How to Use Flaevo: A Feature-by-Feature Guide for Students

Flaevo packs a lot into one app, so here's a practical, feature-by-feature walkthrough of how to actually use it — from your first upload to a daily study routine.

1. Add your first course

The heart of Flaevo is My Courses. Instead of studying against a generic textbook, you study your own material.

  • Open My Courses and create a course.
  • Upload your slides, a PDF, or your notes — or just type a topic if you don't have a file.
  • Flaevo processes the material and turns it into focused study sessions.

Tip: upload one lecture or chapter at a time rather than a whole 300-page textbook. Smaller, focused material makes for sharper sessions, quizzes and podcasts.

2. Ask Flae, your AI tutor

Flae is your AI tutor. Open a session and ask anything — "explain this in simple terms," "give me an example," "why is this the answer?"

The trick is to make Flae test you, not just tell you. Good prompts:

  • "Explain this, then quiz me on it."
  • "I think the answer is X because Y — where am I wrong?"
  • "Give me a harder version of this question."

Flae explains with analogies, shows accurate working for maths, and can draw diagrams. For more, see how to get the best out of Flae.

3. Test yourself with quizzes

From any topic or your own notes, generate a quiz or mock exam. Questions are exam-style and timed, so you practise under real conditions. This is active recall — the single most effective thing you can do to actually remember material. Attempt every question before checking the answer; the struggle is where the learning happens.

4. Build flashcards and let Smart Review do the schedule

Flaevo auto-builds flashcard decks from your material. You don't have to decide when to review them — Smart Review uses spaced repetition to bring each card back right before you'd forget it. Anything you get wrong is added back to the queue automatically, so your weak spots keep returning until they stick.

5. Turn a session into a podcast

Tap to generate a Course Podcast episode from a session. Flae narrates it — teaching, not just reading — with analogies and quick recall moments. Generate it once, then replay it offline while walking, commuting, or resting your eyes. It's one of the best ways to squeeze revision into dead time.

6. Stay focused with the Focus Timer

Use the built-in Focus Timer to run Pomodoro-style study blocks — deep work with real breaks. It tracks your streak, which is a surprisingly strong motivator. If you struggle to concentrate, see our guide to focusing while studying.

7. Plan your week with Smart Planner

The Smart Planner builds a study schedule around your real deadlines and daily life, so you always know what to study next instead of staring at everything at once.

A simple daily routine with Flaevo

  1. Open your Smart Planner to see what's due today.
  2. Study one session — read it, then ask Flae to quiz you.
  3. Do your Smart Review cards — five minutes of recall.
  4. Listen to a podcast episode of today's topic on your way home.
  5. Keep your streak — a little every day beats cramming.

Do that consistently and Flaevo handles the hard parts of studying — what to review, when, and how — so you can focus on actually learning.

Frequently asked questions

How do I upload my notes to Flaevo?

Open My Courses, create a course, and upload your slides, a PDF or your notes — or type a topic if you don't have a file. Flaevo turns the material into study sessions, quizzes, flashcards and podcasts. Uploading one lecture or chapter at a time works best.

How do I make flashcards on Flaevo?

Flaevo builds flashcard decks automatically from your uploaded material. You don't schedule reviews yourself — Smart Review uses spaced repetition to bring each card back just before you'd forget it, and adds anything you get wrong back into the queue.

How do I create a podcast from my notes?

Inside a course session, tap to generate a Course Podcast episode. Flae narrates and teaches the material with analogies and recall questions. Once generated, you can replay the episode offline as many times as you like.

What file types can I upload to Flaevo?

You can upload lecture slides, PDFs and notes. If you don't have a file, you can simply type a topic and Flaevo will build a study session from it.

How should I use Flaevo every day?

Check your Smart Planner for what's due, study one session and have Flae quiz you, do your Smart Review flashcards, and optionally listen to a podcast episode of the topic. Keeping a daily streak — a little each day — beats cramming.

Does Flaevo work offline?

Course Podcasts can be replayed offline once you've generated them, which makes them ideal for revising while travelling. Generating new content and syncing your progress needs an internet connection.
