Going back over what you learned takes longer than you have

You learned it once, and you’ll need it again for a new project, a hard decision, or the first time you try the method yourself. By then the details have faded, and the recordings and notes are the only way back. Most weeks there isn’t time for that.

Review the key points in a few minutes

Choose what it covers

Pick a few resources, a collection, or a focus area, and say what it should help with, like a project you’re starting or a method you want to try. You can also just ask for one in chat.

A review guide

The main ideas, how they differ, and how they connect, with a few questions to test yourself where they help. In the app, study guides are called review guides.

A cheat sheet for difficult conversations, with three questions and the video it came from.

A cheat sheet

One compact page with what you need at hand when you put the ideas to use, short enough to keep open beside your work.

Linked to your sources

Numbered links after the key ideas open the resource each one came from, and a Resources tab lists everything the guide drew on.

Written for your work, and part of your practice

Part of your week

A practice playbook can prepare a review guide for you at no charge, and reading it counts toward the week. Mark it reviewed when you’re done, or finish it later.

A request to shorten a strategy guide while the current version stays available.

Change it by asking

Ask for changes in chat, like more on one idea or a shorter version, and Bettership writes a new version. The one you have stays readable until it’s ready.

Beside your exercises

Your practice agent can attach a cheat sheet or guide to an exercise, to read before you start or after you finish.

Written for your purpose

Each one is written for what you said it should help with, and draws on your focus area and what you’ve shared about your work.

Common questions

Yes. Bettership writes study guides and cheat sheets from anything in your library: PDFs, YouTube videos and podcast episodes through their transcripts, articles, newsletters, and your own notes. Choose up to five at a time, or a collection or focus area. Captures of live sessions aren’t included for now.

A study guide, called a review guide in the app, is for getting the ideas back: it explains them, shows how they connect, and can test you on them. A cheat sheet is for having them in front of you while you work, on one compact page you can keep open.

A guide draws on up to five resources at a time, reading each one’s summary and the first part of its text. For a long course, pick the lessons that matter most for what you need, or make a guide for each part.

It’s written from the resources you choose, and every citation is checked against them before the guide is saved. If a citation doesn’t check out, the guide isn’t saved and you aren’t charged. When it adds an example of its own to make an idea clearer, it labels it as one.

Ask for changes in chat, like a shorter version or more on one idea, and Bettership writes a new version while the current one stays readable. You can also rename, favorite, or archive it from your Materials page.

A cheat sheet uses one credit and a review guide uses two, charged only once it’s finished. Guides a practice playbook prepares for you are free, and reading, reviewing, and talking them over never use credits. A new version you ask for uses credits again. Every plan can make them. See pricing

NotebookLM is good at answering questions about the sources you add to a notebook, and it can make a study guide from them. Bettership writes guides for a purpose you name, from the library you build up over time, and puts them into your week’s practice beside the exercises they support.

Keep what you learned within reach

Pick a course or a few episodes you’ll need again soon, and tell Bettership what the guide should help with.
