Upload once. Study your way. ClassFactor turns your notes, PDFs and lectures into guided lessons, flashcards, quizzes and timed exams, then tells you what to study next. Start with 25,000 free AI credits. More than flashcards: ClassFactor is a complete AI study system built around your own material. Add your notes, PDFs, slide decks, lecture recordings or photos of handwritten pages, then create what you need. GUIDED LESSONS Turn a chapter, a slide deck or a lecture into a guided lesson that walks you through the material section by section. Learn it first, then go straight into flashcards or a quiz on the same content. CLEAN NOTES Get clear, structured notes from a PDF, a slide deck or a lecture recording, ready to study from or turn into anything else. AI FLASHCARDS ClassFactor reads your material and writes the cards for you, based on your content and your course, not someone else's deck. No more making flashcards by hand. QUIZZES AND TIMED EXAMS Turn any set of notes into a quiz or a timed practice test: multiple choice, true/false and written answers. Set the length and difficulty, retake it, and see which topics still need work before exam day. AI TUTOR THAT KNOWS YOUR MATERIAL Stuck on a card? Ask why. Got a question wrong? Ask what you missed. The AI Tutor answers from the content you uploaded, so every explanation stays tied to what your class actually covers. AI STUDY COACH Tell the Coach your subjects, your habits and your real exam dates. It builds a study plan you can follow, checks in daily, reminds you when cards are due and tells you what to focus on today. SPACED REPETITION THAT RUNS ITSELF Cards come back right before you would forget them. Missed cards return in the same session until they stick. Just open the app and review what is due. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS Streaks, topic mastery and quiz history show what you know, what to focus on and how you are improving.
