To save a ChatGPT conversation as a NotebookLM source, open the chat and click the NotebookLM Ultra Exporter icon. Quick capture recognises ChatGPT pages, extracts the loaded prompts and replies, and adds them to the notebook you choose. It is free, within 20 imports per day.

## Quick facts

| Item | Detail |

| Where | Extension popup or side panel on the chat page |
| Plan | Free |
| Allowance | Free: 20 successful source imports per local day, up to 5 per batch. Pro removes both limits. |
| Data flow | The material you select is sent to Google NotebookLM. Capture reads the source site from your browser. |

## Steps

1. Install [NotebookLM Ultra Exporter](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/notebooklm-ultra-exporter/afchokljnhhggkhedfbmkcmdagjmjchj) in desktop Chrome, then refresh any open NotebookLM (Gemini Notebook) tab.
2. Open the conversation in ChatGPT and scroll so the messages you need are loaded.
3. Click the extension icon and choose to capture the current conversation.
4. Check the preview, pick the target notebook and confirm.

## Limits to know

- Only loaded messages are captured. Very long chats use virtual scrolling, so scroll through them first.
- This captures the open conversation. Importing your past conversations in bulk is a separate Pro feature.
- Google's own limits still apply: sources per notebook, file size and accepted file types are decided by NotebookLM, and Pro does not raise them.
