ONE WORKSPACE, THREE WAYS TO USE IT

Who's studying?

📚
STUDENTS

I'm cramming dense material

Lectures, exam prep, language immersion.

Generate flashcards from a lecture in 30 seconds. Practice with spaced repetition until the cards stop coming back. Every card cited so you can verify what you're memorizing.

🔍
RESEARCHERS

I'm mining long talks

Keynotes, podcasts, recorded panels.

Build a personal library of keynotes and panels. Search by claim, cite the timestamp directly, export references for your paper.

EDUCATORS

I'm building course material

Lecture content, study guides, quiz sets.

Turn any lecture into a Monday-ready study guide, quiz, or concept map. Review everything before students see it. Cited so you can defend it.

WHY YOUTUBE ISN'T ENOUGH ON ITS OWN

You've felt this before.

01

You can't search it

“There was a thing about mitochondria around the 40-minute mark.” Good luck finding it without watching again.

02

You can't quiz yourself

Watching is passive. Recall is active. There's no built-in way to test what you actually learned.

03

AI summaries make things up

Generic AI tools hallucinate confidently. You need answers tied to what the speaker actually said: not vibes.

WHAT YOU GET

Six ways to study one video

All of them cite the source. Nothing made up. Hover or tap a clip to watch each one work.

01

Transcript-backed notes

Structured notes from any transcript section. Edit them as you learn, jump to the source clip whenever you need it.

  • ✓Headings auto-generated from topic shifts
  • ✓Every paragraph links back to the timestamp
  • ✓Export to Markdown, PDF, or Notion
02

Flashcards & quizzes

Review cards and questions pulled from the lesson. Track what you've actually mastered: not just what you've seen.

  • ✓Spaced repetition baked in
  • ✓Multiple-choice + free-text quizzes
  • ✓Mastery tracking across attempts
03

Concept maps

Long lessons turned into a navigable map. Every node links to its timestamp, so the structure of a 90-minute lecture becomes one screen.

  • ✓Auto-clustered by topic
  • ✓Click any node to jump in the video
  • ✓Export as PNG or interactive HTML
04

Tutor

Ask a question, get an answer with the timestamp. Every claim links back to the moment in the video that supports it.

  • ✓Citations on every answer
  • ✓Follow-ups stay in context
  • ✓Refuses to make things up: period
★ NO HALLUCINATION
05

Canvas

Ask the tutor to draw it. Diagrams, flowcharts, and sketches appear on your canvas: generated, editable, and saved alongside your kit.

  • ✓Whiteboard for diagrams + annotation
  • ✓Ask “draw the krebs cycle”: get it
  • ✓Saved as part of the lesson
★ NEW
06

Playlist courses

Import a playlist, get a full course. Each video becomes its own lesson with its own kit, all tracked together.

  • ✓Progress tracked per lesson
  • ✓Cross-lesson search
  • ✓Resume where you left off
“I finally stopped re-scrubbing lectures. The tutor cites everything: I trust it like I trust my own notes.”
