Notebook.lm ExampleNotebook LM is a tool from Google that allows you to upload PDFs, websites, YouTube videos, audio files, Google Docs, or Google Slides, and NotebookLM will summarize them using only he information in the sources you upload- no hallucinations from the World Wide Web. I recommend advisors and students use this tool to help them schedule and keep track of their project progress.
