Your questions, answered
How is StudiSpace different from Course Hero?
It starts from your material rather than someone else's, and the output is study formats — notes, flashcards, quizzes, podcast — not more documents to read.
Can I upload documents I already have?
Yes, that is the normal way to use it: PDFs, slides, Word documents, images or pasted text.
Is my material shared with anyone?
No. There is no community and nothing you upload is published.
What file types can I upload?
PDFs, Word documents, images and plain text, or paste the text directly.
Do I need to create an account to start?
No. You can upload your material and generate study content immediately without registering. You'll only need an account if you want to save your progress.
What types of files can I upload?
We accept PDFs, Word documents, images (PNG, JPG), text files, and you can also paste content directly or share links to videos and articles.
How does the AI Tutor work?
The AI Tutor analyzes your study material and can answer specific questions about that content. They're not generic answers, but based on what you've uploaded.
Are the generated materials editable?
Yes, completely. Everything the AI generates is just a starting point. You can edit, add or reorganize any content as you prefer.
How long does it take to generate the content?
Normally between 10-30 seconds depending on the size of the material and the number of formats you select.
