Will StudyFetch actually help me do better on my exams?

Yes. StudyFetch builds a personalized study plan from your materials, breaking them into an ordered sequence of topics so you learn things the right way. Instead of guessing what to review, you get flashcards, quizzes, practice tests, and more built from exactly what you need to know.

How does StudyFetch know what I need to study?

StudyFetch reads your materials and identifies the key topics, then organizes them into a study plan that tells you what to learn, in what order, and tracks what you've already covered. You always know exactly where you are and what to focus on next.

How do I know if I'm actually learning?

StudyFetch shows you which topics you've already covered and uses your study plan to surface what you still need to know. It organizes your materials into the most effective learning order, so you always know where you stand and what to focus on next.

What if my exam is tomorrow?

Your study plan has a cram mode that picks out the most important things you need to know for your exam. Even if you're starting the night before, you get the key concepts front and center so you can make the most of the time you have.

Top students are already using StudyFetch to prepare for the MCAT, NCLEX, LSAT, GMAT, board exams, AP exams, and everything in between. Whatever you're studying for, StudyFetch helps you study smarter and show up ready.

How is StudyFetch different from ChatGPT or NotebookLM?

ChatGPT and NotebookLM are general-purpose tools. StudyFetch is built entirely for studying. Your materials stay organized in one place, so you never have to re-upload or start from scratch. StudyFetch turns your content into flashcards, quizzes, practice tests, audio recaps, explainer videos, and study games, and it learns with you over time to help you study more effectively.

How much does StudyFetch cost?

Getting started with StudyFetch is free. Upload your materials, try the study tools, and see what clicks. Students who go premium make StudyFetch their full study system.

Does this work with my class?

Upload your own PDFs, slides, documents, lecture recordings, images of notes, or YouTube video links. StudyFetch builds everything from your specific materials, not generic content. If you can read it or listen to it, StudyFetch can learn from it.

Can StudyFetch help me study anything?

Yes. You don't even need to upload materials. Just type in a topic you want to learn about and StudyFetch will find information and build study tools around it. Whether it's for a class or just something you're curious about, StudyFetch can help you learn it.

Can I use StudyFetch during my lectures?

Yes. Record your class lectures directly in StudyFetch, and it turns them into study materials for you. No more scrambling to take notes or worrying about missing something important. Just hit record, focus on the lecture, and let StudyFetch handle the rest.

What if I don't learn well from just reading notes?

StudyFetch gives you multiple ways to study the same material. Listen to audio recaps on the go, watch explainer videos, play study games for active recall, or take practice tests to simulate the real thing. You pick what works for your learning style.

What if I'm stuck on something and don't understand it?

Ask Sparky. Your learning companion can explain any concept from your materials in a way that makes sense to you. Ask follow-up questions, request a different explanation, or have Sparky walk you through it step by step until it clicks.

Can I trust the AI-generated study tools?

Every flashcard, quiz question, and study tool StudyFetch creates comes with citations back to your original materials. You can see exactly where each piece of information came from, so you always know it's grounded in what your professor actually gave you.

Does StudyFetch work on my phone?

Yes. Web, iOS, and Android. Your study materials sync across all your devices so you can study anywhere.

Is my uploaded content private?

Yes. Your uploaded materials are private by default. You control who can see them.
