Things on this page are fragmentary and immature notes/thoughts of the author. Please read with your own judgement!

No, not directly in the way you might hope (i.e., pasting a URL and having it automatically fetch and parse the article content as a source). NotebookLM is designed to work with content you provide to it, primarily through: Uploading files: PDFs, Google Docs, text files (.txt). Pasting text directly into a note. Connecting to your Google Drive to select Google Docs. If you paste a URL into a note within NotebookLM, it will just be treated as a piece of text – a hyperlink you can click to open in your browser. NotebookLM itself will not go out to that URL, download the article, and process its content as a source document for its AI features. Workarounds to get web article content into NotebookLM: Copy and Paste: The simplest way is to go to the article, select the text you want, copy it, and then paste it into a new note in NotebookLM or into a text file/Google Doc that you then upload. Save as PDF: Most browsers allow you to "Print to PDF" or "Save as PDF." Save the article as a PDF, and then upload that PDF to NotebookLM as a source. This often preserves formatting better than plain copy-pasting. "Reader Mode" then Copy/Save: Many browsers have a "Reader Mode" that strips away ads and extraneous layout. Activate that, then either copy-paste the cleaner text or use "Print to PDF" on the reader mode version.
