Though a new AI tool seems to launch almost every day, the truth is most of them aren’t all that impressive. I’ve been testing as many as I can, both for work and in my personal life, and only one has really stood out: NotebookLM. I probably open it more often than any other app, and it’s become an essential part of my workflow. It’s packed with genuinely useful features that I could rave about all day. But that in no way means it’s perfect. In fact, I could probably go on just as long about the few things that frustrate me. I managed to create Chrome extension in particular that solves what I consider one of NotebookLM's most annoying limitations - export to PDF. Though NotebookLM's viral Audio Overviews feature and other learning tools like Flashcards, Mind Maps, Video Overviews, and Quizzes are great, I've always said loud and clear that the tool's best feature is the ability to interact with your sources by asking questions and getting clear, context-aware answers in return. Since NotebookLM is a source-grounded tool, it only references the sources you upload to your notebook and doesn't search the web or rely on its own intelligence to answer your queries. Now, while I absolutely love the Chat panel and use it constantly, one of my biggest frustrations has been that saving conversations for later is a pain. Unlike most AI tools, NotebookLM doesn't automatically save your conversation history. And since the tool is AI-powered, you pretty much get a different response every time you ask the same question, which makes it even more important to hold on to the useful chats you do get. While a Save to note button does appear at the bottom of each response, it only saves the response to the Studio panel, and you have to keep hitting it over and over again if you want to preserve the whole conversation. You then need to manually find the response you want in the Studio panel, and since NotebookLM doesn't have a robust search system, digging through saved notes gets extremely time-consuming. When scrolling through the r/notebooklm subreddit, I came across to a lot of users that are experience same pain as me. So solved this exact problem. The NotebookLM to PDF Chrome extension lets you save your entire conversation history in any notebook with just a click. What the extension does is add a Convert to PDF button at the top-right corner of the Chat panel. When you're ready to save your chat history, all you need to do is click the button, and the download immediately begins.
