Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers about what StudyFlow does and doesn't do.
What is StudyFlow?
StudyFlow is a web-based AI study platform that helps students organize educational materials — notes, documents, and lecture recordings — and turn them into study tools like study guides, flashcards, quizzes, and interactive AI tutoring.
Is StudyFlow a website or an app?
StudyFlow is a website. It is an AI-powered study platform that runs in your web browser.
Do I need to download StudyFlow?
No. There is nothing to download — you sign in at the StudyFlow website and your study workspace is there.
Can I use StudyFlow on my laptop?
Yes. StudyFlow is designed primarily for laptops and desktop computers, and the advanced features like the AI Tutor and whiteboard are optimized for larger screens.
Can I use StudyFlow on my desktop computer?
Yes. Desktop and laptop computers are the primary way to use StudyFlow. Large tablets also work well; small screens remain usable for basic tasks.
Can StudyFlow help me study from my notes?
Yes. Your notes are organized by class and topic, and StudyFlow can generate summaries, study guides, flashcards, and quizzes from them.
Can StudyFlow create quizzes?
Yes. StudyFlow generates practice quizzes from your own materials. You can pick a topic and difficulty, answer the questions, and review an explanation for every answer.
Can StudyFlow create flashcards?
Yes. StudyFlow generates question-and-answer flashcards from your class materials and tracks which cards you get right or wrong over time.
Can StudyFlow summarize study materials?
Yes. StudyFlow can create summaries of your notes, uploaded documents, and lecture transcripts.
Does StudyFlow have an AI Tutor?
Yes. The StudyFlow Tutor teaches interactively on a whiteboard — asking questions, giving hints, showing step-by-step solutions, and checking your work.
Does the AI Tutor just give answers?
No. The tutor is designed for guided learning: it asks questions, gives hints, and helps you work through problems yourself instead of just handing over answers.
Can the AI Tutor explain why a step was taken?
Yes. Whiteboard steps include a 'why?' option, so you can ask for the reasoning behind any step of a solution.
Can StudyFlow show multiple ways to solve a problem?
Yes, when appropriate. The tutor can compare multiple valid solution methods so you can follow the approach your course uses.
Can StudyFlow use my course materials?
Yes — that is the core of how it works. Everything you add (notes, documents, recordings) becomes the context StudyFlow uses to generate study tools and tutoring.
Does StudyFlow replace a teacher?
No. StudyFlow is a study aid, not a replacement for your teacher or professor. AI-generated content can contain mistakes, and important information should be verified against your course materials and with your instructors.
Can search engines read my private notes?
No. Your private workspace — notes, documents, recordings, quizzes, and tutor sessions — requires you to sign in and is not published on the public website or in the sitemap. Only public product pages are visible to search engines.
How is private student information protected?
Your data is isolated to your account with strict per-user access controls, so no other user can read or change your records. See our Privacy Policy for details on how content is processed and how to delete it.
