Mix multiple choice, true/false and short answer for better recall
Save exports to PDF or DOCX on paid plans for offline review

Explanations for every answer

Each multiple-choice, true/false and short answer question comes with an explanation, so a wrong answer teaches you something.

Study in the browser

The free plan gives you 3 generations a month and lets you study right in the browser, with no download needed.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add your lecture notes, slides or readings. Photos of printed pages are read with text recognition.

Choose a question type

Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer, then generate a set based on the material you uploaded.

Practice and review

Work through the questions, read each explanation, and redo the ones you missed until the topic holds.

Each question includes an explanation, which matters more than the score. Read why the right answer is right and why the distractors are wrong, then rebuild the reasoning in your own words. Paid plans add spaced repetition, so missed questions come back at the right time.
