- Asks questions and checks understanding rather than just answering
- Accepts photos, PDFs and your own notes
- Same app many students already use
- Nothing stops a student switching back to normal ChatGPT for direct answers
- Can make confident mistakes, so answers still need checking
- Study Mode is a prompt layer, not a separate curriculum or progress tracker
