7 AI Study Tools That Read Your Textbook For You
iTutor's study tools read your uploaded materials and produce study documents that point back to the pages they came from. Study guides, worked solutions, chapter summaries, glossaries, concept explainers, reading guides and exam prep sessions, all from one upload.
Why these are different
Three things all 7 tools share.
Grounded in your materials
Every point traces back to a specific part of your uploaded textbook, not a generic web answer.
4 export formats
PDF (with Arabic glyph support), Word DOCX, Markdown, and CSV where it applies.
Works in 12 languages
The tools follow the language of your material, with right-to-left layouts for Arabic and Urdu.
AI Study Guide
Turn any uploaded textbook into a complete, exam-ready review document: key concepts, formulas, worked examples, common mistakes and likely exam questions, condensed into one printable pack.
Made from your uploaded materials, not generic web content
Choose the depth: Brief, Standard or Comprehensive
Optionally focus on specific chapters or topics
Export to PDF, Word or Markdown
Best for: University students revising for finals, IB and AP students, anyone who hates writing study guides by hand.
AI Worked Solutions
Takes the problems from your STEM textbook (or writes new ones in the same style) and solves them step by step, with an explanation and the math at every step, the final answer and a common-pitfall note.
Difficulty filter: intro, medium or hard
Two PDF exports: the full version with answers and a student version without
Each problem includes a common-pitfall warning
CSV export for an LMS gradebook
Best for: STEM courses where the textbook only has selected solutions at the back: math, physics, engineering, chemistry, economics.
AI Chapter Summary Pack
Detects the chapter structure of your uploaded materials and produces matching summary cards: main ideas, key terms, key quotes with page references, comprehension questions and an "if you only remember one thing" box.
Detects chapters for you; set a cap from 5 to 25
Grid view plus a detail view for each chapter
Key quotes kept with their page numbers
Print-friendly PDF, one chapter per page
Best for: The "I just uploaded a 500-page PDF, now what?" moment. Ideal for a first pass through a new textbook.
AI Glossary
Builds a searchable A to Z reference of every technical term in your uploaded materials. Each entry has a definition in context, the page where it first appears, an example from the material, related terms and Arabic and English translations.
Choose how many terms: 10 to 80
A to Z index with smooth scrolling
Live search across terms and definitions
CSV export that opens correctly in Excel, Arabic included
Best for: Courses heavy with jargon: medicine, law, engineering, theology, computer science. Especially helpful when you study in a second language.
AI Concept Explainer
Pick any concept from your course materials and get a 6-tab deep dive: a 5-minute summary, a 15-minute full explanation, an analogy, a worked example, common misconceptions and links to other concepts in the same course.
Choose the depth: Quick, Standard or Deep
Misconceptions tab with wrong, correct and why
Links to related concepts in your materials
Grounded in your textbook, not generic answers
Best for: The "wait, I really don't get this" moment. Generate the deep dive on your phone after class and walk away understanding it.
AI Reading Guide
For one uploaded material: questions to ask before reading, key terms to watch for, guided questions section by section with checkboxes, margin prompts and prompts to pull it together afterwards. Made to be filled in while you read.
Pick one specific material (PDF) to focus on
Two-column section walker with checkboxes that stay ticked
Margin prompts in highlighted boxes
After-reading prompts that connect it to the course
Best for: Humanities, philosophy, theory, literature and seminars: anywhere you have to read dense texts closely and actually engage with them.
AI Exam Prep Session
Rebuilds the review session a teaching assistant would run for your materials. It finds and weights the topics, then gives each one key points, common pitfalls, practice questions with worked answers and an "if you only remember one thing" box, with a session timer built in.
Session length: 30, 60, 90 or 120 minutes
Topic checklist that survives a reload
Start and pause timer with a progress bar
Printable one-page cheat sheet
Best for: The night before the exam. Press start, work through each topic at the pace the timer sets, tick them off and print the cheat sheet for the morning.
How these differ from a general chatbot
A general chatbot can summarize a file you give it, one chat at a time. iTutor's study tools are material-first: they work from everything in the subject, point back to the pages they used, and save the result next to your files.
| What you need | iTutor study tools | General chatbot |
|---|---|---|
| Built from everything you uploaded to the subject | Yes | one chat's files |
| Citations to specific pages | Yes | sometimes |
| Step-by-step worked solutions | Yes | varies |
| Chapter structure detected for you | Yes | no |
| A to Z searchable glossary from your PDF | Yes | no |
| Print-ready PDF and Word export | Yes | copy and paste |
| Saved in your subject for later | Yes | in chat history |
| Right-to-left layouts for Arabic and Urdu | Yes | limited |
