Question 1

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer

Add your materials to your Library — drop in PDFs, slides, or audio, or paste a YouTube/web link. Once a source is in, Skolight turns it into structured notes, flashcards, and summaries you can study from, and you can ask the Skolar AI tutor about any of it.

Question 2

What can I upload or import?

Accepted Answer

PDFs and documents (DOC, DOCX, TXT), slide decks (PPT, PPTX), audio recordings, YouTube videos, and plain web links. Each source becomes organized, searchable study material in your Library.

Question 3

How do flashcards and spaced repetition work?

Accepted Answer

Skolight auto-generates flashcards from your sources, then schedules reviews with spaced repetition so the important facts resurface right before you would forget them. You can also create and edit cards by hand.

Question 4

How do I create mock exams and quizzes?

Accepted Answer

Open a Space and use Generate to build a quiz or a full mock exam from your own material. Every answer comes with a clear explanation, so practice doubles as revision.

Question 5

What is the Skolar AI tutor and how do I use it?

Accepted Answer

Skolar is your in-app AI tutor. Ask it anything and it answers using your own notes and sources, with citations back to where the information came from. Open it from the Agent tab or the floating button on any page.

Question 6

Can Skolight help me plan my studying?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Plan section builds a personalized study schedule from your goals and deadlines, and the built-in Pomodoro focus timer keeps each session on track from today through to test day.

Question 7

What are Spaces and Groups?

Accepted Answer

Spaces keep the materials, notes, decks, exams, and study sessions for one subject together in a single place. Groups let you collaborate — share a library and study with classmates. Find both in the sidebar.

Question 8

How do I upgrade, change my plan, or buy credits?

Accepted Answer

Go to Settings → Billing & Plans to upgrade, switch tiers, top up credits, or update your payment card. Free, Basic, Pro, and Ultra differ mainly in daily AI words and import limits.

Question 9

Why am I hitting a daily limit?

Accepted Answer

AI words and imports reset daily, and the allowance depends on your plan — for example Free includes 1,000 AI words and 5 imports per day, while Pro raises that to 40,000 words and 150 imports. Upgrade in Settings → Billing if you need more headroom.

Question 10

How do I manage my account or delete my data?

Accepted Answer

Manage your profile, password, and active sessions under Settings. To permanently remove your account and all study data, use the Danger Zone in Settings → Security. Account deletion cannot be undone.
