1.聽Transform your notes
If you have tonnes of notes and you鈥檙e finding all the information you have to learn overwhelming, ask聽 to turn them into a podcast!
You can upload notes, slides, audio files, YouTube links and more to create a personalised podcast based on what you鈥檝e uploaded. Unlike other LLMs, it only uses the sources you鈥檝e added, meaning it won鈥檛 make mistakes or make things up - unless you upload incorrect information!
The podcasts it generates sound like a genuine conversation between two people, and turn the driest topic into an engaging discussion you can listen to anywhere. You can ask it questions, make a quiz, get ideas for flashcards, create study guides, and more.
Tip: if you鈥檙e struggling with a concept, ask NotebookLM to 鈥渆xplain it to me like I鈥檓 5鈥�!
2. Test yourself
Head to聽聽to quickly聽turn notes, YouTube videos, recordings and more into flashcards聽and quizzes. Gizmo is great because it can give you聽multiple-choice questions or open-ended prompts to test yourself on the content in different ways.聽Plus, you can access a library of other users鈥� cards, so you don鈥檛 always have to start from scratch.
Tip: If you鈥檙e having trouble remembering something, you can ask it to explain and throw in more questions to really get the hang of it.
3. Get creative
The more interesting or funny your notes are, the more memorable they will be. You can ask Chat GPT to create a song, rap, poem or even a stand-up routine about any topic or piece of text!
4.聽Get rid of distractions
Our attention spans are shorter than ever and focussing on work can be challenging.聽聽is an聽app that helps you to stay focused by setting a timer to study and in each session you鈥檒l grow a tree, gradually building a forest as you work. But if you leave the app during the timer your tree will die!
4. Take a break
If you need a bit of a break from revision, then Chat GPT can also help you out! If you want to chat with someone, play a game or hear some fun facts, the chatbot has you covered!
If you fancy getting away from your desk, Chat GPT can recommend films or a TV show to binge. Or, why not ask Chat GPT to give you a recipe idea so you can make a healthy meal during your revision break?
It鈥檚 important to remember not to use AI Large Language Models (LLM) for work that you are going to submit. For example, don鈥檛 use Chat GPT to write the answer to a question in your coursework, as this could get flagged for plagiarism and get you into trouble.
