YouTube to NotebookLM (help.gsctool.com)

Google is integrating YouTube Summary with AI into NotebookLM, turning video watching into a structured research workflow. Instead of just getting quick summaries, you can now save videos directly from YouTube into a NotebookLM project, automatically attach AI-generated transcripts and summaries, organize content by topic, and later query across your collection. That shift transforms passive viewing into an active, searchable knowledge base—handy for students, researchers, course creators, and anyone who curates video-based learning material. Technically, setup is a one-click connection from NotebookLM’s config page (sign in with your Google account, pick a project, refresh to auto-connect), and a NotebookLM button appears in YouTube’s sidebar so you can save videos without tab-switching. Inside NotebookLM you can ask cross-video questions, generate synthesized answers, and create consolidated summaries from multiple videos. The integration streamlines provenance and retrieval of video content, accelerates literature-review-like workflows for multimedia sources, and improves long-term knowledge management beyond playlists or bookmarks.
