No idea where to start.
You downloaded the PDFs, you have the textbooks. But staring at 300 pages with no structure isn't studying. It's avoiding.

Sound familiar?
You have the material.
You keep waiting for
the right moment.
The perfect free afternoon never comes. And when it does, you don't know what to do with it. So you don't start.
You read it.
You didn't retain it.
Reading through notes and slides feels productive. But without testing yourself, very little actually sticks.
Exam season hits
and you're not ready.
No practice papers. No idea which topics will come up. No system. Just panic and an all-nighter that barely helps.
Kora solves all four.
How it works
Three steps to actually finishing your degree.
Upload your course material
Drop in your course PDF or textbook. Kora reads it, identifies every topic, and breaks it into 25-30 minute study chunks — automatically. No manual setup.

Why Kora exists
Built by a student, for students
I'm studying for a BSc in Applied AI at IU International while working full-time. Self-paced sounded perfect. In practice, it meant constantly waiting for a free afternoon that never came.
But talking to other students, I realised the problem wasn't unique to people with day jobs. Full-time students told me the same story — too much material, no system, no way to know if they actually understood it or just read it. The tools available were either too simple (to-do lists) or too expensive (tutors).
So I built Kora — the study system I wished existed. It reads your actual course material, tests your understanding as you go, generates practice exams in your university's format, and keeps an honest record of where you stand. Not a planner. Not a chatbot. An advisor that knows your course.
Founder, Kora
