AI Study Guide Generator

Almost any study material: PDF files like textbook chapters, lecture handouts, and slide exports; lecture notes pasted as text or uploaded as Word or PowerPoint; YouTube video URLs (transcribed automatically); AI Meeting Notes from recorded lectures; website URLs; and Google Drive files. You can also just type a topic if you don't have materials yet, and combine up to 3 sources into one guide.

ChatGPT writes from its training data, so you get a plausible but generic version of the topic — it covers what the model thinks your course is. Scholarly grounds every section in your actual PDFs, notes, and materials, and references the original page or location, so the guide covers exactly what your class covers. It also stays in one workspace where it can become flashcards or a practice test.

You get a professional, printable multi-page PDF — typically 4–10 pages depending on how rich your source is. It includes a big-picture overview on the first page, sections with clear headings in course order, a key-term glossary, topic summaries with worked concept connections, and self-test review questions per section.

Yes. You can start for free with no credit card — free plans include daily AI creation limits (typically a few guides per day) and smaller upload size caps. Ultimate raises the daily limits, supports longer documents, and unlocks your choice of generation models.

Yes. The output is fully editable — you can add, remove, rearrange, or expand any section to make it your own. Note the guide doesn't auto-update if you change the source later; if your material changes, just regenerate it.

Yes, in one click. Because the guide lives in your Scholarly workspace alongside the source, you can convert the same material into flashcards or a practice test without re-uploading or copy-pasting anything.

You can do either, but they're different. Uploading a PDF, notes, or slides produces a course-specific guide grounded in your material. Typing a topic alone produces a more general outline of that topic — useful as a starting point, but not tied to your exact syllabus.

Three: Comprehensive for full coverage of the source, Exam Prep for high-yield material with practice questions baked in, and Quick Review for a fast-scan format. You can also add custom instructions — for example, “add practice questions after each section” or “emphasize equations” — to fine-tune the result.

Over 70 languages. Set your preference and the study guide is generated in that language, so you can study in the language you think in.

Source length is capped by plan — free plans accept smaller files, and Ultimate raises the ceiling for larger PDFs, longer text pastes, and longer videos. Study guides output to PDF (not an interactive web view). Audio and video transcription depends on recording clarity and subtitles, so low-quality recordings can produce patchy transcripts. Choice of generation models is available on the paid plan.
