Tips to get higher-quality results

  • Clean Your PDF: Remove unnecessary pages like the table of contents or index before uploading to keep the AI focused.

  • Split by Topic: For complex subjects, upload one chapter at a time to create a more granular practice schedule.

  • Provide Context: Use the chat feature to tell the AI, Focus heavily on the formulas in this document for more technical subjects.

  • Verify Key Terms: Quickly scan the generated flashcards to ensure the AI captured the specific jargon used by your professor.

Troubleshooting

  • Scanned PDF is blurry → Try using a higher-resolution scan or an original digital PDF to ensure the AI can read every word.

  • Output feels too generic → Use the Chapters tool to highlight specific sub-sections, forcing the AI to dig deeper into the details.

  • Too many questions generated → Filter your quiz settings to limit the number of questions per session for better focus.

  • Formatting is messy → Ensure your PDF doesn't have multi-column layouts that overlap, as this can sometimes confuse text flow.
