To continue NotebookLM work in ChatGPT, export the notes, report or chat to Markdown with NotebookLM Ultra Exporter, which is free, and upload the file to a ChatGPT chat or project. ChatGPT then has the grounded summary and its citation markers as context.

| Notes and reports | Markdown | [How to export](https://nlmexporter.com/guides/export/notes-to-markdown) |
| Chat history | Markdown | [How to export](https://nlmexporter.com/guides/export/chat-history-to-markdown) |

## Good to know

The export carries the text and citation markers, not the source documents themselves. Attach key sources too if ChatGPT needs to quote them.

The extension creates files on your computer. It does not sign in to ChatGPT, and nothing is sent to ChatGPT until you import the file yourself.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does NotebookLM have a built-in ChatGPT integration?

No. Gemini Notebook has no built-in connection to ChatGPT. The working route is a file: export from NotebookLM in a format ChatGPT reads (Markdown), then import or open it there.

### Can I go the other way, from ChatGPT to NotebookLM?

Yes. See [send a ChatGPT conversation to NotebookLM](https://nlmexporter.com/guides/import/chatgpt-conversation-to-notebooklm).

### Does my content pass through a server on its way to ChatGPT?

No. Files are converted in your browser and saved to your downloads folder. You move them into the other app yourself.
