## Type a concept, get an explanation

Type a concept like “cognitive dissonance” and Toly writes a short explanation with an example. Clear enough to learn from, short enough to review.

**Cognitive dissonance**  (Psychology 101)

- In short: The discomfort of holding two beliefs (or a belief and an action) that don’t fit together.
- Example: Someone who values health keeps smoking, then tells themselves “it’s only a few a day.”
- Why it matters: People often change a belief, not the behaviour, to make the discomfort go away.

## Type a question, get the answer

Turn past-paper questions into cards. Toly writes a short answer and a hook to help you remember it.

**What does the mitral valve do?**  (Anatomy exam)

- Answer: It lets blood flow from the left atrium into the left ventricle and stops it from flowing back.
- Remember it: Mitral = left side. It has two flaps, like a bishop’s mitre.

## A simple exam plan

1. **Start early**: Two or three weeks out beats two nights out.
2. **Add as you study**: Every new term becomes a card in seconds.
3. **Review daily**: A few minutes. Toly decides what’s due.
4. **Check the key cards**: Edit anything that must be exact for your course.

## One deck per subject

Biology, law, anatomy, history: keep each subject in its own deck and see what’s due at a glance.

## Questions

### Is AI accurate enough for exams?

It’s a strong start, but always check cards against your course material. You can edit any card.

### Can I cram with Toly?

You can review as much as you like, but spacing your reviews over days works much better for exams.

### Which subjects work?

Any subject with terms, facts, or short answers: sciences, medicine, law, history, and more.
