Study Kits are all-in-one study tools with multiple resources for students; all aligned to the content you upload or describe. Inside a Study Kit, Smart Study is Thea’s signature feature, offering adaptive questions to students based on their progress and performance. Study Kits also include Flashcards with spaced repetition, interactive games, and a Study Guide that you can edit in advance of sharing with your students.

Assignments let you create high-quality practice questions (like multiple choice, short answer, true/false, and more) based on your own materials. You can share the assignment link with students, who will receive immediate feedback as they complete it. While you can delete questions you don’t like, in-platform editing isn’t currently supported—however, you can copy the content to edit it outside of Thea.

When you upload materials or describe your course, Thea extracts key concepts, terms, and context to generate aligned content. Your materials are not used to train AI models or shared with others.

Uploaded content is only used to support your students. It stays private and secure—never shared or reused elsewhere for other purposes.

No. Thea does not use your uploaded content to train AI models. Your materials stay private and are never used beyond your intended use with your students.

No. Only students and other educators that you share with can see the titles of documents used to generate Study Kits or Assignments, but not the contents. It is safe to upload past or upcoming tests to Thea!

Yes. Your IP is protected. Materials are never used to train AI models or shared with others—only you and your students benefit from the content you provide.

Yes. You can remove documents at any time, and they will no longer be used in your Study Kits or Assignments. However, this won’t revoke access for any students you’ve already shared those materials with—they’ll still retain the versions they received.

You can use anything to build an Assignment or Study Kit for your students! Here are some of the best types of materials to use:

• Tests & study guides: Great for creating Study Kits or Assignments. Titles are visible to students, but content isn’t.

• Flashcards: Use the “Paste” option for exact term-definition sets.

• Textbooks: You can upload full books and direct Thea to specific pages.

• Videos: Thea works with YouTube videos with captions, including recorded lectures.

• Handwritten notes: Supported! Try uploading and see.

• Multiple files: You can upload multiple files at a time.

Smart Study adapts in real-time to each student’s performance. If a student is struggling, it offers easier questions or reinforces concepts. If a student is doing well, it introduces more challenging material and progresses through the content faster.

Yes! You can adjust the rigor, question types, and reading level using the Smart Study Settings tool. You can find the Settings tool to the far right of the Progress Bar. Use “Student View” to preview the experience and make sure it’s just right for your learners.

In the rare case that Thea doesn’t quite capture the intent of your materials, you have a few options:

• Upload more documents to provide additional context, or remove materials that might be outside the scope of what you’re trying to focus on

• Describe the content more precisely and thoroughly using the “Describe” feature

• Adjust Smart Study settings to guide Thea’s focus

• Edit the Study Guide manually if needed (this will not impact other parts of Thea)

Thea works well for most subjects, including sciences, social sciences, math (except for full support of Geometry), and widely known literature.For literature in particular, Thea is best used as a review tool for books, since questions may reveal key plot points. For more niche topics, Thea will need detailed materials to maximize its effectiveness.

Students can currently log in using Google Classroom. Broader LMS integrations are under consideration, and updates will be shared as development progresses.

Thea is designed to be easy for students to access and use. If your school uses Google Classroom, students can log in with their school emails. Thea is listed as an educational platform with major web content filtering services. For schools with strict content filters, we recommend checking with your IT coordinator ahead of time (a draft email is available to help with this).
