You can refine the logical structure of your writing and polish it for better clarity. The key is not to outsource the entire task to the AI, but to ask for a critique or revision based on your own draft.
Scenario: Refining a report

You can refine the logical structure of your writing and polish it for better clarity. The key is not to outsource the entire task to the AI, but to ask for a critique or revision based on your own draft.
Scenario: Refining a report
Benefits:
Discover personal "writing habits" or "misused conjunctions" that you might not notice yourself.
Expand your vocabulary with precise terminology like "cognitive augmentation" or "static utility".
Gain an objective perspective on your own logical structure through AI's feedback.
2-2. Utilizing Gemini: Brainstorming
2-2. Utilizing Gemini: Brainstorming
You can use Gemini as a sounding board to discover diverse perspectives and angles. It is effective for expanding your options when you are at a "zero state"—not knowing what to write.
Scenario: Brainstorming a presentation proposal or a graduation thesis theme.
Benefits:
Break through the "biases" that often occur when thinking alone.
Complete the process of "expanding ideas like a mind map" in a short amount of time.
2-3. Utilizing NotebookLM: Comparing Research Papers
2-3. Utilizing NotebookLM: Comparing Research Papers
With NotebookLM, you can upload multiple documents as "sources" to identify commonalities and differences. By using NotebookLM, you receive responses based solely on the materials you have selected, significantly increasing the accuracy of the information.
Tool: NotebookLM
Scenario: Reading and analyzing multiple previous studies to create a comparative table.
Example Steps:
(1) Upload the research papers (PDFs or URLs) you wish to compare as sources.
(2) In the chat box, enter an instruction such as: "Create a comparative table for each of the uploaded papers based on three points: research methodology, target audience, and conclusions."
(3) The information will be organized in a table format, allowing you to easily compare the differences between each paper.
(4) By hovering your cursor over the citation numbers, the specific source of the information will be clearly indicated.
(5) You can further deepen your comparison by giving instructions such as: "What are the challenges mentioned in Paper A that are not addressed in Paper B?"
Benefits:
Pinpoint and compare only the necessary information from research papers spanning many pages.
High accuracy is maintained because the specific locations in the sources that form the basis of the response (citations) are clearly indicated.
