Compare · vs ChatGPT
ChatGPT is a general-purpose assistant you can prompt to summarize notes or quiz you. Study Guide Maker is a purpose-built flow for turning your PDF, PowerPoint, Word or pasted notes into a consistent study guide format with page or slide citations, glossary, practice questions and flashcards, plus PDF/Word/CSV export.
Also generate a fill-in-the-blank worksheet + answer key (separate page in Word/PDF). No extra AI call.
Teacher mode unlocks on Student Plus / Pro (and Starter / Exam / Semester packs).
No sign-up · 2 free guides a day · Files are read in your browser, never stored
Upload-oriented workflow, citation tags on key concepts, fixed study-guide sections, and one-click style exports aimed at printing and flashcard apps.
Flexible conversation for many tasks beyond study guides. Output format depends on your prompts; page citations and print layout are not a dedicated product feature set the same way.
ChatGPT capabilities and file features vary by plan and change over time. We do not invent OpenAI pricing tiers here — check OpenAI’s site for current plans.
Upload a PDF, PowerPoint, Word or text file — or paste your notes.

Quiz yourself right on the page, flip through flashcards, or export to PDF, Word and CSV.

Cellular respiration is how cells turn the chemical energy in glucose into ATP. It happens in three stages — glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain — and releases carbon dioxide and water as by-products.
Sample output for illustration.
You can ask it to. Study Guide Maker standardizes the output (outline, cited concepts, glossary, quiz, flashcards) and export paths for that specific job.
No. We only claim what our product does: citations tied to pages or slides from the file you uploaded or the sections of text you pasted.
