Whether you’re preparing for a major investigation, working through court documents or making sense of a lengthy report, AI can dramatically speed up your research.
In this session, Helena Bengtsson shows you how NotebookLM and Pinpoint can be used to organise information, uncover key facts and support you when working on stories with lots of documents or data.
During the session you’ll learn:
- Practical ways to work with court documents, FOI responses, annual reports and other large document sets
- Real examples of how journalists are using these tools in their reporting
