Tips to get higher-quality results
-
Ensure PDF clarity: Use high-resolution PDFs rather than blurry photos of physical pages when possible.
-
Remove junk pages: Delete covers, tables of contents, or bibliographies before uploading to keep the AI focused.
-
Add Context: When using the AI tutor, tell it your current level (e.g., Explain this like a high schooler) to get the right difficulty.
-
Section your uploads: Smaller files (under 20 pages) often yield more detailed walkthroughs than massive files.
Troubleshooting
-
Problem: Scanned PDF not reading → Fix: Ensure the scan is straight and clear, or use a PDF editor to run OCR before uploading.
-
Problem: Output too generic → Fix: Use the ‘focus’ feature to highlight specific keywords you want the solution to emphasize.
-
Problem: Too long to process → Fix: Split the PDF into smaller chapters or individual modules.
-
Problem: Wrong difficulty → Fix: Regenerate the quiz or summary by selecting a different academic level in the settings.
