Under the hood
How student.study works
student.study turns a topic or your notes into flashcards and quiz questions in six steps: a safety check, a plan, writing, automatic validation, a second AI fact-check and, if needed, a top-up. Only then do you see the set.

Our part
What happens after you press the button?
Accuracy is the product, so most of the work happens before you see anything. Every set goes through the same pipeline:
- 1
Safety check
Your topic and notes are checked first. We don't make sets on sexual, hateful, violent, self-harm or illegal topics, or anything meant to cheat in a live exam.
- 2
Plan
The AI works out the subject, the level, the curriculum and the key ideas a good set on this topic must cover, before writing a single card.
- 3
Write
Cards are written one idea at a time, with short fronts and backs. Questions follow strict formats: multiple choice with four options and one correct answer, true or false, or short answer with a list of accepted answers. Every question gets an explanation.
- 4
Validate in code
Automatic rules reject duplicates, answers given away in the question, repeated or missing options, and anything too long, and make sure every question has exactly one marked answer.
- 5
Fact-check
A second AI pass reviews every card and question against your notes (if you gave any) and established knowledge, and fixes or drops what it can't stand behind. Each multiple-choice and true/false question is also answered blind, without the answer key: if that doesn't reach the marked answer, the question is dropped. This is what catches questions with two defensible answers.
- 6
Top up or tell you
If items were dropped, more are written and checked to reach the number you asked for. If it still falls short, the set says so honestly instead of padding it out.
Your notes
What changes when you use your own notes?
When you paste or upload notes, the set is grounded in them: every card and question has to be answerable from what you pasted, and the fact-check pass checks items against your notes as well as against established knowledge. That keeps the set inside your course, using your teacher's terms.
The fact-check also compares items with established knowledge, but a set built from notes can only be as good as the notes themselves, so it is worth reading them through first.
Worldwide
How does it handle different countries and languages?
Sets are written in the language you choose, and follow the conventions of the country you pick: spelling, units, number formats, the names of courses and qualifications. Maths is written in standard notation so formulas display properly.
AI models are strongest in widely used languages. In less common languages, check the set against your textbook with extra care, and report anything that reads oddly.

Money
How is student.study free?
There is no paid plan. Running costs are kept down with daily limits, and we plan to cover them with ads on some public pages. Ads never appear inside the flashcard or quiz players, in onboarding, or next to buttons you might tap by accident. Read more about us.
