Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Gemini Notebook Toolkit and Web Clipper for NotebookLM?
Both are third-party Chrome extensions for Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM) that capture AI chats, social posts and YouTube. Web Clipper for NotebookLM focuses on exporting Studio outputs to other study tools, such as flashcards to Anki and mind maps to Obsidian. Gemini Notebook Toolkit focuses on your sources: it keeps a searchable library of what you capture, supports bulk import, and exports sources as Markdown, LaTeX, JSON or plain text.
Which one should students use?
If you study with Anki flashcards, Web Clipper for NotebookLM's Anki export is a direct fit. If you collect sources from many AI chats and websites and want to keep and search them outside Gemini Notebook, Gemini Notebook Toolkit fits better. Some people use one for capture and another for export.
