# Bulk Import Content into NotebookLM (Chrome Extension)

Hey! If you’re using Google’s NotebookLM for research, YouTube playlists with 50 videos you need to click one by one.&#x20;

That’s exactly why I built [**NotebookLM Tools**](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/notebooklm-tools/hiibkpjljigehlnnecbgehkhfibmahjn).
