About

StudyAgent

Features
Read full description

StudyAgent gives every one of your classes its own AI agent, coordinated by a hub that sees your whole semester. Drop in a syllabus and your agent reads it: every deadline, the grading breakdown, the late policy, even your professor's AI rules. Upload lecture slides or photos of your notes and it turns them into study summaries, practice quizzes, and plain-English explanations built from what was actually taught, not generic internet answers. Then it works for you. Ask what is due this week. Get a weekly check-in on what is coming and what to start first. Catch up after a missed class. Get quizzed before the exam. And it keeps you safe: StudyAgent reads each course's academic integrity policy and follows it. In courses that restrict AI, it tutors and quizzes but never writes your submissions. - One agent per class, each with its own memory - Syllabus reading: deadlines, grading, policies, extracted automatically - Study guides and quizzes from your real lectures - Deadline board across every class - Weekly check-ins that plan your workload - Integrity engine that respects each professor's AI policy - You upload what you choose. No school logins, no LMS access, no data selling. StudyAgent Pro is an optional auto-renewing subscription: $2.99 per month after a 7-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your Apple ID account settings. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://studyagent-app.netlify.app/privacy.html
