WHY does every study app either overhype itself or put me to sleep 😭

anyone else using their ai learning assistant app as a notes cleaner more than a tutor? 😂
i throw in walls of text from lectures and say “make this look like something i can revise without crying”
and it turns them into mini summaries and questions i can quiz myself with
for chaotic people with 0 organization skills, an ai powered learning assistant is kinda life-saving ngl

@catwithwifi yesss
i literally take pics of my messy notebook, type key points in, and ask the ai learning assistant to group them by topic
suddenly i have sections like “definitions”, “examples”, “formulas” instead of “random soup of information”
teachers always say “organize your notes better” like that’s not the thing i’m worst at 😭

one thing tho: not every chatbot is a real ai learning assistant for students
some are just generic bots with a cute UI
the ones that actually help are the ones that ask “what are you studying? what level? what deadline?” and adjust explanations
if every answer sounds like a wikipedia article, it’s not a learning assistant, it’s just google with extra steps 💀

i use mine in “study coach” mode more than anything
i’ll be like “ok ai, i have bio test friday, math quiz thursday, and an essay next week, make a plan”
and the ai learning assistant app splits my week into tiny tasks so i don’t try to do everything the night before
not perfect, but it at least stops me from doing full send procrastination every single time

for essay structure stuff i sometimes peek at https://papersowl.com
just to see how they build intros, thesis and body paragraphs 😭
i don’t copy text, i just steal the skeleton
then i go back to my ai learning assistant and ask “ok, help me make something like this but with MY argument”
kinda feels like looking at a “model answer” from another school ngl
