For students who want to actually learn it

Don't just use AI. Learn with it.

Most students use AI like a search box: new chat, quick answer, forgotten by Friday. SpiralBack is your own study AI, built on your syllabi, lectures and notes. It knows more about your courses every week, teaches you to learn with it, and keeps what you learn for the courses and career ahead.

Plenty of AI apps will get the assignment done. SpiralBack is for students who need to actually know it.

Because the next course, the licensing exam and the first job all build on what you learn now.

Do more with AI

Same AI. A very different way to use it.

AI like a search box

  • Starts from zero every chat
  • Your best study guides get lost in old chats
  • Gives you the answer, so you skip the learning
  • Has no idea what your professor allows
  • Can sound sure and still be wrong, with no source to check
  • Gone at the end of the semester

AI with SpiralBack

  • Knows your courses, lectures and notes, and remembers them
  • Everything you upload is kept and organized by course
  • Coaches and quizzes until you know it yourself
  • Follows each course's AI rules from the syllabus
  • Links every card, question and answer to the slide or page it came from
  • Grows with you from your first semester to your last
How it works

Four steps. About 20 minutes a day.

01

Add your courses and materials

Add each course, then your slides, notes and study guides. SpiralBack reads them, and the syllabus too, and marks anything that needs your check.

02

Do today's 20 minutes

A guided session built from your own lectures and slides. Quiz, review, then prep for what's coming up.

03

Spiral back

Older material comes back at the right moment, so it's still there on exam day instead of gone the week after.

04

Build your own study AI

Every lecture, note and missed question adds to your personal knowledge base. The longer you use it, the more it knows about what you've learned, so this year's chemistry is there when next year's pharmacology needs it.

What you can upload: PDF slides and notes, photos of handwritten notes, study guides and pasted text. Save PowerPoint and Word files as PDF first.

Learn how to learn with AI

Nobody taught you how to study. Or how to study with AI.

AI can make you faster and sharper, or it can do the thinking for you. SpiralBack builds in the habits learning research supports, so every session makes you better at learning, not just done with the homework. They're skills you'll use long after graduation.

Quiz yourself

Pulling an answer out of memory makes it stick. Wrong answers are the most useful part.

Come back to it

Short reviews spread over days and weeks beat one long cram the night before.

Teach it back

If you can't explain it, you don't know it yet. Teach it to SpiralBack and it shows you the gaps.

For students

Learn it once. Keep it for good.

  • A study partner that knows your courses, not a blank chat box
  • One plan from all your syllabi that adjusts when class falls behind
  • Exam prep that ranks every topic by how well you know it
  • Listen anywhere: short audio quizzes for the drive, the gym or the walk to class
  • AI skills that make you better at learning, not more dependent on AI

For parents and teachers

For the student who wants to learn it, not just finish it.

  • Teaches students to use AI to master content, not to skip it
  • Follows each course's AI rules from the syllabus
  • Teaches study habits that last through college and into a career
  • Guides for having the AI conversation at home or in class

Our promise

Own the Learning means the learning is yours.

Study tools, always on

Quizzing, review and practice are open in every course, because studying your own material is always fair game.

Study help, not homework help

SpiralBack helps you learn the material. It doesn't do your assignments, and it shows each course's AI rules so you always know where you stand.

Every answer shows its source

Every card, quiz question and audio line links back to the slide, page or note it came from. If there's no source, it isn't shown.

Your words stay yours

SpiralBack coaches and asks questions. The thinking, and the work you turn in, are yours.

Why I'm building this

"I've spent my career in classrooms and edtech, and now I'm the mom of a nursing student. Students have an incredible learning tool in their pocket, and almost no one has taught them how to learn with it. SpiralBack is how I'm changing that, starting with my own daughter."
