How It Works in 3 Steps

A quick overview before the detailed walkthrough below.

Step 1

Create or Discover

Start from a topic, goal, or an existing public course

  • Enter a topic, learning goal, or skill gap
  • Add PDFs, links, videos, or playlists (optional)
  • Or browse public courses and start immediately
Step 2

Review the Syllabus

Testudy builds a structured course plan before generation

  • Units, lessons, and micro-lessons in sequence
  • Progression shaped by level, scope, and materials
  • Review first so the course starts in the right direction
Step 3

Study, Test, and Reinforce

Learn in order, check progress, and deepen understanding

  • Study Mode follows the syllabus hierarchy
  • Assessments reveal weak topics and next steps
  • Use AI Assistant + Podcast Mode for reinforcement

Detailed Walkthrough (Key Product Screens)

Each section highlights a core part of the workflow: creating a course, reviewing the syllabus, studying in sequence, testing your level, and reinforcing learning with the AI Assistant and Podcast Mode.

From topic to course

Create / Generate

Start from a topic, goal, or prompt. Add PDFs, websites, videos, or playlists to shape the course around your real source material instead of generic output.

  • Prompt + goal-based course creation
  • Optional materials (PDF / URL / YouTube / playlist)
  • Course scope and level shaping before generation

Syllabus-first workflow

Review / Syllabus

Testudy creates units, lessons, and micro-lessons before you start studying. This syllabus becomes the source of truth for progression, next-lesson navigation, and course generation order.

  • Units and lessons organized in sequence
  • Micro-lesson coverage and structure preview
  • Review and confirm before course generation continues

Guided learning progression

Study Mode

Study Mode is built to move through the course in the syllabus order. Continue from where you left off, track current unit/lesson context, and move forward intentionally.

  • Current unit / lesson / micro-lesson context
  • Next Lesson progression flow
  • Course-aware navigation instead of random jumps

Test your level

Assessment

Assessments help learners measure what they already know, identify weak topics, and decide what to study next. Guests can access supported public course assessments too.

  • Question flow with progress tracking
  • Topic-level score and performance breakdown
  • Actionable weak-topic guidance for next steps

Course-specific help

Personalized AI Assistant

Each course can include a personalized AI Assistant that understands the current course context, helping explain concepts, answer questions, and support active learning.

  • Context-aware answers based on your course
  • Explanations tied to current learning flow
  • Useful for clarification, review, and active recall

Learn by listening

Podcast Mode

Podcast Mode turns learning into an audio-friendly experience so you can reinforce concepts while commuting, walking, or reviewing away from the screen.

  • Audio-first reinforcement and revision
  • Useful for repetition and retention
  • Fits on-the-go or low-focus study moments

Workflow FAQs

Common questions about how the learning workflow works (separate from pricing and billing FAQs).

Do I need to upload materials before generating a course?

No. You can start from a topic or goal only. Materials are optional, but adding PDFs, links, or videos helps Testudy generate a more tailored syllabus and course flow.

What is the difference between Study Mode and Assessment?

Study Mode is for guided learning through the syllabus. Assessment is for checking what you already know, validating progress, and identifying weak topics before or during study.

Can I use public courses without creating one first?

Yes. You can browse public courses on Discover, open public course pages, review the syllabus, and take assessments on supported courses without generating your own first.

What does Remix do?

Remix creates your own copy of a course so you can customize it, regenerate parts of it, and adapt it to your own goal, audience, or learning plan.

Does the AI Assistant know my specific course?

Yes. The AI Assistant is course-aware, so it can answer questions using the context of the course you are currently studying.
