Study tool
Study Guide Builder
Paste a passage and get named guide sections, each explaining one idea from it with a question to check yourself on. The model runs on this server, so your material is not uploaded to anyone and there is no account.
Your material is sent to a model running on this server over a loopback connection. It is not stored, not logged, and not passed to a third-party service.

What it will and will not do
The model here is a small one running locally. Given a passage with specific facts in it, it selects and restates well. Given a general introduction full of framing and no facts, it has nothing to select and will fill the gap from what it already knows about the subject. That output is fluent, on topic, and not from your source.
So every section is checked against the material before it is shown. A section that reads as background knowledge about the subject rather than a restatement of your passage is dropped. If too much is dropped to be useful, the tool says the guide could not be built instead of showing you a confident page of invented content.
That is why you may ask for five sections and get three. The shortfall is reported rather than hidden, because a guide that looks complete is much easier to trust than it should be.
Before you revise from it
Read each section with the source in front of you and ask whether everything in it is somewhere in the passage. Not whether it is true, which it probably is, but whether your material said it. A sentence that is true but not in your source is the one that will not be in your exam.
Three things to watch for: an added cause the material never gave, an added number close to one in the passage but not the same, and two separate points merged into a claim neither supports.
What to do with the result
Use the check questions as a starting point, then turn the headings into cues in the Cornell Notes Generator and build the exact-answer questions into the Quiz Generator. The guide tells you what to review; your notes and your textbook are what you revise from.
What a generated study guide is actually good for
This arranges text you supply into a structure: topics, headings, and questions drawn from what you pasted. It does not know the subject, so it cannot tell you what is missing or whether what you pasted was right in the first place.
That makes it useful for turning a dense set of lecture notes into something you can work through, and useless as a substitute for the reading itself. If your notes are thin, the guide will be thin and will look organised while containing very little.
Check the questions against the source before you study from them. A question generated from a sentence tends to be answerable from that sentence, which is why the guide is a good diagnostic: a question you cannot answer points at a sentence you did not really understand.
Use it once per topic rather than continuously. Rebuilding the guide repeatedly is a way of feeling productive without reading anything, and the notes themselves stop being improved the moment attention moves to rearranging them.

Common questions
Which model does this use, and where does it run?
A small instruction-tuned model running on this site's own server, reached over a loopback connection. Your material is not sent to OpenAI, Anthropic, Google or any other third party, and it is not stored or used for training.
Why did I ask for five sections and get three?
Because two sections were dropped. Every section is checked against your material before it is shown, and a section that reads as background knowledge about the subject rather than a restatement of your passage is discarded. The shortfall is reported at the top of the result rather than hidden, because a guide that looks complete is easier to trust than it should be.
It said it could not build a guide. Why?
Usually because the material is too short or contains too few specific facts. The model can select and restate facts that are present; it cannot select facts that are not. Given a single sentence or a paragraph of pure framing, it has nothing to select and will not invent a guide to fill the space.
How do I check the output before revising from it?
Read each section with the source in front of you and ask whether everything in it appears in your passage. Not whether it is true, which it probably is, but whether your material said it. Watch specifically for an added cause, a number close to one in the passage but not the same, and two separate points merged into a claim neither supports.
How long does it take?
Around half a minute for a typical passage. The model runs on a single slot on this server, so a request queued behind another takes longer. The page counts the elapsed seconds while it works so a long wait is visible rather than looking like a stalled page.
Should I revise from the guide instead of my notes?
No. The guide tells you what to review; your notes and your textbook are what you revise from. Use the checking questions as a starting point, then turn the headings into cue questions and build exact-answer questions into the quiz tool.
Does it need an account?
No. There is no account, no sign-up and no email address required. The rate limit is per client rather than per user, so it is reached by heavy use rather than by having a particular account.
What this tool does
Turns a passage into named guide sections, each explaining one idea with a checking question.
What you give it
A passage of text, a section count, and a depth preference.
What you get back
Guide sections, each grounded in the supplied passage.
It runs entirely inside your browser. Nothing you type or open is uploaded, and it works with the network disconnected.
The model runs on this server rather than a third-party service. Material is not stored. Sections that drift from the source are dropped, so the section count can come back short.
