Study mode

What study mode is

Study mode is the home base for students. You write notes, build flashcard decks, generate quizzes from your notes, and ask Tori for help — all in a single layout with no tab-switching. Anything you create here is private to you unless you explicitly share it.

Notes

Open a course or topic to write notes. Notes support headings, lists, links, code blocks, and inline math. Tori can read your active note and answer questions about it (without copying answers verbatim — see Tori the tutor).

Decks & quizzes

Decks are sets of flashcards — write your own, or ask Tori to generate cards from a note or pasted reading. Quizzes are graded sets of questions you can take to check your understanding. Both decks and quizzes track your accuracy over time so you can see what to review.

Co-study rooms

Invite a friend (or a group from a class) into a co-study room. Notes can be shared, chat is built in, and Tori can answer questions in the room with everyone watching. Useful for the night before a midterm.

Tori in study mode

The study persona is a tutor, not an answer machine. It explains, asks Socratic follow-ups, and walks you through problems. If you ask it to “just give me the answer” on graded work, it will nudge you back to thinking through it. For non-graded help, you can switch on direct mode for short, fact-style replies.

Tips

• Paste your textbook chapter into a note before asking Tori for a study guide — context dramatically improves output quality.
• Use decks for memorization, quizzes for understanding. Decks are a recall workout; quizzes test whether you can apply.
• Don't ask Tori the question on the assignment. Most platforms log this; we don't share your chats with educators, but that's separate from academic integrity.
