Before you start
- Plan needed: you can open the dashboard and make one upload as a free preview. Most other actions open the free trial screen until you start the trial.
The parts of the dashboard
The Galileo prompt box
The big box at the top says “Explain this chapter, make flashcards, or help me research a topic”. Type anything and press Enter. Duetoday opens a new Galileo session with your request.
Below the box you can choose a mode before you send:
| Mode | What it does |
|---|---|
| Research | Galileo searches the web and answers with sources. See research mode. |
| Flashcards | Turns the topic or notes you describe into flashcards. |
| Quiz | Turns the topic you describe into a practice quiz. |
| Draft | Writes an essay, report, literature review or outline for you to edit. See templates and documents. |
| Voice Tutor | Starts a spoken tutoring session. See voice tutor. |
Sample prompts shows ready-made ideas if you are not sure what to ask.
Upload Your Own Material
Four buttons add your own study material. Each one opens a new Galileo session:
- Record: record a lecture live. See record a lecture.
- Upload: a file, audio or video. See supported files and limits.
- Paste: copied text. See import a website or pasted text.
- Link: a YouTube video or website. See YouTube to notes.
Language
The Language button in the top-right corner changes the app language and the language Galileo writes in. See change your language.
The sidebar
The sidebar on the left holds:
- New to go back to the dashboard and start something new.
- Home for the dashboard.
- History for every Galileo session, file and generated item.
- Galileo to open a blank Galileo session.
- Folders to organise your notes. See notes and folders.
- Your profile menu for settings, your plan, language and signing out.
- Help to chat with the Duetoday team.
Tips
- Press Enter to send, Shift+Enter for a new line in the prompt box.
- Use the microphone button in the prompt box to dictate your question instead of typing (Chrome and Edge support this best).
- Collapse the sidebar for more space while you study.
If something goes wrong
- “Please wait. App is still loading.” Give the page a few seconds after signing in, then try again.
- “Dictation unavailable”. Your browser does not support speech dictation. Type instead, or use Chrome.
- A trial screen opens when I click something. That feature needs the free trial. See what you can do before your trial.
