The Research Tool I Wish Existed During My PhD
NotebookLM represents something genuinely new: an AI that is constitutionally incapable of making things up because it only draws from sources you provide. For academic work, this constraint is a feature, not a bug. I've used it to synthesize findings across 30+ papers for a literature review, and the audio overview feature creates surprisingly engaging summaries that help me pressure-test my own understanding.
Grounding LLMs in Your Own Data, Done Right
Upload 50 sources. Ask questions. Get answers that actually cite your documents. NotebookLM's audio overview feature converts dense research into surprisingly listenable podcasts, I've used it to prep for 3 conference talks. Loses a star because the source limit (50 docs, 500K words) forces you to curate aggressively for larger projects.
