Frequently asked questions
What can I upload?
Lecture slides, PDFs, typed notes, and photographs or scans of handwritten notes. Everything you upload for one course lives in the same notebook, so cards and quizzes can draw on the whole course rather than a single file.
How does it handle handwriting and diagrams?
Pages are read one at a time, including diagrams and tables. Because handwriting recognition is imperfect, you can open any page and compare what was extracted against the original scan before you study from it.
Is the generated content accurate?
It is generated by a language model from your material, so treat it the way you would treat notes from a classmate: useful, and worth checking. Every note stays editable, any flashcard can be regenerated, and when you ask a question about a notebook the answer cites the note and section it drew from so you can verify it. If your material does not contain the answer, The Study Deck tells you rather than inventing one.
What is a study set?
One upload turned into study material: the structured notes, the flashcards, and the quizzes generated from it. Your plan limits how many you can create per month, because each one is a substantial amount of processing.
Is my course material used to train AI models?
No. Your uploads are used to generate your own study material and to answer your own questions. They are not used to train models and they are not shared with other users.
Who else can see what I upload?
Your material is private to your account by default. Processing runs on Google Cloud and uses the Google Gemini API, which means your documents pass through Google as a processor on our behalf. Details are in the privacy policy.
Can I delete my material and my account?
Yes. You can delete individual uploads and notes at any time, and you can request deletion of your account and everything in it. See the privacy policy for how to make that request and how long deletion takes.
Do I need to pay to try it?
No. The free plan covers one course notebook and three study sets a month, and does not ask for a card.
