Overview
ALETHEA turns long, dense PDFs into an interactive study experience. Instead of re-reading entire chapters the night before an exam, students can upload a document and instantly get summaries, ask questions in natural language, take notes, and generate flashcards — all powered by AI.
Problem it solves
Students often struggle with long theory-heavy PDFs and last-minute exam prep. Re-reading and manually making notes/flashcards is slow and inefficient.
Solution
ALETHEA acts as an AI study companion that reads the PDF for you and turns it into something interactive — summaries, Q&A, notes, and flashcards — so studying becomes faster and more focused.
