Frequently asked questions
What is the best AI for summarising a course?
NotebookLM is best suited: it summarises only your own notes and documents, without inventing information. ChatGPT and Claude are more versatile if you also want to rephrase or deepen a point.
Can you summarise a long course in a few key points?
Yes: import the course into NotebookLM or paste into Claude (both handle long documents) and ask for a structured summary by subtopic, with key definitions and dates highlighted.
You work as student and want to automate “summarising a course”?
We help you choose and set up the right tool for how you work.
