Viktor Ahrens of Dungeons of Doria shared this tool for designers. Seems extremely helpful!

One thing we discussed today in the Dungeon Dive Zoom call (if you want to join that, simply support the Dungeon Dive Patreon!) is https://notebooklm.google.com.If you have a PDF of a rules booklet (most publishers have them on the website or on BGG), you can simply upload it and then ask questions about.
I tested it with my own rulebook for Dungeons of Doria and was really impressed. It answered all questions about rules correct, added citations from the rule book and I could also ask questions like “I now opened a door, what are the next steps” or “can you give me 3 sentences of how to setup the game”.
It is mostly quoting rules, but for a quick search / question, this is a dream. Especially for larger rulebooks (which most of the games we play are…).
The only thing that it had incorrect was a question like “in the threat / doom counter phase if the characters are in two rooms and opened a door, how many steps does it move down?”. Answer was one, where it should have been two instead - but it also gave all the explanation, which was completely correct, it just couldn’t count or calculate apparently…
Another project similar to that, but where publishers will directly upload their games, is boardgamebot.ai, very similar, but takes another 12 days to get published.
