AI Study Mode
Summary, notes, questions and flashcards from one PDF.
Your original PDF stays in this browser. Extracted text may be sent to the AI provider when you run an AI action.
About AI Study Mode
Upload one PDF and get a summary, revision notes, practice questions and flashcards — four things a lecture, chapter or paper usually needs, without uploading it four times. Each is generated separately, so each is as long as it should be.
Everything is generated from the document's text and nothing else. Each question comes with an explanation naming the part of the document it came from, so you can check the answer instead of trusting it — which is the only way to use generated study material honestly.
How to AI Study Mode
Upload one document
A lecture, a chapter, a paper, a set of notes. This is one upload, not four — the summarizer, notes, quiz and flashcard pages all still exist separately if you only want one of them.
Pick a size and a difficulty
5, 10 or 20 questions or cards, and Easy, Medium or Hard. Ten is a reasonable default for a single sitting. If you are revising for an exam, Hard and 20 are worth the wait.
Work through the four tabs
Summary to know what you are dealing with, notes to revise from, questions to test yourself on, flashcards for quick recall. Each tab is generated by its own request, so “Generate” on an empty tab makes exactly what that tab needs rather than a thin slice of everything.
Check the explanations
Every question carries an explanation naming the part of the document it came from. That is the part worth using — it lets you confirm an answer instead of accepting it. If something is not in your document, that is a real failure worth noticing.
AI Study Mode details and limits
One upload, not four
The summarizer, notes, quiz and flashcard pages are all still here and none of them has changed. This page exists because the awkward part was never the tools — it was uploading the same lecture four times to use four of them. Here the upload happens once and the four outputs sit in tabs underneath it.
Four requests, not one
Asking for a summary, notes, twenty questions and twenty cards in a single request returns something thin across all four, and the failure is invisible because each part is still *something*. Generating each separately costs more time and more tokens and means the summary is a real summary. It is the right trade for a page someone is about to revise from at midnight.
The explanations are the point
Every question comes with an explanation saying which part of the document the answer came from. That is what makes the material usable: it turns the quiz from something to accept into something to check. If a question or a flashcard is not in your document, the tool has failed visibly — which is far better than a plausible question you revise from for a week.
Questions the AI could not answer correctly
Sometimes the model names a correct answer that matches none of the options it wrote. Scoring it would mean marking you wrong for the answer you actually gave, so those questions are held out of the score entirely and the total says so — and you can still read and answer them. They are not dropped, because a quiz that silently shortens itself is the same failure with a quieter face.
Scans and what this cannot read
A scanned PDF has no text layer, so there is nothing to generate from and the tool will say so rather than invent a summary of blank pages. Run it through OCR PDF first. Text that is in the file but not extractable — a chart, a table rendered as an image, handwriting — is equally invisible here, and no amount of retrying will change that.
What this tool sends off your device
The extracted text goes to a third-party AI provider once for each item you generate, and nothing is kept afterwards. Your file itself is never uploaded and no account is created. For a document you cannot share with an external service, the local-only tools are the right choice and this one is not.
AI Study Mode questions
Is this different from the summarizer, notes, quiz and flashcard tools?
Those four pages are all still here and unchanged. This page composes them so you upload a lecture once and move through all four, instead of uploading the same file four times. Each item is generated by a separate request, which takes longer and costs more but means the summary is a real summary rather than the leftover space in a combined response.
How many questions or cards can I get?
5, 10 or 20. Ten is a reasonable default for a single sitting; 20 is worth it for a topic you will be examined on and is well worth a second look at the explanations.
Can the questions be wrong?
Yes, and it is worth being blunt about that. This is generated material. Every answer comes with an explanation saying which part of the document it came from, so you can check it rather than take it on trust — check it. If a question's answer cannot be matched to its options, it is left out of your score rather than marked against you.
Can I retake the quiz?
Yes — Try Again clears your answers and lets you redo the same set, and Regenerate asks for a different set from the same document, which is the more useful of the two once you have seen the answers.
Does it work on a scanned PDF?
Mostly not, and the failure is worth knowing about. A scan has no text layer, so there is nothing to read. Run it through OCR PDF first, then bring the result here.
Is my PDF stored?
No. The text is sent to our AI provider to generate each item and the request is discarded once it is answered. Nothing is kept, and no account is created.
