How it works

From a document to knowledge you keep, in three steps

  1. 1

    Add what you’re reading

    Upload a file, paste a link or DOI, or send a page from your browser. Choose the chapters you need.

  2. 2

    Get a map and slides

    The main ideas in learning order, with slides for each topic. Every point cites the page it came from. Prefer to read or listen first? Open the source in the Reader and map just the sections you want.

  3. 3

    Learn it, then prove it

    A voice guides you through the map. Quick checks, games and flashcards make it stick.

What you get

Built for understanding, not skimming

Every point is cited

Each bullet on a slide links to the page and the sentence it came from. Click it and the source opens at that passage, highlighted. Quotes the source doesn’t contain are flagged.

A guide that talks you through it

Press Guide me and a natural voice explains the map topic by topic. Key facts pin themselves to the map as they’re said. Pause, go back, or ask a question at any point.

Practice that makes it stick

Quick checks during the lesson, quizzes, matching games and flashcards that come back just before you’d forget. Every answer shows the passage that proves it.

The source, to read or to hear

The Reader shows the original, with its pictures, formulas and code; every citation opens it at the quoted words. Read at your pace or let a natural voice read it, skipping citations and footnotes. Highlight, comment, then map just the chapters you need.

Private by design

Your documents and maps stay in your browser, or in your own Google Drive or OneDrive with Pro. Use your own AI key, or your Claude or ChatGPT subscription with Plus; your key never reaches our servers. Download your work any time.

Natural voices, on your device

Hear how it explains

The guide, the Reader and every answer can be read aloud. The voices run in your browser: free, private, and quick once they’re set up.

Try your own words

Setting up the voice, first time only…

The first time, the voice downloads once (); after that it starts in about a second. This voice reads the language you type.

  • Runs in your browser
  • Your text stays private
  • Quick to set up

The voices and their portraits are AI-generated. In Microsoft Edge, its multilingual voices are offered too.

Questions

Good to know

Is it really free?

Yes. The Free plan includes 3 projects with guided lessons, games and flashcards, using your own AI key. Plus adds 30 projects, bigger documents, PowerPoint and your Claude or ChatGPT subscription; Pro adds Google Drive and OneDrive sync. Compare plans.

Do I need an AI key?

For your own maps and slides, yes: a free Gemini key works, or connect your Claude or ChatGPT subscription. Reading or listening to a source in the Reader needs no AI, and the demos need nothing at all.

Where are my documents stored?

In your browser, on your device. Requests to the AI go straight from your browser to the provider you chose. Privacy.

Can I trust what it says?

Every point links to the sentence it came from, and quotes that aren’t in the source are flagged, so you can check anything in one click.
