Free Study Tools for Students

Four free study tools to try without an account: a 4-week study plan from your syllabus, a thesis generator, a 4.0 GPA calculator and a sourced AI tutor.

The core tools are free and need no account (the AI quiz generator needs a free one). Where a result is saved or emailed, you enter an email and nothing else.

How it works

1. Pick the tool that matches what you are stuck on.
2. Paste your syllabus, topic or grades — no setup, no card.
3. Keep the result: plans are saved at their own link, and the planner PDF is free to print.
