Study with AI: turn your notes into study guides, revision slides and quizzes
Students use Tinkerly to turn class notes into a study guide, a set of revision slides and a quiz, in one request. You paste or attach your notes, the AI writes with GPT models, and you get a document and a deck you can edit, keep and revise from, paying only for the answers you use.

What can a student make with Tinkerly?
Most students start with the things they revise from: a study guide from lecture notes, revision slides from that guide, a quiz to test themselves, and plain explanations of the parts they find hard. Each one comes back as something you can open again before the exam, not a chat reply you lose.
| Question | What you ask | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Study guide | “Turn these biology notes into a study guide” | A document with headings, key terms and tables, saved in your library |
| Revision slides | “Make 8 revision slides from the guide” | An outline to check, then designed slides you can present |
| Quiz | “Quiz me on it, five questions” | Questions in the chat; answer them and ask it to mark you |
| Explanation | “Explain osmosis like I’m 12” | A short answer, then follow-up questions in the same chat |
You can ask for several of these in one message. The chat works out what you asked for, makes each part with its own tool and shows each on its own card, with its price. A document appears as a preview first: keep it, ask for a change in plain words, or discard it.
How does it turn biology notes into a study guide and slides?
Here is the home page’s student example, step by step. One message asks for a study guide, eight revision slides and a quiz. The guide is written first, the slides are built from the guide, and the quiz is written in the chat, so all three cover the same material.
Step 1: Ask once
“Turn my biology notes into a study guide and 8 revision slides, then quiz me.” Attach the notes, or paste them into the message.
Step 2: Check the study guide
“Study guide: The cell” comes back as a document preview. Keep it to save it, or say “add a table comparing plant and animal cells” first.
Step 3: Check the slide outline
The deck starts as an outline of slide titles and points, built from the guide. Edit it, then press Create presentation. Decks can have from 3 to 30 slides.
Step 4: Take the quiz
“1. What does a mitochondrion do? 2. Name two parts only plant cells have. 3. What carries a cell’s instructions?” Reply with your answers and ask how you did.
The slides open in the slide editor, where you can change any slide by hand or by asking, add speaker notes and present the deck. You can download the deck as PowerPoint or PDF, and the guide as Word or PDF.
How much does Tinkerly cost a student?
There’s no monthly fee to start. Each answer costs the chosen model’s price in credits, shown before you send it, so a cheap model keeps a whole revision session cheap. Writing and editing by hand costs nothing, and credits you buy never expire.
Free accounts get 15 credits every day on the models marked Free. On GPT-4o mini, at 1 credit a message, that’s about 15 chat answers a day. New accounts also get 25 trial credits, once, to try any model. The lowest-priced model today is GPT-4o mini, at 1 credit a chat message. An AI action in a document with it costs 1 credit.
A deck takes several AI requests (the outline, then the slides a few at a time), so it costs more than one message; the price shows before anything big starts. A failed or empty answer costs nothing. AI Docs and AI Slides work on a free account. Every model’s price is on the pricing page.
Is it okay to use AI for homework?
That depends on your school and your teacher, so check their rules first. Using AI to revise, to quiz yourself and to explain what you didn’t follow in class is different from handing in its writing as your own. The AI can also be wrong, so check facts against your notes.
A study guide made from your own notes stays close to what your course covers. When something in it surprises you, ask the AI where it came from, and compare it with your textbook. With web search on, answers can look things up first and link each fact to its source, so you can check it.
You can also ask for answers in your own language: set it in Settings → Personalisation, together with your level (“I’m in year 10”), and every chat answers that way.
Is my work private?
Your chats, study guides and slides are kept in your own account, not shown on the web. Tinkerly doesn’t sell your data or use it for advertising. You can delete any of it at any time, and download everything you’ve made.
The AI company whose model you pick receives what you send it, only to answer you. Nothing you make is shown to anyone else until you invite someone to a chat or project, or make a public link to a chat. In Settings → Your data you can download everything you’ve made, or delete your account and its files. The privacy policy lists exactly what is kept and who receives it.
