Tired of endlessly sifting through multiple documents and resources when studying or researching? NotebookLM, Google's AI-powered tool, can revolutionise your workflow when it comes to analysing all this data.

NotebookLM can summarise complex information, answer your questions, and even analyse images and charts! It can even help with generating study guides with short form and essay style questions for you!

And the best part is that you can have separate, saved notebooks for each of your topics. It's the ultimate AI Powered Study tool!

Check out my walkthrough video below, and massive thanks to Sam Richards PhD for graciously letting me use his SAMI Galaxy Survey papers for my demo!
