I'm looking for some AI tools to summarize research papers, case laws, etc. I'm a legal researcher, this will save a lot of time. Free ones will be better for students.

Edit: I decided to go with getrecall ai, thank you for your recommendations!

So I have Tanna.ai now which is great, but a problem is that sometimes I need to take notes from PDFs that have a lot of pictures in them and want AI to fill in the blanks. I was able to do this with ChatGPT4o and it did a great job, but I have to split the PDFs into 10 - 15 page chunks which is inconvenient.

I'm wondering if there's any other apps out there at do this and will let me put in full PDFs. I'm willing to pay don't don't want to pay anymore than $10 USD a month. WIlling to do a yearly plan as well.

Hello everyone, could you please recommend a good AI app that can convert a 50+ page PDF into concise, high-quality notes? Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I've recently used up the free trial for Coral ai and it felt pretty good but i cant pay for it, so im looking for something similar. any recs?

I’ve tested quite a few tools recently for summarizing, organizing, and reviewing content, from class notes to podcasts. Here’s what stood out, starting with the one I’ve been using most:

1. getrecall.ai: It handles YouTube, PDFs, Spotify/Apple Podcasts, and web pages. Summarizes into bite-sized cards, lets you chat with your notes, and builds a self-organizing knowledge base. Been super helpful for studying and content review.

2. Mindgrasp: Good at summarizing lectures and answering questions from uploaded material. Feels geared toward students, especially for exams and dense PDFs.

3. Obsidian: Not AI-first, but ideal for linking concepts and building a knowledge graph. Works great with community plugins.

4. Evernote: Still decent for basic note organization and sync, but hasn’t really kept pace with newer AI-powered tools.

5. Notion: Flexible for team or solo use. Notion AI helps with summaries and generation, though it’s more assistant-style than research deep dive.

6. Eightify: If you want a quick hit of what a video’s about, it’s fast and reliable. But lacks deeper interaction with the content.

7. NotebookLM: Google’s experimental tool lets you upload docs and chat with them. Promising for research-heavy tasks, but still in beta.

8. NoteGPT: Handles both YouTube and PDFs with a nice UI. Helps with creating study notes fast, though less interactive than Recall.

Let me know what else is worth trying, especially anything that handles long-form stuff without breaking.

Pretty much the title, i have 30 pdfs of slides i want summarized study notes for and i cant find any ai website that will let me do more than 3 uploads.

So heres the thing, I was surprised when I discovered it but if you put the link of the pdf on Infermatic.ai with the Mixtral model it can reads the pdf and gives you a summary and all the stuff you want.

I've used as inspiration to write my stories with what I already have, so I thought you may also wanna try it!

Update:

It resulted that this is not the strongest point of the website so the answers it gives about the pdf may be sometimes incorrect or incomplete, so what I've been doing is using other AI tool to get the information i want of the pdf and paste it on Infermatic to structure my papers and scripts.

On the comment section there were recommendations about other AI tools that I tried to I'm gonna leave them:

- The free version of Claude will let you attach all kinds of files to chat

- https://www.futuretools.io/ (You can search all kind of AI tools here)

Hello hello!

I'm trying to go digital and organise my life by trying to find AI tools that can help me organize, summarize, and retain information across different types of media. I know there might not be a single tool that does everything, but I’d love suggestions on the best tools or combinations for my needs.

It seems there are so many new apps created in this space it's hard to know what can be trusted and has long-term lifespan. Any personal recommendations would be valued.

Here’s a breakdown of what I’m looking for:

1. Summarizing YouTube Videos: I’d like a tool that offers detailed written summaries (beyond a short overview) for both YouTube videos and video podcasts.

2. Summarizing Audio Podcasts: Similar to the above, with the ability to generate in-depth summaries of audio-only podcasts.

3. Saving, Annotating, and Summarizing Web Pages: I do a lot of online reading and want a tool to save web pages for later, highlight sections, and then summarize them with AI. If it also supports active learning tools like quizzes or spaced repetition for my highlighted content, that would be ideal.

4. Voice Note Transcription and Memory Bank Creation: I’d like to record voice notes (lectures, book chapters, ideas, etc.) and have them transcribed, then saved into an AI-assisted “second brain.” It would be helpful to ask questions like, “What notes do I have on topic ‘X’?” and receive a summary of points on that topic.

5. Handwritten Note Conversion: Sometimes, writing out notes helps me retain information better. If possible, I’d like to use my Samsung S Pen or Apple Pencil for handwritten notes and have those notes converted to searchable text.

6. Convert previous audio recordings of meetings into transcribed text and have AI analyse the notes.

7. Journaling: I want to start journaling, so any tool with built-in features for journaling or tracking thoughts would be great.

8. PDF and eBook Highlights: I also read PDFs and eBooks and often highlight key points. It would be great to save those highlights and have them integrated into my knowledge base.

Ideally, I’d like to link all this information in a searchable database, with AI helping me connect notes, summaries, and highlights. Cross-platform compatibility (Windows, Android, iPad/iOS) is important. I use my Samsung Android phone most heavily/frequently, but I also have a Windows laptop and iPad.

Any insights regarding privacy, especially for sensitive material (like personal journaling or work-related confidential notes)?

I know these features might require multiple tools, and I’m curious about cost-effective options (especially any lifetime subscription deals) since I’m worried about costs adding up with multiple paid services.

I’m also looking to avoid overly complex tools that are quick to use ( For example with the voice notes app it would be great to have a shortcut that can launch instant recording rather than multiple steps to start using it )

Not sure if this is relevant to the above but I also want to look at a personal management system such as to-do lists and Google calendar.

Thank you in advance everyone 🙏

Hi everyone, I need to read a ton of research papers in pdfs for my master thesis and I saw when they presented bing AI that it was capable of doing that, is there anyway or any other AI that you can suggest me to use to shed off some work? Thank you a lot

^{I want a tool that can generate notes to study from my study material pdf. My pdf is around 800 pages but I don't want to study whole of it because the in my exam they give relatively less weight to topic concerned with the book but they do ask questions from it. So I want a tool that can reduce page to about 200 or less so I can study whole if it without losing much.}

I’ve got a pile of PDFs to go through—textbooks, reports, and research papers and I’m hoping to speed things up with a reliable AI summarizer.

Looking for something that:
– Handles large or complex files
– Provides precise, detailed summaries (not mere general overviews)
– Works with scanned/image-based PDFs too (bonus!)

Could you please share which AI tools have been effective for you? Free or paid, I’m down to try anything that saves time.

Does anybody know of an AI study tool that takes practice questions (in the form of PDFs) and creates questions similar in nature to them?

Any other AI study tool recommendations would be greatly appreciated as well!

Currently I just use ChatGPT to make notes for me. I saw a friend using NotebookLM and tried that but it does not seem good, or maybe I'm just not using it correctly. What tools do you guys use / recommend? I am looking for something to condense large readings down but still contain the necessary information, vocab, etc. and also give me like review materials to supplement my understanding.

I'm kind of really short on time and my book is boring AF so I'd be really grateful if somebody could help me figure out a way around it 😭

What’s the best AI note-taking app right now for students/meetings? One with both recording and uploading capabilities for transcription and with AI “chat”?

Maybe something that uses GPT-4, since that seems to be the best working LLM.

I’ve used Otter; the transcription was pretty good, but its chat was absolute trash.
