Learn Mode

Learn Mode transforms any topic into a complete study suite — flashcards, quizzes, notes, and a presentation — all generated in parallel from a single prompt.

How It Works

1. Start a conversation— open AI Chat and ask about a topic you want to study. Learn mode activates automatically when it detects study-related intent (e.g. "teach me about", "study materials for", "flashcards on").

2. Choose your depth — the AI asks what level of detail you want before building anything.

3. Watch it build — a dedicated side panel opens showing real-time progress as four artifacts are created in parallel.

4. Explore & extend — click any artifact card to open it. After completion, interactive coding suggestions let you create timelines, quiz games, and concept maps.

Depth Levels

The depth level controls how detailed and complex the generated materials are.

High School

Broad overview with clear, accessible explanations and simple examples.

College

Deeper coverage with supporting evidence, terminology, and structured analysis.

Deep Dive

Comprehensive treatment with primary sources, nuance, and expert-level detail.

What Gets Created

Every learn session produces four artifacts. They are created in parallel after the AI researches your topic on the web.

Flashcards

Spaced-repetition cards with fronts and backs covering key concepts.

Quiz

Multiple-choice and true/false questions with explanations for each answer.

Study Notes

Structured notes project with headings, sections, and key takeaways.

Presentation

Slide deck summarizing the topic with titles, bullets, and image prompts.

The Progress Panel

When a learn session starts, a side panel slides open showing step-by-step progress. Each step has an icon, label, elapsed timer, and animated indicator.

Researching topic — Searches the web for authoritative sources on your topic.

Creating flashcards — Generates study cards from research content.

Building quiz — Creates quiz questions at the chosen difficulty.

Writing study notes — Produces a structured notes project.

Designing presentation — Builds a slide deck with the key points.

Generating suggestions — Offers interactive coding ideas (timelines, quiz games, concept maps).

If some artifacts fail, the panel shows a "partial results" banner — the successfully created materials are still available.

Interactive Suggestions

After all artifacts are ready, the panel offers three interactive coding ideas tailored to your topic:

Interactive Timeline — a scrollable timeline of key events with hover details
Quiz Game — a gamified quiz with scoring, streaks, and animations
Concept Explorer — a clickable concept map showing how ideas connect

Click any suggestion to have the AI build it as a live code artifact using Theo's code generation tools.

Session Persistence

Learn sessions are tied to the conversation. If you navigate away and come back, the panel remembers its state — completed artifacts stay accessible, and any in-progress job continues polling in the background.

A compact card also appears inline in the chat message stream so you can reopen the panel at any time.

Be specific!Instead of "teach me history", try "study materials for the causes and effects of the French Revolution at college level". The more focused your topic, the higher quality your artifacts will be.

AI Credits

Learn mode uses Think-tier credits (Claude Opus) for the initial conversation, plus additional credits for web research and artifact generation. A typical session uses roughly 2–4× the credits of a single Think message due to the multiple parallel generation steps.
