Study Tools

During sessions with Phil, generate practice problems, visual explanations, flashcards, and quizzes on the fly.

Practice Problems

Phil generates custom practice problems tailored to your current topic and skill level.

Requesting Problems

  • "Give me a practice problem"
  • "Quiz me on this"
  • "I need practice with quadratic equations"

Question Types

  • Multiple choice (click an option)
  • Fill-in-the-blank
  • Short answer (type your response)
  • Math problems (with LaTeX rendering)
  • True/False
  • Discussion questions (open-ended)

How It Works

  1. Phil generates the problem and reads it aloud
  2. The problem appears in the session tools area
  3. Work through it at your own pace
  4. Share your answer by speaking or typing
  5. Phil provides instant feedback — correct (green animation) or incorrect (red)
  6. Click "Need a hint?" if you're stuck
  7. Click "Show Answer" after a wrong attempt to see the solution
  8. Click "Next Question" to continue practicing
  9. Dismiss with the X button when you're done

Visual Explanations

Phil creates step-by-step visual breakdowns of complex concepts.

Requesting Explanations

  • "Can you break that down step by step?"
  • "Show me visually how this works"
  • "Walk me through the process"

How It Works

  • Phil creates a titled multi-step breakdown
  • Each step includes an explanation, emphasis text, a concrete example, and bullet points
  • Progress bar shows which step you're on
  • Navigate with Prev/Next buttons, step dots, arrow keys, or Space to advance
  • Phil explains each step as you go through them
  • Press Escape to dismiss

Flashcards

Create and study flashcards without leaving your session.

Requesting Flashcards

  • "Can you make flashcards for this?"
  • "Create flashcards for what we just covered"
  • "Make me 10 flashcards about cellular respiration"

In the Flashcards Tab

  • Create flashcard sets and add cards manually (front and back)
  • Generate from materials — select one or more materials (up to 100,000 characters combined), click Generate (costs 1 reply)
  • Study in flip mode, write mode, or with first-letter hints
  • Toggle between Term → Definition and Definition → Term
  • Shuffle card order

Accessing Flashcards

Flashcards are saved to your selection automatically. You can also access them from the selection's Flashcards tab after the session.

Quizzes

Create and practice quizzes during your session.

In the Quizzes Tab

  • Create quiz sets with multiple choice, short answer, or true/false questions
  • Generate from materials — same multi-material selection as flashcards (1 reply per generation)
  • Practice immediately: answer questions, get instant feedback with explanations
  • Shuffle question order

Resource-Based Study Tools

When you've uploaded materials (PDFs, images, notes), Phil can create tools based on your actual course content:

  • "Make flashcards for Chapter 3 of my textbook"
  • "Create practice problems based on my lecture slides"
  • "Quiz me on the notes I uploaded"

Phil references the specific content from your materials to generate relevant, accurate study tools.

Materials Context Budget

During sessions, Phil has a context budget of approximately 6,000 characters for materials. This means you can have multiple smaller materials active, or one larger one.

  • A visual progress bar in the Materials tab and modal shows how much budget is used
  • Toggle materials on or off to control what Phil sees
  • Phil only references enabled materials during the session
  • For flashcard and quiz generation, the limit is much higher: 100,000 characters across multiple materials
