Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about studying with Libraryyy.
What is Libraryyy?
Libraryyy is a free, open-source study platform built for university students. We turn real course materials — shared by students who actually take the course — into verified study guides, flashcards, mock exams, podcasts, mind maps, and more. Everything is reviewed and fact-checked by our AI Teachers' Council before it reaches you.
Is Libraryyy really free?
Yes. All study guides, all mock exams, all flashcards, all podcasts, and every feature on Libraryyy are free for university students. No paywalls, no per-course fees, no hidden charges. The platform is open-source and community-driven.
What study materials does Libraryyy offer?
Twelve different study formats, all generated from your actual course content: study guides, flashcards, quizzes, mock exams, podcasts, video scripts, mind maps, infographics, slide decks, data tables, reports, and interactive sections. You pick the format that fits your study style — visual, audio, written, or hands-on practice.
How is Libraryyy different from ChatGPT for studying?
ChatGPT and other generic AIs work from general training data, which means they often produce confident-sounding answers that are subtly wrong — especially for course-specific material. Libraryyy works from your actual course documents and validates every output through our AI Teachers' Council before publishing. The result is course-aligned, professor-aligned, and fact-checked study material instead of generic AI summaries.
How does Libraryyy create study materials?
Students contribute course materials (PDFs, slides, lecture notes, even handwritten photos), and Libraryyy automatically extracts the text, images, and equations from those files. Then our AI Teachers' Council reviews the content — five AI teachers each playing a different role: one creates, one reviews for accuracy, one enriches with examples, one validates against the source, and one fact-checks against real-world knowledge. Verified content becomes the study materials students see.
Which universities does Libraryyy support?
Any university. Libraryyy is built around student contributions — if your course exists somewhere in the world and a student uploads materials from it, that course can have study resources on Libraryyy. We're not tied to a specific institution.
How do I contribute my course notes?
Sign in, verify your university email (this confirms you're enrolled), and upload course documents in any format: PDFs, DOCX, PowerPoint, photos of handwritten notes, even videos. Every contribution goes through moderation and is verified before becoming part of the study material.
Are the mock exams accurate to my real exam?
Mock exams are generated from your actual course materials, which means the topics, difficulty level, and question style closely match what your professor is likely to test. The more course material is contributed for a given course, the more accurate the mock exams become. You can also see which weeks or chapters each question covers, so you can practice exactly what you need.
Can I challenge content I think is wrong?
Yes. If you find an answer or explanation you disagree with, you can flag it and the AI Teachers' Council will re-evaluate. If you're right, the content is corrected. If the Council confirms the content is correct, you'll see an explanation of why. This keeps the platform honest and lets students participate in quality control.
Who reviews the content?
Five AI teachers — Luna, Atlas, Nova, Sage, and Echo — review every piece of content independently. Luna creates, Atlas reviews, Nova enriches, Sage validates, and Echo fact-checks. Because each teacher works independently, they form a real peer-review panel. Human moderators also review student contributions before they enter the pipeline.
