We're turning
the textbook
into a game.

"Studying shouldn't feel like punishment. It should feel like the 45 minutes before your friend gets to the coffee shop — quick, focused, a little fun."

WHAT · 01

What it is.

StudyBuddy is a study app that turns any document you upload — a PDF, a lecture slide, a textbook chapter — into six different ways of learning it. Quiz me. Flashcards. Summary. Key terms. True/false. Match.

We built it because every other study app makes you make the flashcards yourself. Which is, uh, the hard part. We flipped that: you hand us the material, we hand you the practice.

WHY · 02

Why it matters.

Because re-reading doesn't work. Active recall does. And nobody has time to build perfect flashcards at 1am before a midterm.

10×

Better retention

Active recall (what we do) vs. passive re-reading (what you do at 1am). Backed by 40 years of cognitive science.

60s

From PDF to practice

Drop the chapter, get a full study set in under a minute. No more "I'll make flashcards tomorrow."

$0

Free for students

Three uploads a month forever. $7 if you want unlimited. No "trial" nonsense.

HOW · 03

How it works.

You upload. We read. You pick a mode. We generate. You study.

WHO · 04 — the most important part

Who built it.

Three students who kept procrastinating on their own studying and eventually built a way around it. (Honestly, we spent more time building this than we ever spent studying. But our GPAs are fine now, which feels like a win.)

A

Alana Lston

Co-founder, design

Used to make zines in high school. Now makes interfaces. Bio major, somehow. Lives on iced oat lattes.

D

Dev Kulkarni

Co-founder, engineering

Built his first app at 14. Pre-med dropout turned full-stack engineer. Writes all the LLM bits. Can't spell.

M

Maya Rao

Co-founder, growth

Turned her college group chat into a 200-person Discord. Now does the same at scale. Speaks four languages, three badly.
