OpenAI has understandably pitched its new ChatGPT Study mode as a tool for students. The Socratic questioning, quizzes, memory checks, and feedback are designed to help students learn topics in ways that best suit their individual learning needs.

OpenAI, the research laboratory that created ChatGPT, on July 29, unveiled a new “study mode” feature in the app. The study mode is designed to guide users through the process of finding the answers step by step, rather than simply giving users the answers.

To use Study mode, you can choose a subject (like biology, history or statistics), set your level of knowledge (beginner, intermediate or advanced) and even tell the AI how you want to study such as with flashcards, Q&A, breakdowns of concepts or practice problems.
