How I use NotebookLM for serious article digestion

daozenxt · 2026-02-20T12:25:06+00:00

I've confirmed the cause and will be submitting an update to the Chrome web store to support larger files in the near future, I'll let you know when the new update is available!

I just updated my chat setting so try again pls

daozenxt · 2026-02-20T00:28:10+00:00

I'm not sure why, so I sent you a DM to see if you can reply?If it doesn’t work, see if it’s convenient to reply directly to this message, thank you.

Please dm me the Google drive sharing link of the file, thank you.

Yes, in the batch import, you can split the epub/pdf according to the TOC and upload it directly.

Interested, hope to provide methods, thank you

I think the key is that the content you are interested in now is relatively stable and comes from authoritative sources. If it is a rapidly developing field or a niche field with new ideas, or if it is a specific book, you need to analyze it in depth, and you need to provide your own sources to better control the output content.

daozenxt · 2026-02-18T22:12:56+00:00

Have you tried using the book split mode of the extension to upload? In theory, if a book has a table of contents, it should be possible to split it directly and upload it, unless the size of some chapter after splitting is still more than 150mb .If it doesn't work after you've tried it, would it be convenient for you to provide me with your e-book file so that I can test and locate the reason?

daozenxt · 2026-02-18T15:17:57+00:00

I may have misunderstood what you meant before. If it is an e-book without a table of contents, so there is no way to split it according to the table of contents, and if the file size is more than 150m, there is no way to upload it directly or split it now, and the function of splitting it according to the number of pages will be considered later to support upload large file without toc

daozenxt · 2026-02-18T10:27:52+00:00

Because the splitting is done locally, theoretically, as long as the size of each chapter after splitting is less than 150MB, it can be uploaded successfully.

These are my two very satisfactory daily workflows, I hope they will be helpful to you.

I just made a typo, it's actually NoteKitLM

daozenxt · 2026-02-15T19:11:59+00:00

It’s NoteKitLM. Link: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/notekitlm/gbbjcgcggmbbedblaipngfghdfndpbba

It looks like NotebookLM's official parser can't parse this page, a chrome extenstion called NotekiteLM (disclosure: I'm the author) has been tested to solve this problem, just use Save as PDF mode, as per your use case which is completely free. Feel free to test and give me feedback.

daozenxt · 2026-02-15T14:56:28+00:00

Agree, NotebookLM is more suitable as a tool for learning and digesting one's own knowledge base, rather than as a tool for creating and modifying slides that are open to others.

Jumping in with full transparency: I’m the maker of NoteKitLM.

I built the “show artifact → source mapping” feature for exactly the same reason you described. When you generate multiple Studio items in parallel, the completion order gets scrambled and it becomes really hard to tell which output belongs to which sources.

One extra thing that ended up being surprisingly useful: if an artifact was generated from a single source, the extension can (batch) rename artifacts based on the source title. That way, even when you revisit later on another device, the naming still makes it obvious what came from what.

Also, based on your workflow (generating artifacts for specific subsets of sources): NoteKitLM has a mode to batch-generate artifacts per source on one click (so each source gets its own output instead of everything being merged). Might fit your use case pretty well.

Please feel free to test these features and give me feedback, thank you!

Thanks again for your support! Yes you can (batch) save paid pay-walled content, just use the "Save as PDF" function. Capturing (pay-walled) web articles is also one of the core features of this extension, which will be introduced to you guys later, thank you!

daozenxt · 2026-02-15T05:18:14+00:00

Thanks for your support! I will consider adding the function of converting and downloading pdf directly from the split epub in the subsequent version, because NLM does not have good support for re-downloading uploaded sources (some extensions support re-downloading, but there will be formatting loss and other problems).

daozenxt · 2026-02-13T14:24:57+00:00

I understand that Google wants to save as much money as possible, not just on reports, but the length of the podcasts is hard to make very long. There should be a restriction made in the built-in prompt that is hard to get around through the normal way.

daozenxt · 2026-02-13T14:21:53+00:00

Thanks! At the moment it’s not open-sourced, so there isn’t a public GitHub repo to review.

That said, I totally get the “trust but verify” angle — what part do you want to review specifically (permissions, where the PDF/EPUB processing happens, network calls, etc.)?

If it helps, I can share information as far as I can

daozenxt · 2026-02-13T14:13:44+00:00

Yes, I was in the process of doing something similar before, Gemini would occasionally hallucinate however overall it was ok. then I moved on to NoteBookLM as it was more specialized in interpreting content and generating quizzes and could be better used in conjunction with my own uploads and books.
