For students

Check your understanding, not just your memory.

Upload the actual reading. Ask it a question, get a summary, or quiz yourself, and every answer points back to the page it came from so you can verify it before you repeat it in class.

The second law of thermodynamics states that the total entropy of an isolated system can never decrease over time, and is constant if and only if all processes are reversible.

Answer

Entropy stays constant only when every process involved is reversible; otherwise it increases.1

Built for studying, not shortcuts

Summarize a reading

Get the version you'd wish you had before the lecture, not instead of doing the reading.

Ask what confused you

Point at the actual reading and ask about the part that didn't make sense, grounded only in that document.

Quiz yourself before the exam

Generate a multiple-choice check with explanations, from the material you were actually assigned.

Questions

Will it just write my paper for me?
No. It answers questions and summarizes what's in front of it, with a citation to the page it came from, so you can go check the source yourself before you cite it. It's built to help you verify, not to skip the reading.
Does it work with a photo of a textbook page?
Yes, uploaded images go through the same text-extraction step as scanned documents, so a photo of a page works the same way a PDF does.
