Briefy.ai As a media studies major with lots of readings, I use it to summarize PDFs and quickly reference the source. It’s also great for class—when my prof asks questions, I can ask Briefy for answers, which helps with participation. Briefy will only answer based on the materials input, so it's much better than randomly searching online with Google. Plus, it summarizes YouTube videos directly on the site, which I find super convenient.

Are you gauging productivity by time to completion of an objective or assignment, by achieved grade in the course, or by learning/retention/etc.? Are profs OK with students giving answers based on AI generated summaries? I wish do wish that written transcriptions were automatically available on youtube to make it easier to search and navigate within videos and skip irrelevant sections. I doubt it will happen though since irrelevant promotional sections make money. I also like the idea of being able to automatically generate a screenplay for any film or tv episode, though that might fall afoul of copyright law.

  Well, first of all, these answers are just for in-class participation and the prof will only ask the basic question within the article so it won't be hard. And we need to write a lot of essays, thus I need to read a lot of reading to see if they can be used for my references. But I can't get all the arguments or cases wi the abstract, then I will use Briefy to get the full summary. That's why I said it is productive. And also for videos as well, Briefy is designed specially for YouTube videos, and you can watch the summary, jump to the clip you want right on YouTube with its Chrome/Safari extension. I think you can have a try first, it offers a free plan with 30 credits.
