Claude is Anthropic’s assistant. The free plan is usable; Pro is $20 a month. The practical student reason to open it is context length: you can drop a long reading, a lecture transcript, or a messy notes export and ask for a map of the argument.
It still is not your course. Citations need checking. For a notebook that stays attached to a specific set of sources, NotebookLM is more honest. For a study workspace that turns those files into cards, Studycamp is.
