Heuristica

Description

Heuristica is an AI-powered learning platform that helps students, researchers and educators learn faster by turning any source into study-ready materials. Users drop in a link or file once, and Heuristica reshapes it into concept maps, flashcards, quizzes, summaries and study notes, or lets them chat with AI and talk directly with their documents.

The platform imports knowledge from PDFs, YouTube videos, websites and academic sources like PubMed and arXiv, generating transcripts, summaries and key takeaways. It builds visual concept maps and mind maps to organize complex topics, then converts them into flashcards with spaced repetition, quizzes in multiple formats, study notes or essays. An AI chat lets users work with many models, including Gemini, Claude, ChatGPT and Qwen, apply custom instructions and turn conversations into study materials.

Heuristica brings tools like an AI concept map maker, flashcard maker, quiz generator, notes generator, PDF summarizer and YouTube and podcast summarizers into one app. It offers a free tier with up to three saved concept maps plus paid plans for higher usage.
