An AI learning platform that turns your study material into a course. Add a PDF, your slides or a YouTube video and TopGrade splits it into short lessons with quizzes and flashcards.

Yes. TopGrade has a free plan you can study on. A paid plan with more room comes later.

PDFs and slides, photos of your notes, lecture recordings, YouTube videos and web articles. You can also paste text or just type a topic.

Does it work as a flashcard maker?

Yes. TopGrade is a flashcard builder that writes the cards for you, so you need no separate flash cards creator. Every card comes from what you upload, next to the lessons and quizzes.

Can I learn AI, history or law with it?

Yes. Any subject you have material for works, even AI itself from your machine learning lectures. AI and learning work best together when the AI teaches from your own material.

How do I know the answers are right?

TopGrade only uses the material you add. Every summary shows the slide it came from, so you can check it against the original.

Is there an AI note taker?

Yes. Upload a lecture recording and the AI note taker writes it up, then builds the lessons and quizzes from it.

Can I use it on my phone?

Yes, in your phone's browser. A TopGrade app is on the way.
