What is Knowt?

Knowt positions itself as a free alternative to paid study platforms, built around the same basics: flashcards, learn mode, practice tests and a library of sets shared by other students. Its AI tools turn notes, PDFs, lecture videos and slides into flashcards, summaries and practice questions, and an AI tutor answers follow-up questions about the material you uploaded. Teachers can assemble and share study material for a class. Because it is free and ad-supported, the polish and content moderation are lighter than in a paid product, and generated questions deserve checking against your sources.

FAQ

Is Knowt genuinely free?

The core study features and the main AI tools are free and funded by ads. A paid tier exists to lift generation limits and remove advertising, but it is optional for ordinary revision.

How accurate are the generated flashcards?

They are a first draft. The models can misread a source or invent detail, so review anything you plan to memorise, especially dates, formulas and definitions that must match your course.

Can teachers use it with a class?

Yes, teachers can build material and share it with students. Schools should review privacy terms before material or student work is uploaded to any third-party platform.
