## 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 Claude and make sure 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; check the preview for gaps.
- Artifacts and attachments are captured only as far as their text is present in the page.
- 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.
