Feynman
Feynman turns studying into teaching. You explain a concept in your own words, an AI student pushes back with questions, and it shows you exactly where your understanding falls apart.
How to use it
- Install Feynman from the Plugins page.
- Open a study session. In the tool tabs, click + and add Feynman.
- Generate a session from the workspace files you want to be tested on. Feynman picks a short list of concepts to cover.
- Pick a concept and type an explanation the way you’d say it to a friend.
- Answer the follow-up questions. When you’re solid, move to the next concept.
What you should see
One concept at a time with a challenge prompt, a box to write your explanation, and a back-and-forth chat where the AI probes the gaps. Each concept shows a mastery level: not understood, developing, understood, or mastered.
Good to know
- Mastery tracking: every attempt is scored, so you can see which concepts still need work.
- Flashcards from your gaps: once a session is done, generate a deck built from the exact points you struggled with. See Flashcards.
- History sidebar: past sessions are saved so you can come back and retry a concept later.
- Difficulty: sessions can run easier or harder depending on how deep you want to go.
Limits and costs
700 credits to generate a session. See Usage Limits.
If it doesn’t work
Feynman isn’t in the tool tabs: install it from the Plugins page first, then add it with the + button in a study session.
It keeps saying my explanation has gaps: that’s the point. Read the follow-up questions, they tell you which link in the reasoning is missing.
