Update March 24, 2026

Smart AI source search, a more reliable exam simulator, learning from images, and the Chrome extension

Less random Googling, more time to study. We added AI-powered discovery of solid study pages for your topic, improved the exam simulator and results screen, made notes nicer to read, and expanded how you can turn materials into flashcards and quizzes — including straight from a photo of the whiteboard or your notes.

AI search for study sources

Describe your topic or subject area and get suggested pages with substantial learning content — encyclopedias, open notes, textbooks — with short explanations of why each page helps. Pick what you want and save it to your knowledge vault as the basis for flashcards, quizzes, or chat.

Fewer dead-end clicks, more trustworthy pages

NEW

The search is tuned to favor long-form educational text over thin news or paywalled content. You can import results into diStudero in one step and keep working across the full study workflow.

Exam simulator: smoother sessions and clearer evaluation

Practice sessions should feel dependable — we hardened behavior so you focus on answers, not glitches. When you finish, a refreshed evaluation screen shows your score, timing, and per-question feedback so you see strengths and what to review next. Learn more on the exam simulation page.

More stable exam flow

Fewer interruptions and more consistent behavior — closer to a real exam, less like fighting the UI.

Results that help you improve

Clear summary of performance, question-level feedback, and suggestions for what to study next — all in one place after the session.

Flashcards and quizzes from images — and images on flashcards

A lecture photo, a diagram screenshot, or a scan of your notes can be enough: the AI builds questions and cards the same way as from text. You can also attach images to cards for visual memory — great for anatomy, maps, formulas, and charts. See also our flashcards and quizzes pages for how they fit into your workflow.

From snapshot to practice in minutes

Skip retyping the board into notes when you can snap a picture and turn it into practice material.

Vision + vault

Reading mode for smart notes

When you don't want to edit by accident, switch to reading mode — chrome from the editor fades away and the text is laid out for focused reading and revision before a test. This is part of smart notes.

Calm reading without clutter

One toggle from editing to a clean page — ideal for long scripts or a quick read-through before an exam.

Chrome extension

The browser extension brings diStudero closer to where you already work online, with faster access to your materials and tools. Details and install links are on distudero.com/extension.

diStudero in Chrome

Install the official extension from the Chrome Web Store and keep study tools next to your browsing — via the link above.

QR sharing

For shared flashcards and quizzes, you can show a QR code so friends open the set on their phone without copying a long link. Great in class or groups: one code on the projector or handout and everyone gets the same link.

QR for shared sets

Quick handoff in the classroom or a study group — no long URLs to type.
