Guide and practice for your work

Use AI for explanations and studying

Upload your lesson content and ask for an explanation at your level, followed by questions to check your understanding.

What will you get?An explanation you understand and questions to test yourself.

Let's understand the idea

If a lecture moves quickly or has lots of terms, start with a point you don't understand and a source you can revisit. The assistant can reorganize the explanation, give a relatable example, and provide practice. Confirm understanding by trying, rather than just finding the answer easy to read.

Explanations can use your files, general fundamentals, or current research. Specify which approach you want. For an exam or specific curriculum, make its content the basis and distinguish examples or additions outside the source.

Test file quality first. Poor recordings, unreadable images, or files above supported limits may block access to information. Ask what was read and what's missing instead of assuming every file will be fully understood.

After the explanation, answer a new question. Ask for the reasoning behind the feedback and the information's source location. When an approach suits you, save instructions for your level, explanation style, and review, then test it on another topic.

Examples to expand the idea

You have a two-hour lecture recording and a PDF handout. Upload them and say: “Explain this part as if I'm learning it from scratch, with an everyday example.” Before the exam, upload past papers and request questions in the same style.

  • From a summary to a question and an attempt

    Use the learning through practice workflow to test understanding without seeing the solution, then return to the source when reviewing mistakes.

  • Test understanding in your own words

    Explain the idea in your own words. Ask it to identify unsupported or unclear parts, without treating its assessment as a final verdict.

Choose the method before starting

There's more than one way to do this task

Open the menu and choose what fits your inputs and desired result. The method's guide appears directly below it.

Study from your sources

Gather lesson sources in a notebook or project. Ask for an explanation, then questions from the same content. Check answers and their source locations. Keep the answer key separate so you can test yourself first.

Try it on your work: Prepare what you'll work on and start with a small part. Review the result before continuing.

Apply it to something of your own

Steps from start to delivery

Open any step by its heading. Each explains what to do, why, and what to check before continuing.

  1. 1Gather and inspect your contentReadable sources with no missing pages.Details

    The assistant explains better when sources are clear and readable.

    What should I do?

    • Prepare the lecture, PDF, or slide images and organize them by topic.
    • Check a sample of images or the transcript and identify unclear words.

  2. 2Upload sources to a suitable toolClear confirmation of what arrived and what couldn't be read.Details

    The right tool can read your file types and lets you return to them.

    What should I do?

    • Upload files, explain each one's role, and ask which parts were readable.
    • Start with one section and test it before uploading an entire course.

  3. 3Tell it your level and goalA learning goal suited to you.Details

    The same topic needs different explanations for a beginner and someone reviewing.

    What should I do?

    • Say what you understand, where you're stuck, and how much time you have.
    • Choose a goal: understand the idea, apply it, or prepare for an exam.

  4. 4Choose an explanation you can followYou can explain the idea in your own words using a new example.Details

    The style should help you understand, not just change how the words look.

    What should I do?

    • Ask for the reason, then an example, then practice. Have each term explained when it first appears.
    • Stop at anything unclear and ask for a different example or a diagram that shows the relationship.
  5. 5Test your understanding of the same materialKnow what you got wrong, why it happened, and how to fix it.Details

    Solving a new question tells you more than feeling that the summary is easy.

    What should I do?

    • Ask for questions of increasing difficulty from the lesson's sources, without an answer key at first.
    • After answering, ask why each correction was made and where the information appears in the source.
  6. 6Review at intervals that suit youRegular review you can keep up with.Details

    You can review manually or use supported scheduling. Both need a clear method.

    What should I do?

    • Specify the review topic, number of questions, and available time.
    • If you schedule it, make sure the sources will be available when it runs and check the schedule confirmation.
  7. 7Save the learning method that worked for youTested instructions tailored to you instead of a generic prompt.Details

    Save the context that worked instead of repeating the same instructions from scratch.

    What should I do?

    • Write instructions about your level, preferred explanation style, and review method, with examples of a good result.
    • Use a project or Skill, depending on what's available, and test it on another lesson before using it more widely.
Start with a suitable prompt and adapt it

Why is the prompt written this way?

The source and your level affect how the explanation should work. A comprehension question shows that you understood, instead of just reading a summary.

Review before use

Did the result serve your original goal?

Check your understanding with a new question or practical task, and check the key information against the source. An easy explanation does not guarantee a complete one.

  • Did the result meet the requirements without significant gaps?
  • Were the sources and details that must stay accurate checked?
  • Did you open the file or link and test it as it will be used?

If there's a problem, name the unsuitable part, show an example, and request a specific edit.
