ObsiBridge for NotebookLM [WIP]

Warning: Work-In-Progress

ObsiBridge adds a single button inside NotebookLM's Add sources dialog and fills the Copied text tab with a merged export of your Obsidian markdown files.

What it does

1. Reads markdown files from your selected vault directory.
2. Skips noisy or irrelevant files and folders:

• folders: .obsidian, .git, .trash, templates, template, archive, archives, node_modules
• files: .excalidraw.md

3. Cleans markdown before export:

• removes YAML frontmatter
• removes dataview code blocks
• replaces embeds/images with [embedded file omitted: ...]

4. Inserts the merged result into NotebookLM.
5. Optionally saves the generated summary to .obsidian/ObsiBridge-summary.md.

Setup

1. Open chrome://extensions/.
2. Enable Developer mode.
3. Click Load unpacked and select this project folder.
4. Open the extension Options page and choose your Obsidian vault folder.

Usage

1. Open NotebookLM and open Add sources.
2. Click ObsiBridge.
3. The extension fills Copied text and tries to submit automatically.
4. If auto-submit is not available in current NotebookLM UI, confirm manually.

Warning: The current phrase matching supports only English and Russian NotebookLM UI text.
