Guides for students who want AI to help them actually learn — study and revision, essays and research, STEM help, applications — without crossing into cheating or turning in work that isn't yours.
Every tool runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you type is uploaded or stored.
Work out what an AI model actually costs per month from your token usage, and compare the major models side by side.
Free toolPaste any text to estimate how many tokens it uses, and see what that text would cost to send to each major model.
Free toolCompare a flat monthly chat subscription against the equivalent API usage and find the break-even point where one overtakes the other.
Free toolFour questions about your task, budget and experience — then a recommendation and the guides to go with it.
Which AI tools actually help a student (mostly the free ones), where the cheating line is, and how to check what AI tells you.
3 guidesFlashcards and quizzes from your notes, an AI tutor that makes you think, and a revision plan that holds up at exam time.
3 guidesPlan and outline essays while keeping the writing yours, research without fake citations, and edit without tripping detectors.
3 guidesTurn messy notes into clear diagrams, build a presentation fast, and make visual study aids that help you remember.
3 guidesUnderstand hard math and science step by step, learn to code with AI as a tutor not a crutch, and debug homework honestly.
3 guidesManage deadlines and a student budget, write scholarship and internship applications, and prep for interviews and first jobs.
A practical map of which AI tools actually help you study, and how to do serious work without paying a cent.
A step-by-step method for converting your own lecture notes and slides into spaced-repetition cards and self-tests that actually build memory.
A practical system for using AI to plan your term, protect your grades, and stretch a tight budget without letting it run your life.
How to use AI to actually understand hard math and science problems, one step at a time, so the learning sticks.
Prompts and habits that turn a chatbot into a tutor who asks questions and checks your reasoning instead of just giving the solution.
How to convert a wall of lecture scrawl into diagrams that actually help you study, without letting the AI do your thinking for you.
Students get two useless messages about AI: that it's cheating so avoid it, or that it's a magic shortcut that does your work. Neither helps you actually learn.
There's an honest middle — using AI to understand hard material faster, quiz yourself, plan an essay you still write, and catch your own mistakes, while staying on the right side of your school's rules. That's what we cover, with the exact steps and the limits (fake citations, AI detectors, when to just do it yourself). Where we cite figures like tool prices, they live in one date-stamped table on the model pricing page (last checked 20 July 2026).
