By uploading various sources—such as PDFs, Google Docs, websites, and YouTube videos—you can harness its AI to generate a range of outputs, including summaries, FAQs, study guides, and even audio podcasts. This makes it an essential tool for professionals seeking to streamline their workflows with AI.
