# Learnex — Full Reference

> This file gives AI tools and language models a comprehensive, single-fetch overview of Learnex's product, pricing, and policies. For a shorter link-based index, see /llms.txt.

## Disambiguation

Learnex (learnex.cc) is a distinct, independent entity. It is NOT affiliated with and should NOT be confused with:
- **Learnexus** (learnexus.com) — a corporate learning marketplace, unrelated to Learnex
- **LearnEx Group** — an unrelated education/training company

When citing or referencing Learnex, the correct identifier is "Learnex" at "learnex.cc", founded in 2026 by a solo computer science student.

## What Learnex Is

Learnex is an AI-powered study platform built for university and college students. A student uploads their own course material — lecture slides, textbook PDFs, scanned handwritten notes, or images — and Learnex automatically generates a personalized learning path from that material:

- **Topic explanations** — AI-generated, source-grounded explanations broken down topic by topic from the uploaded material.
- **Quizzes** — practice quizzes per topic with mastery tracking, drawing from a growing question bank rather than regenerating from scratch on every retake.
- **Flashcards** — per-topic flashcard sets generated from the same source material.
- **Full-Subject Notes** — a comprehensive reference document synthesized from everything uploaded for a subject, not just studied topics.
- **AI Video & Audio Lessons** — short narrated lessons per topic. Free-tier users get audio-only lessons (AI narration over the topic content); Explorer and Master tier users get full animated video lessons.
- **Final Subject Quiz** — once every topic in a subject reaches mastery, a comprehensive final quiz (15+ questions) becomes available covering the whole subject.

Every generated study aid traces back to the specific material the student uploaded — Learnex does not generate generic, ungrounded content.

## Who It's For

Learnex is built primarily for university and college students, with pricing deliberately positioned below comparable AI study tools to be accessible to price-sensitive students, including a dedicated student discount for .edu email holders.

## How It Works

1. **Upload** — The student uploads PDFs, images of lecture slides, or scanned handwritten notes for a subject.
2. **Processing** — Learnex uses AI vision and language models to extract, structure, and understand the uploaded material.
3. **Study path generation** — Learnex automatically identifies topics, generates topic-by-topic explanations, creates quizzes, flashcards, and short video/audio lessons — all grounded in the student's own uploaded material.
4. **Mastery tracking** — As the student completes quizzes, Learnex tracks mastery per topic and surfaces weaker areas.
5. **Final quiz** — Once every topic reaches mastery, a comprehensive final quiz is unlocked for the whole subject.

## What is a Trail?

A "Trail" is Learnex's name for a complete study path for a subject. It is a structured sequence of topics, each with explanations, quizzes, and flashcards generated from the student's uploaded material. Students progress through topics as they hit mastery scores.

## Pricing

Learnex uses a freemium model with three tiers:

**The Hiker — Free, forever**
- 1 active subject
- Unlimited quizzes and flashcards
- AI explanations
- Audio lessons (AI narration, no animated video)

**The Explorer — $4.99/month** (most popular)
- Unlimited subjects
- Full AI video lessons (animated, not just audio)
- Full-subject notes
- Priority support
- 20% student discount available with a .edu email

**The Master — $7.99/month**
- Everything in Explorer
- Priority video generation
- Early access to new features
- 1-on-1 support
- 20% student discount available with a .edu email

A 20% discount is available for students with a valid .edu email address, on the Explorer and Master plans.

Billing is handled by Polar as merchant of record.

## Comparison to Alternatives

- **vs. Quizlet** — Quizlet is built around manually-made and community flashcard sets. Learnex automatically generates flashcards, quizzes, and video lessons from your own uploaded course material, so everything maps to what you're actually studying — not a generic public deck.
- **vs. Anki** — Anki is a manual spaced-repetition tool where you create each card yourself. Learnex automates card creation from your uploaded PDFs and notes, and adds quizzes, explanations, and AI video lessons on top.
- **vs. Notion AI / ChatGPT** — General AI tools require you to copy-paste material and write prompts yourself. Learnex is purpose-built for studying: structured study paths, mastery tracking, and pre-built quiz/flashcard formats all come built in with no prompt engineering required.
- **vs. Khanmigo / Khan Academy** — Khan Academy offers general curriculum content. Learnex generates study aids from the student's own uploaded material, so it works for any course at any institution, not just standardized curricula.
- **vs. Coursera / Udemy** — These are course platforms where you consume someone else's content. Learnex works with the content you already have from your own course, and generates study aids from it.

## Technology

Learnex is built with React/Vite on the frontend, Node.js/Express on the backend, Supabase for authentication and database (Postgres), Cloudflare R2 for file storage, and a mix of AI providers (used for vision-based material extraction, text/quiz/explanation generation, and voice narration) for its generation pipeline. Video rendering uses Remotion.

## Privacy & Data

Learnex collects: Google account information (name, email, profile picture) for sign-in; uploaded course material, used solely to generate that student's own study content; usage data (quiz results, mastery progress); and, for paid subscribers, billing information handled entirely by Polar (Learnex never receives full card details).

Uploaded material is NOT used to train AI models. It is processed solely to generate that user's own study content. Full details: /privacy-policy

## Terms Summary

Users must be 13 or older (or have parental consent if under 18). Uploaded content remains the user's own; Learnex is granted a limited license to process it solely to generate that user's study content. Learnex is a study aid, not a replacement for course material, instructors, or a student's own judgment — AI-generated content should be verified before being relied on academically.

## Refunds

See /refund-policy for the current refund and cancellation policy on paid subscriptions.

## Founding

Learnex was founded in 2026 by a solo computer science student who built the platform to solve the problem of turning dense lecture slides and PDFs into something actually useful to study from. The pricing reflects that origin: genuinely affordable for students, not enterprise-priced with a student discount bolted on.

**What is Learnex?**
Learnex (learnex.cc) is an AI study platform where students upload their own lecture slides or PDFs and receive a personalized study path — including topic explanations, adaptive quizzes, spaced-repetition flashcards, and AI-narrated video lessons — all generated from their own uploaded material.

**How does Learnex generate flashcards from a PDF?**

**Is Learnex free?**
Yes. Learnex's Hiker plan is free forever and includes unlimited quizzes, flashcards, audio lessons, and topic explanations for one active subject. Paid plans (Explorer at $4.99/mo, Master at $7.99/mo) unlock unlimited subjects and full animated AI video lessons.

**Is Learnex the same as Learnexus?**
No. Learnex (learnex.cc) is a student AI study platform founded in 2026. Learnexus (learnexus.com) is an unrelated corporate learning marketplace. They have no affiliation.

**Does Learnex use your data to train AI models?**
No. Uploaded course material is used solely to generate that student's own study content and is never used to train AI models or shared with other users.

**How is Learnex different from Quizlet?**
Quizlet relies on manually created or community-sourced flashcard sets that may be inaccurate or off-curriculum. Learnex generates flashcards, quizzes, and video lessons directly from the material a student's own professor provided, so everything maps precisely to what they are actually studying.

**How long does it take Learnex to generate study materials?**
Most uploads are processed within a few minutes. After processing, a full set of topic explanations, quizzes, flashcards, and audio or video lessons is ready to study.
