The AI workspace for your study guides

The AI workspace for your study guides

Study guides are only useful if they reflect what you're actually being tested on. A generic summary of a topic isn't the same as a study guide built from your professor's lectures, your assigned readings, and your own notes. Your professor emphasised specific aspects. Your readings took specific positions. The exam tests what was taught in your course, not what's in a textbook. A study guide from ChatGPT doesn't know any of that.

Fabric's AI tutor generates study guides from your actual course materials. Upload your lectures, readings, and notes, and the AI produces revision material grounded in what your professor taught, what your readings argued, and what you've studied. Every claim in the guide can be traced to a specific page, slide, or timestamp.

Generated from your course, not the internet

Ask the AI tutor to create a study guide for any module, topic, or exam. It draws from your uploaded lecture transcripts, slides, readings, and notes. The guide reflects your course's specific framing, terminology, and emphasis. If your professor spent three lectures on a topic the textbook covers in one page, the study guide reflects that weight.

Ask for a study guide covering the last three weeks of material. Ask for one focused on the key debates in a module. Ask for one that highlights the connections between different readings. The AI produces it from what you've actually studied, not from generic knowledge.

Quiz yourself from the guide

The study guide isn't just a summary. Ask the AI to generate quiz questions from it. Practice retrieval by testing yourself on the material your guide covers. The questions are drawn from your course content, so they test what you'll actually be examined on. The AI remembers what you've struggled with across sessions and can focus revision on your weak areas.

Build guides incrementally across the semester

The most effective study guide isn't written the night before the exam. It's built throughout the semester as material accumulates. After each lecture, ask the AI to add the key points to your running study guide. After each reading, ask it to integrate the main arguments. By exam time, you have a comprehensive guide that reflects the full semester's material, built incrementally rather than crammed.

Every lecture you record with AI voice notes, every reading you annotate with annotations, every note you write deepens the material the study guide can draw from. The guide gets richer as your library grows.

Annotate and personalise

Annotations let you mark up the study guide itself: flag areas you need to review more, add your own mnemonics, note connections the AI didn't make. The annotations are searchable, so "everything I flagged for extra review" produces your priority revision list.

Connected to the source material

Every claim in the study guide is grounded in your actual materials. When something in the guide isn't clear, search for the original source: the lecture where the concept was explained, the reading where the argument was made, the notes you took. The study guide and the source material are searchable in the same workspace.

Share with your study group

Share study guides with your study group via real-time collaboration in shared spaces. Everyone contributes materials. The AI searches across everything the group has collected. Build study guides together. See group projects.
