FAQ

How are uploaded notes, PDFs, and transcripts stored and deleted?

Files are processed to generate outputs and are not published. You can delete uploaded files from your session or account if applicable. For detailed retention and deletion options, review the platform privacy policy and the in‑tool file controls before uploading sensitive material.

How do I export guides and flashcards to other apps or printers?

Choose the export format you need: printable one-page summaries, CSV for flashcards (columns: Question, Answer, Tag, Difficulty), or plain-text/markdown for note apps. CSV files can be imported into Anki, Quizlet, or spreadsheet tools; summaries are formatted for easy printing.

How do I set exam date, difficulty, and time budget for a personalized plan?

When you select a revision-plan output, enter your exam date, select a difficulty level (beginner/intermediate/advanced), and specify weekly hours. The generator produces day-by-day tasks with estimated durations and spaced-repetition cues based on those inputs.

Should I verify generated practice answers and how do I audit sources?

Yes. Generated answers are meant as study aids and should be verified against trusted sources. Use the citation-backed prompt to produce inline citations and a short further-reading list for auditing. Treat the generator as a productivity tool, not a substitute for source verification.

What capabilities are available at no cost and when might upgrades be needed?

The guided generator and basic exports are available to try for free. Advanced exports, larger batch processing, or team collaboration features may require a paid plan. See the pricing page for current plan comparisons and limits.

Can teachers assign generated materials and how should academic honesty be handled?

Instructors can use the generator to create practice materials, but academic integrity policies should be enforced locally. Use generated content as study aids, formative assessment, or in-class practice, and make expectations clear to students about original work for graded assignments.

How does the generator extract key concepts from videos, transcripts, and long PDFs?

When you provide transcripts or pasted text, the tool identifies topic headings, repeated concepts, and signal phrases to prioritize core ideas. For long PDFs or videos, paste a transcript or key excerpts to focus the summary; you can also provide a syllabus or learning objectives to guide prioritization.

Which languages are supported for guide generation?

The generator supports major languages for summarization and flashcard creation. If you plan to use multilingual materials, paste the source text and specify the target language in your prompt; some advanced language features may vary by input quality and complexity.
