Using the AI study tools
How to get useful output from DocTalk, the doubt solver, notes, flashcards and quizzes — and what to do when a response is wrong.
Last updated 2026-06-22
Each AI tool is tuned for a specific job. Picking the right one matters more than phrasing the perfect prompt.
- DocTalk — ask questions against an uploaded PDF or document.
- Doubt Solver — step-by-step answers to a specific question.
- Crystal — simplified explanations of a complex topic.
- Professor X — mathematics, worked step by step.
- Note Ninja and SnapNotes — structured notes and condensed summaries.
- Card Ninja and Brain Battle — flashcards and quizzes generated from your material.
Getting better answers
- Name your level: 'explain for a first-year undergraduate' changes the output substantially.
- Say what you already understand, so the explanation starts at the real gap.
- Ask for a specific format — steps, a table, an analogy, bullet points.
- Attempt the problem first, then paste your attempt and ask where it went wrong.
When an answer looks wrong
AI can produce confident errors, particularly with arithmetic, citations, statistics and very recent events. Verify anything you will be graded on against your course material. If the platform's answer conflicts with your textbook, trust the textbook.
Uploads and limits
Supported document types are listed on the upload screen. Very large files may need to be split by chapter. Daily usage limits depend on your plan; the limit and reset time are shown in your account area.
