This is my research guy, I drop the docs and it shapes clean briefs, outlines and pulls quotes with sources. It's great for sense-making before I draft.
Rated it
pretty impressed ngl, notebooklm has that upload-and-go vibe: toss in docs/pdfs/links and it spins uo tight summaries, key takeaways and smart follow-ups with receipts so you can trace every claim. it still feels early in spots (big files can hitch, tables/quotes sometimes get flattened and the formatting/export controls are kinda mid). w

Great for generating podcasts from documents. There are more than that including mind map but I only used podcast until now. With the recent update you can also join the podcast. Useful tool.

Crazy stuff right here. I can throw in my lessons into this thing and it can make a simple to understand essay on everything, such a lifesaver. Undisputed 10/10 for me, I can't go back.

tested out notebooklm and really liked how easy it was to jump into. the interface feels intuitive and the AI insights were genuinely helpful. i appreciate the way it breaks down complex ideas clearly without feeling overwhelming. one thing i'd add is maybe an option to reorganize or drag-and-drop notes for easier reference later on. the free version is solid but limits the number of documents you can process. overall, a smooth and definitely handy for organizing research or notes.

Super helpful for organizing notes and turning them into useful stuff.

This AI whips raw docs into tidy, source-linked summaries in a flash, mind maps and slide outlines included. Slick, snappy and free, though still fumbles with complex tables.
Rated it
Great for working through dense research. Love how it pulls direct references and sticks to the source material. Bit rigid sometimes, but that’s also kind of the point.
Rated it
This tool is great for conversing with a set of documents. Plus it provides references so you can click and it will show you exactly what document and section of the document where it derived its information. It also now provides summaries. Finally you can keep all resources selected or deselect a subset of the references for a specific response. Plus it is very rigid for using the resources you provide. Downside it sometimes get references wrong and you sometimes have to provide its response in your message if you want to respond to a specific section of the AIs message. Overall though great for the cost.

AMAZING! And also free to use. Highly recommended to try

This is a great interface for a lot of purposes, especially learning and research. That said, I do love the audio overviews feature. Will be even better when voices can be changed or customized.
Rated it
The voice overview and the summary is really, really good. I wish it supports more languages.
Rated it
This fits nicely with the description of a killer app.

Love it! super useful for study and creating marketing content!

Sounds like two people sharing the same braincells talking. Other than that, the voice overview feature is good. And just really good AI overall

NotebookLM Source Bound Mind Map Orchestrator

Copy
Build a Mind Map about {topic} (home coffee brewing) using only the sources in this notebook. Keep it small and clear. Aim for {main_groups} main groups (five) and up to {per_group} subtopics in each group (three). Use short names under six words and add dates in names when a source shows them. Put a quick citation next to every node that points to the exact passage or timestamp in my source.

When two nodes cover similar ideas, draw a connection and add a seven word note that explains the overlap. When sources disagree, mark that node as disagreement, cite both sides, and write one neutral sentence that describes the difference without adding outside info. After the map is done, write one short paragraph that explains each main group and mentions the strongest evidence for it with citations. Save the Mind Map to Studio, then return one simple line that lists the main group names separated by commas.
Here is a mind map about home coffee brewing, drawing on the provided sources:

Explanation of Main Groups:
Brewer Selection Factors highlights the practical considerations individuals weigh when choosing a coffee brewing method. These factors go beyond mere taste and include the speed of brewing, the amount of cleanup required, and the volume of coffee typically consumed in a household. For example, convenience was a priority for the author early on, leading her to use K-cups and vending machines.
Coffee Flavor Basics explains the fundamental elements contributing to a coffee's flavor, according to experts Dan Pabst and Giorgio Milos. Key aspects include the terroir—where and how the beans are grown—and the roast level, which Milos notes is a matter of personal taste. Additionally, the use of paper filters impacts flavor by absorbing oils from the beans, which can otherwise interfere with the taste.
Taste Test Methods (Sep 2022) outlines the rigorous methodology used in September 2022 for the author's "cage-match style cup-off" to identify the single best cup of coffee. The primary goal was to replicate the author's ideal of a rich, smooth, complex, and slightly bitter Italian-style brew. To ensure fairness, many variables were meticulously controlled, such as using Starbucks Pike Place medium roast beans, grinding each batch fresh with a burr grinder, and judging all brews black.
Home Brewing Methods categorizes the five home brewing methods tested based on their flavor ratings. The lower-rated methods included the standard drip machine (5/10) and the French press (7/10), which resulted in thinner or less deep flavors. The Moka pot, a classic Italian method, offered a robust, slightly bitter flavor (8/10). The top-rated methods were the pourover (9/10), yielding a rich and robust taste, and the AeroPress (10/10), which produced a dark, smooth, and rich cup with minimal bitterness.
Key Learnings & Tips encapsulates the significant insights and actionable advice gleaned from the author's coffee brewing journey and expert consultations. A pivotal realization was the profound impact of the author's trip to Italy, which redefined her understanding of great coffee. The overall experience demonstrated that achieving Italian café-level quality is within reach for home brewers. Key advice includes using a burr grinder for an even grind and preferring paper filters to absorb oils for a cleaner taste.

    I’ve been using Collate to go through technical PDFs, and it’s been surprisingly handy. Summarizing docs and being able to ask questions directly saves me time, especially when I’m skimming through research or API references. No sign-ups, works offline, and everything stays on my device — which I appreciate.
