Every StudiAI tool, explained.

Create an account

You can sign up with an email address, with Google or with Apple. No card is required: the Free plan gives you the core tools with a renewed credit quota.

On your first sign-in, a short onboarding asks for your study level and your field. Those two answers calibrate quiz difficulty and the vocabulary used in your sheets: you can change them at any time in the settings.

Good to know: If you are under 15, a parent’s approval is requested before you can use the app (GDPR, article 8).

Upload a course

From the library, the upload button accepts drag and drop or a file picker. You can also paste text directly, which is handy for a course you took notes on.

Analysis starts immediately. It splits the document into chapters, spots the load-bearing ideas and prepares your revision material. Expect less than a minute for one chapter, a little more for a full set of lecture notes.

Generate your first tool

Once the course has been analysed, every chapter offers its tools: quiz, sheet, flashcards, summary. Start with the quiz: it is the one that tells you fastest what you already know.

• A chapter quiz always beats a semester quiz: split it up.
• Take the first run WITHOUT re-reading: the goal is to measure, not to perform.
• Note the cause of each mistake: forgotten, confused or not understood. They are not fixed the same way.

Supported formats

Documents: PDF, DOCX, ODT, RTF, HTML, EPUB. Slides: PPTX, ODP. Plain text: TXT, MD, CSV, TSV, TeX, RST, ORG, LOG. You can also paste text straight into the editor.

• Up to 25 MB per file, 5 files per upload.
• Files are checked on upload (extension AND binary signature): a file renamed to .pdf is rejected.

What does not work, and why

A SCANNED PDF with no text layer is an image: there is nothing to extract. Run it through character recognition first, or start again from the original document.

A very visual slide deck gives little to work with: slides usually carry keywords, not the reasoning. Complete them with your own lecture notes.

Good to know: Older binary formats (.doc, .ppt) are not accepted: parsing them is unreliable. Convert them to .docx or .pptx.

How it is built

Questions are generated from YOUR chapter, with wrong answers drawn from the real confusions of the subject: the neighbouring idea, the exception mistaken for the rule, the formula that is off by one factor. An absurd distractor is answered by elimination and teaches nothing.

Three levels are mixed inside one quiz: recall (“what is the definition”), understanding (“why does X lead to Y”) and application (“in this situation, does X apply”).

What makes it adaptive

On each run, the questions you get wrong come back more often and the ones you answer without hesitating are spaced out. You therefore spend less time on what you already know.

• Aim for 80 % before moving to the next chapter, not 100 %: the last twenty per cent often cost more than the first forty of the following chapter.
• Space your replays (the next day, then at D+7). Replaying three times in a row only memorises the questions.

The right way to use it

First write YOUR version from memory, course closed, gaps and all. Then open the generated sheet and fill in the blanks in another colour.

You get two pieces of information at once: what you had (your colour) and what you did not (the correction). The second list is your revision priority, ranked for free.

Good to know: A sheet you merely re-read is re-reading with extra steps. The effort of reconstruction is where the benefit lives.

Editing and export

Sheets can be edited: highlight, rewrite, delete what you do not need. A sheet you have reworked is already half yours.

PDF export lets you print it or read it offline.

The review schedule

Every card has its own next-review date. A card you get right is spaced out, a card you miss comes back sooner: not to the very beginning, only to the previous interval.

You only see the cards due today. That is what makes a session short and sustainable: five to fifteen minutes are enough once the rhythm is in place.

What not to put in them

Procedural skills — writing an essay, working through a case, building a proof — are not learned with cards. They need full assignments. Use mock exams for those.

How it is computed

You give an exam date and a realistic weekly pace. The plan places the first pass on each chapter, then its reviews: typically at D+2, D+7 and D+21.

If the deadline is close, intervals compress; if it is far, they stretch.

When you fall behind

The plan recomputes when you skip sessions, instead of leaving you with a backlog that keeps growing. That is what separates a living plan from a frozen table: it is not the missed session that kills a schedule, it is the debt.

Good to know: Keep one buffer session a week, with no content assigned. It absorbs the delay, or serves to revisit whatever feels shakiest.

What it produces

A one-page D-1 sheet: definitions in their exact wording, formulas, pivotal dates, the classic traps of the chapter. Nothing else.

Then a guided session: a lightning quiz on that sheet, an hour-by-hour plan until bedtime, and a short refresher on the morning of the exam.

How to use it

From the moment the sheet exists, you stop reading: you loop. Cover, recite, compare, start again on what you missed. Three or four rounds.

Good to know: Six hours of sleep beat two more hours of revision: consolidation happens overnight. If you have to choose at 2 a.m., sleep.

How it goes

An open question, your written answer, then a follow-up on what you left aside or phrased poorly. The session tracks your level: answer precisely and the questions get harder.

It is the format closest to an oral exam or a written course question, and the only one that trains phrasing — something neither multiple-choice nor flashcards work on.

Why it is essential in higher education

From undergraduate level onwards, an exam no longer asks you to recall but to mobilise: sort, choose, structure under time pressure. That skill is only acquired by doing whole papers, not application exercises.

One session a week from mid-semester is enough to make a real difference.

The marking

Every answer is reviewed with a commented mark scheme and the areas to improve. Immediate feedback on your own production is one of the best-documented conditions for progress, and it is exactly what a lecturer cannot provide to three hundred students.

Using them well

A summary is there to CHECK, not to learn. Write your own synthesis, then compare: what is missing from yours is exactly what needs revising.

Diagrams are particularly effective for processes and timelines, where a paragraph is unreadable and a timeline is remembered at a glance.

How to submit an assignment

Photo, PDF or pasted text. Add the question and, if you have it, the mark scheme: the correction is markedly sharper when it knows what was expected.

What you get out of it

Immediate feedback on your own work, where a paper marked by your teacher comes back three weeks later, when you no longer remember what you were trying to say.

Good to know: Marking does not replace writing. An assignment you did not write teaches you nothing, and the final exam happens without assistance.

When to use it

On a precise point where you are stuck, AFTER trying. The tutor is excellent at unblocking an idea; it is useless as a general method, because stringing together crystal-clear explanations without producing anything leaves nothing behind.

What the tool does and does not do

It works on FORM. It does not check facts, does not complete an unfinished argument and does not turn an empty paper into a good one.

It is useful to rework a text you wrote that sounds mechanical. It is not useful to disguise a text you did not write — and the exam itself happens without tools.

A clue, never a proof

No detector in the world is 100 % reliable, and there is no universal watermark in generated text. False positives are especially common on very academic writing or text written by non-native speakers.

The result should therefore be read as a style indicator, not a verdict. It is there to spot an overly smooth passage in your own work, not to accuse anyone.

How credits work

The cost depends on the tool and on the length of the document: a chapter quiz costs far less than a mock exam on a full set of notes. The cost is shown before each generation.

The Free plan gives you a quota to get started and try every core tool. Essential and Premium raise that quota, and Premium additionally unlocks Emergency Mode, assignment marking, mock exams and the AI one-on-one.

Top-ups

If you run out before the end of the cycle, one-off top-ups are available without changing your subscription. They are spent after your plan credits and stay valid for twelve months.

What is stored

Your documents and the generated material are kept in your account so you find them again from one session to the next. They are encrypted in transit and at rest, and hosted in the European Union.

You can delete a course at any time; deleting it takes the material derived from it with it.

Your rights

Exporting your data and permanently deleting your account are available from the settings, without going through support. The privacy policy details retention periods and processors.
