I’m tired of having 5 different apps just to study for one exam. So I’m building "The Auto-Pilot." Thoughts?
Hi everyone,
I'm a student currently studying for my A/Ls, and I recently realized that I spend way too much time organizing and building my 'productive' study planners or schedules, just for the sake of it to look 'aesthetic'. I’m using Notion for notes, Anki for flashcards, Notion Calendar for my schedule, and a random Pomodoro timer in a dscord channel. It’s a mess. Instead, I would like to get right into studying rather than customizing my Notion pages and calendars. In my opinion, it's an unnecessary hassle.
I'm building a platform to solve this problem. My goal was to create a zero-hassle, co-pilot sort of thing for learning. For example, if you're studying for an exam, all you have to do is input your exam date and all the notes or syllabi, and whenever you open the platform, it'll tell you what to study and for how long, based on the difficulty of the subject or if it's something you're about to forget based on active recall.
So I have a few questions to make this UX the best it can be:
Would you rather have a clean, minimalistic dashboard that directly tells you what to study at a particular moment or a very advanced and heavy interface?
How important is it to be able to import from Notion/obsidian/anki and any of your other apps you currently use?
Do leaderboards and study groups actually help you study, or are they just a whole other distraction where you put your energy into?
What is your biggest friction point you face in your current study system? (missing a session, having to manually adjust study blocks if you don't feel like studying, etc.)
On a scale of 1 to 10, how much do you enjoy setting up a new study system (organizing folders, making cards, etc.) vs the actual studying?
If you had previously used a study application and quit, what was the reason for it? Was it too complicated or did it not help you at all?
and finally, What specific features would make you pay for a subscription?
You don't have to answer all these questions at all, instead you could also give me suggestions which would help out massively, Thank you for taking your time to read this.
This is not a promo, I just want to know what features users prioritize.
