AI University — description of features and functionality PURPOSE AI University is a study tool for university students. It converts recordings of lectures into structured written notes that the student can read, correct and keep. It runs on iPhone, iPad and Mac. CORE WORKFLOW The user imports a lecture in one of two forms: a video recording, or an audio recording together with the lecturer's PDF slides. The app then: 1. Transcribes the speech to text. This step always runs on the device, using either Apple's speech recognition or a Whisper model executed locally. 2. Extracts the visual material — frames from the video, or pages from the PDF — and aligns it with the point in the transcript where it appears. 3. Sends the transcript and those images to a language model, which organises them into notes with headings, sections and timestamps. 4. Returns the notes as Markdown, which the user can read in the app, edit, export, or render as a formatted PDF. ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **Subscriptions** | Subscription | Price | Period | | --- | --- | --- | | AI University Plus | $2.99 | per month | | AI University Pro | $7.99 | per month | ## Is AI University safe?

We’ve listened to your feedback and completely revolutionized the quality of your generated notes, added new export formats, and made the app significantly faster. SMARTER & BETTER-LOOKING NOTES • "Academic" Theme (LaTeX Style): You can now export your PDFs with a brand-new, elegant scientific paper theme, complete with serif fonts and justified text. • Intelligent Slide Selection: The AI now understands visual content! It automatically skips text-heavy bullet points and prioritizes graphs, diagrams, and complex proofs, enriching them with precise AI-generated captions. • Perfect Obsidian Compatibility: Math formulas in Markdown exports now use native standard formatting ($ and $$). No more rendering errors in your favorite note-taking software! • New Structure (Thematic Reorganization): Notes are now structured better. In detailed mode, you'll get chapters and subchapters instead of endless walls of text, making studying much smoother. EXPORTING & SYNCING • Full Archive Export (ZIP): You can now export a complete .zip package containing your Markdown file along with all the images extracted from the slides, ready to be imported anywhere. • No More Duplicates: We fixed the annoying bug that created "conflict" files on iCloud if you were editing a note while the app was syncing in the background. • Note properties are now automatically read and displayed in the language the lecture was taught in. UNDER-THE-HOOD SPEED & STABILITY • Instant Launch: iCloud sync will no longer freeze the app on startup. You'll see your notes gracefully appear as they download. • Optimized Memory: PDF exporting now uses 75% less memory. Extremely long and heavy lectures will no longer crash the app, even on older devices. • Bulletproof Audio: Audio files are now identified by their actual content rather than their file extension (perfect for improperly renamed voice memos that used to fail processing). • Cleaner Video Interface: Detail level, note structure, and PDF appearance are now conveniently combined into a single streamlined screen before starting. ### 1.3.0 — 2026-09-28 This is a massive update!

FASTER, NO MORE FREEZES • The app no longer freezes on launch while syncing with iCloud. • The Start button responds immediately — it could previously keep you waiting up to a minute. • The PDF appearance editor is smooth on every touch. • Exporting a PDF uses a quarter of the memory it used to, so long lectures finish even on older devices. AUDIO LECTURES THAT USED TO FAIL • Audio files are now recognised by their content instead of their file extension. A file recorded in one format but saved with a different extension — common with voice memos — no longer breaks processing. CLEARER NOTES • The PDF table of contents is complete: some chapters used to be missing from it. • No more chapters repeating the same title. • In Detailed mode notes now have two levels, chapters and sub-chapters, instead of pages of unbroken text. ICLOUD • On launch the app no longer says you have no notes while it is still downloading them — you can see them arriving. • It no longer asks you to create a subject you already have. A TIDIER INTERFACE • Videos screen: detail level, notes structure and PDF appearance now live in a single card. • Settings: fewer sections, the same features. • In advanced mode you see the settings for the engine you are using, not for all of them. ### 1.1.0 — 2026-09-02 NEW • More video formats: recordings that iOS could not open before — AVI among them — are now converted automatically before processing • Automatic table of contents in exported PDFs, with the page layout no longer cut off at the bottom • Annotate an exported PDF right in the app: highlight, underline, write on it • A new flowing structure for notes, which merges fragmented headings into readable sections — switchable in Settings • Repeated slides are recognised and dropped, so notes keep the frames that add something and skip the near-identical ones • Move a note to another subject, or regenerate it from the same lecture, straight from its row in Notes FASTER • Smoother scrolling in the lecture queue, in Notes and in Settings • The interface stays responsive while a lecture is being processed • Less battery drain and less heat: the screen is no longer redrawn when nothing moves • The difference is biggest on older iPhones FIXED • Stopping a lecture partway no longer overwrites the notes already written • Stopping a run is no longer reported as a network error, and it now really stops the work underneath • Long steps can no longer hang forever: conversion, transcription and uploads time out and retry • Plus subscribers no longer saw "0 of 0 left today" • PDFs exported without a connection no longer showed raw formatting marks • Larger touch targets, a corrected VoiceOver label, and Reduce Motion is now respected • API keys moved to the Keychain, and any copy left in the old settings file is erased Nothing has changed in how lectures are processed, or in where your material goes. ### 1.0.1 — 2026-08-22 This update is about how the app feels. • Smoother scrolling — in the lecture queue, in Notes and in Settings • The interface stays responsive while a lecture is being processed • Less battery drain and less heat: the app no longer redraws the screen when nothing is moving • The difference is biggest on older iPhones Nothing has changed in how lectures are processed, or in where your material goes. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
