https://notebooklm.google.com/ is really handy for various things, you can throw a bunch of documents into it and then ask questions and chat interactively about their contents. I've got a notebook for a roleplaying campaign I'm running where I've thrown the various sourcebook PDFs, as well as the "setting bible" for my homebrew campaign, and even transcripts of the actual sessions. I can ask it what happened in previous episodes that I might have forgotten, or to come up with stats for whatever monster I might need off the cuff, or questions about how the rules work.
Copilot has been a fantastic programming buddy. For those going a little more in depth who don't want to spring for a full blown GitHub Copilot subscription and Visual Studio integration, there's https://voideditor.com/ - I've hooked it up to the free Gemini APIs and it works great, though it runs out of tokens pretty quickly if you use it heavily.
Nice, thanks! I've been looking for something I can stuff a bunch of technical manuals into and ask it to recite specifications or procedures. It even gave me the document and pages it got the information from so I could verify. That's really all I ever wanted from "AI".
To be honest, this is the only thing Google did right about AI IMO.
