A complete study system, built around your own summaries
Build your summaries. Then learn them.
MySummaries turns your papers, books, slides and photographed notes into one organised page of summaries — then helps you learn it with flashcards, written exams, audio lectures and a spoken examiner.
The problem
Organising knowledge steals the energy you need to learn it.
Experts waste enormous cognitive effort deciding where information goes, how to structure it, and how to keep it current. That overhead comes straight out of the work that actually produces expertise: understanding, retrieval, application and synthesis.
MySummaries maintains the architecture for you. Every source you capture lands in a structure that already exists — no folders, no filing decisions, no blank page. You spend your attention enriching a living map, not rebuilding summaries from scratch.
It isn't a note-taking app.
It's a study system built on your own summaries.
The difference is the architecture
- One page, not a thousand files. A global overview of the whole subject, with drill-down to every concept.
- Living summaries. Cells evolve with new evidence instead of going quietly out of date.
- AI that teaches from your knowledge. Lectures, cases and questions are built from your map, not the generic internet.
- Recall built into the structure. A heat map shows what's fading before you forget it — spaced repetition without a separate app.
- Zero-friction capture. PDFs, journal articles, books, slides, webpages, images — even photographs of handwritten notes.
- Theory to performance. The same map drives written mock exams and live oral examination.
The method
Six pillars, one loop.
From first capture to confident explanation — each stage feeds the next, and the map holds it all together.
-
01
Capture
Bring in anything — PDFs, papers, book chapters, lecture slides, webpages, photos of handwritten notes. No filing decisions, ever.
-
02
Organise
AI places every fact into a single-page knowledge map — structured columns, interconnected cells, overview and detail at once.
-
03
Learn
One click turns any section into flashcards, quizzes, audio lectures, practice cases or comparison tables — generated from your own map.
-
04
Update
Ask any cell to rewrite, simplify, expand or reconcile itself with the latest literature. Summaries that evolve instead of rot.
-
05
Apply
Written mock exams set from your notes and marked against them. Practice cases and problem-solving that test application, not recognition.
-
06
Communicate
A live AI examiner conducts realistic oral examinations from your map — then shows you the ideal answer you were reaching for.
The sixth pillar
Knowledge is only valuable if you can explain it.
Most tools help you consume information. Almost none help you express it — and the oral exam, the interview and the presentation are where your knowledge is actually judged.
The AI examiner asks realistic oral questions on any topic — or any single cell — listens to your spoken answer, and scores it across accuracy, completeness, organisation, reasoning and clarity. Then it shows the ideal answer framework, so every attempt ends with the shape of a better one.
Difficulty adapts. Recurring weaknesses surface. And every question links back to the exact cells to review next.
Take the second cell on your board. Walk me through it — then tell me where that reasoning breaks down.
I'd start with the two conditions it depends on, then the main exception — and the case where you'd choose the alternative instead…
Core claim → what it depends on → the main exception → the alternative and when to prefer it → how you'd know you were wrong
Showcase
See it working.
Short recordings from the real workspace — the board, the drills, the examiner. No mock-ups.
iOS app
The whole loop, in your pocket.
The MySummaries iPhone app carries your boards with you — drill the cards that are due, sit written papers, play your lectures on a commute, and take the oral examiner anywhere you can speak.
- Everything syncs with the web workspace, both directions
- Review queue and heat map, tuned for five-minute gaps
- Record spoken answers and get the same scored debrief
