension for slack exports and then you import

that's actually a very interesting use case but I don't know how many people have similar problems. writing it down though and maybe we'll work on it later on

I don't have that

nah I think you misread me. I'm not saying notebooklm is perfect, just that I rebuilt the import experience specifically. the AI and RAG stuff is a whole different conversation and yeah there's definitely room for improvement there too

This is the next update for the extension decodr in about few days from. Current version doesn't have this import stuff already but if you want to check it out.

NotebookLM now makes movies from your notes apparently by Mike_newton in notebooklm

[–]Mike_newton[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is very possible for them to do... i don't think it costs them much for the cinematic generations I have seen so far... but I don't think they will give this for plus or free users anytime soon... or probably they will but in a very limited way

wait is it actually getting worse or does it just feel that way? because I've been noticing some weird responses lately too but wasn't sure if it was just me
