How it works

  1. 01

    Type what you want to learn

    Read your first lesson before you even sign up. Then Autodemia proposes a plan you can adjust and maps out every idea in it.

  2. 02

    Add your sources

    Upload chapters, notes or links. Each is matched to the concepts it covers, and answers quote it, checked against the source.

  3. 03

    Study in the time you have

    Five minutes in line or a two-hour session. Pick the time and get a session sized to it, due cards first.

  4. 04

    Keep it

    Each card comes back right before you would forget it. Concepts shared with another pursuit bring your mastery along.

Inside the app

A few minutes or a few hours. Whatever your day allows.

  • A pursuit's session planner set to 30 minutes: review due cards, refresh a fading concept, practice, and a quick mixed check

    Pick the time you have

    Five minutes to two hours. You get a session sized to it: due cards first, then new concepts, practice and a quick check.

  • A flashcard on offer and acceptance, answer revealed, with Again, Hard, Good and Easy buttons

    Review right before you'd forget

    Each card comes back on a schedule set by how well you remembered it last time.

  • Progress dashboard: ability 42, retention 74%, an ability chart on pace to pass, and accuracy by difficulty

    Watch it add up

    Ability, retention and accuracy over weeks, with a projection to your target date.

On: Python for data analysis · Question 3

Why does my groupby give me a Series and not a table?

You picked one column after grouping: ['sales']. Ask for a list, [['sales']], and you get a table back. Try it in the code pad.

Setting this up for someone else?

You set the goal and follow the progress. Autodemia does the teaching.

A whole learning system, on every pursuit at once

Answers with citations

Every claim points back to the page, paragraph or link it came from, so you can check it.

A study partner that remembers

One conversation that knows your pursuits, your weak spots and what you got wrong last week.

Mastery you can see

Each concept has a mastery score that rises with practice and fades with time, like real memory.

Practice, not just reading

Role-play in any language, out-loud explaining, a code pad and a whiteboard for skills you perform.

Made for your phone

Study in five-minute gaps. Install it to your home screen and get a nudge when cards are due.

Start where others did

Start from a pursuit someone already mapped out, or share yours so others can.

A chatbot answers. A learning system makes it stick.

General assistants are great at explaining a thing once. Learning needs a plan, practice and memory, kept across months and across pursuits.

  • Remembers every concept you have studied, in every pursuit
  • Schedules reviews with spaced repetition, so knowledge lasts
  • Cites the sources behind each explanation
  • Shows mastery per concept, not just a chat history
  • Starts on fast models and brings in stronger ones when a question needs it

Questions

What can I learn with Autodemia?

Anything you can describe: a language, calculus, guitar theory, a certification, a new job's domain, or a book you want to really understand. Autodemia builds the concept map from your goal and your sources.

How is this different from asking ChatGPT or Gemini?

A chatbot answers the question in front of it and forgets. Autodemia keeps a map of every concept you are learning, tracks how well you know each one, schedules reviews before you forget, and cites the sources behind its answers.

Who is Marv?

Marv is your Assistant inside Autodemia, an AI study partner you can ask from any screen. He sees what you are on, explains it, checks your work and points the way, while you do the learning. He won't hand you the answer to a question you haven't tried yet.

Can I try it before I sign up?

Yes. Type what you want to learn and you get a first lesson and three questions right away, with no account. Sign up only if you want to keep it, and that lesson becomes the start of your plan.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. You can start free with no card. Paid plans add more AI usage, deeper answers from larger models and community features. See the pricing page for details.

What is the founding membership?

Member for $79 a year, locked for as long as you stay, plus early access to new tools and a spot on the founders wall. Available only through December 31, 2026 (US Eastern time).

Does it work on iPhone and Android?

Yes. Autodemia is built mobile first and runs in any modern browser. Add it to your home screen to use it like an app and receive study reminders.

Can I use it for my kids, my students or my team?

Yes. You become their guide: you set the goal and the sources, and Autodemia does the teaching while you follow their progress. Add child profiles for your kids, set up a class for your students, or create programs for your organization. You can also share any pursuit so others can start from it.
