SAVE TIME WITH THESE TOOLS

Perplexity AI

Perplexity AI emulates human-like responses and provides quick answers with cited sources. The just-released Chrome extension is also conveniently accessible.

You can ask questions about the current page, domain, or any topic. Perplexity also allows sharing answers via permalink and asking follow-up questions.

YouTube Summaries with ChatGPT

ChatGPT can be used to summarize YouTube videos using a free Chrome Extension called YouTube Summary. It does what the title suggests: video summaries that can help you save time while prepping lessons!

SlidesAI.io

SlidesAI.io is an efficient tool for creating professional and captivating presentations, allowing users to convert any text into visually appealing slides with minimal effort.

Here, users can select the total number of slides they need and let the tool handle the rest. It’s that easy!
