Study Modes Explained

Key Points
Extracts the most important facts, definitions, and concepts from your text. Useful for revision checklists and exam preparation.
Simplify Notes
Rewrites dense or technical language into plain, clear terms. Helps when source material is difficult to read or heavily jargon-laden.
Flashcard Q&A
Generates question-and-answer pairs for active recall practice. Works with any flashcard app including Anki and Quizlet.
Short Summary
A 3–5 sentence overview of the main idea and key takeaways from the material. Good for quick review before a lecture or exam.

Common Use Cases

Students use this tool to condense dense reading into manageable revision notes before exams. Lecturers and tutors use it to create quick study aids from existing course materials. Professionals use it to digest long training documents, policy papers, or technical reports into summaries they can act on. The Flashcard Q&A mode works particularly well with factual subjects — history, science, medicine, law — where structured recall practice is most effective.

Why Use This Free Tool

Creating good study notes from raw text is one of the most time-consuming parts of studying. This tool accelerates the process without replacing your understanding — you still review and engage with the output, but you spend less time on mechanical reformatting. It works with any subject and any text, runs entirely in your browser, and uses your own API key so there are no limits imposed by this tool. There is no account required and no data is stored.

FAQ

Will the AI add information not in my text?
No. The prompts instruct the AI to work only from the content you provide. It structures and simplifies, but does not generate new facts.
How long can the source material be?
Up to around 2,000 words works well. For longer texts, split by section and generate notes in batches.
Can I use flashcards mode with a spaced repetition app?
Yes. Copy the Q&A pairs into Anki, Quizlet, or any flashcard tool. The format is designed to be easy to paste.
