How to study from your own sources with AI
To study from your own sources, upload your notes, slides, and readings to Journal Genie and ask questions or generate a study guide grounded in that material. Answers cite what your sources actually say, so you revise the right things — and your material is never used to train AI. It’s free to start.
Journal Genie lets you study from your own notes and readings with cited answers grounded in your material — never trained on, and free to start.
Asking a general chatbot to help you study means studying the internet’s version of a topic, not the one your course actually taught. For an exam, that gap matters.
Journal Genie keeps studying grounded in your own sources — your notes, your slides, your readings — and cites them, so you spend your time on what will actually be tested.
Gather your sources
Upload the lecture notes, slides, and readings for a topic as sources. This is the material the AI will reason over — not a plausible substitute from the web — so the study session is about your course specifically.
Ask, quiz, and review
Ask questions in plain language and get answers cited to your sources. Use Studio to turn a set of sources into a study guide or quiz grounded in that material, so you practice recall against what was actually taught.
Study what was taught
When your material doesn’t cover a question, Journal Genie says so — a useful signal that there’s a gap in your notes rather than a confidently wrong answer. Everything traces back to a source you can click and re-read.
Study honestly
- This is a study aid grounded in your own material — not a homework-answer machine and not a substitute for doing the reading.
- Check your school’s AI policy before using any AI tool for graded work; grounding your study in your own course material is the responsible way to use it.
Questions, answered first.
How do I make AI study only from my course material?
Upload your notes, slides, and readings as sources, then ask questions or generate a study guide. Journal Genie grounds answers in that material and cites it, so it studies your course rather than the open web.
Can it make a study guide or quiz from my notes?
Yes. Studio can turn a set of your sources into a study guide or quiz grounded in your material, with everything traceable back to the source it came from.
Is it free, and is my material private?
There is a free tier with 40 AI credits and 10 source imports a month. Your material is isolated per user, never used to train AI, and never sold, and you can export or delete it yourself.
