How do I use NotebookLM with Obsidian?

Free + ProVerified · NotebookLM / Gemini Notebook·Markdown

Short answer

There is no official connection, so you move Markdown in both directions. Out: export notes, chats and mind maps from NotebookLM as Markdown, or archive the notebook as an Obsidian-style folder with frontmatter and a wiki-link index. In: import vault notes as text sources. NotebookLM Ultra Exporter does both.

What to know

  • Single Markdown exports are free.
  • Folder sync to a vault, which writes only what changed, is Pro.
  • It is not two-way sync: edits in Obsidian do not return to NotebookLM.

Google changes these menus often. The item's own menu in your notebook shows what is built in today.

Free or Pro?

The basics are free; the advanced options listed on this page need Ultra Exporter Pro. Pro covers the extension only; it does not include a Google subscription or raise NotebookLM's own limits. Current prices are on the pricing page.
