- The author acts like a persistent goose that questions users to test their knowledge, focusing on where they speculate.
- It emphasizes active recall over passive activities like reading and highlighting, as these merely decorate without proving understanding.
- Forgetting is rapid without active retrieval; the tool uses questioning to reset the memory curve for better retention.
- Different difficulty levels and a scoring system provide feedback and challenge users to improve their explanations and fill gaps.
- Features include uploading syllabus materials for mind map-based study sessions, exporting PDF summaries, and offering both free and premium usage tiers.
