What you get
Everything a hard paper needs, in one place
Structured Learning reads the paper with you: it explains, derives, implements and quizzes, and every answer points back to the original text.

Explanations
Chapter-by-chapter explanations you can check
Structured Learning reads the whole paper, plans a course, and explains it one chapter at a time in plain language, from the motivation to the core method and the results.
Optional teaching figures generated for every chapter
Citations link each passage to the page, figure, table or equation it came from
Continue reading picks up at the chapter where you stopped

Equations
Equations, one step at a time
Open any equation for a guided walkthrough. It is expanded step by step, every symbol is defined, and each step says what changed and why.
Every symbol and dimension explained

Code
Code that builds up step by step
See the paper’s method implemented incrementally. Each step adds a few lines to the last one, so you understand the code instead of copying it.
Implementations that grow one step at a time
Flashcards and comprehension checks to test what you learned

Knowledge map
One map of everything you read
Every paper you add joins a knowledge map that links concepts across papers and fields, so you can see how ideas connect and where a new paper fits.

Learning plans
A study plan built around your goal
Tell a short interview what you want to learn. It checks what you already know, then lays out the concepts to study in order, each with the papers that teach it.
Concepts you already know are marked as known
Pass a 10-question quiz to finish each concept
Find open-access papers for a concept that has none
Also included
Flashcards & quizzesSpaced repetition and comprehension checks
Audio lessonsListen to any chapter, narrated
Peer reviewsPublic reviews from OpenReview, eLife, PLOS and more
DiscoveryFind papers on arXiv and OpenAlex

How it works
From paper to course in four steps
01
Create an account and connect OpenRouter
Sign up with email or Google, then paste your OpenRouter API key in Settings. It powers every AI feature, and you pick the models.
02
Find or upload a paper
Find papers on arXiv and OpenAlex with Discovery and add them straight to your library, or upload a PDF, Word or LaTeX file up to 50 MB. Choose text-only or illustrated explanations and watch the course take shape chapter by chapter.
03
Build a learning plan
A short interview asks about your goal and checks what you already know, then lays out the concepts to study in order, each with its papers. Generate their explanations, pass a 10-question quiz to finish a concept, or find open-access papers for one that has none.
04
Study your way
Read the explanations, work through equations and code, review flashcards, listen to audio lessons, or ask Teacher anything.
Inside the app, a tutorial and guided tours walk you through every feature.
Transparent AI costs
You bring the AI key. We never mark it up.
Structured Learning doesn’t resell AI. Every model call runs on your own OpenRouter account, so you choose the models and see exactly what each paper costs.

FAQ
Questions, answered
What is OpenRouter, and why do I need a key?
OpenRouter gives you one API key for AI models from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google and many others. Structured Learning runs every AI feature on your own OpenRouter key: you choose the models and pay OpenRouter directly, with no markup from us. Creating an account and a key at openrouter.ai takes a few minutes.
How much does the AI cost per paper?
It depends on the paper’s length and the models you pick, and illustrated explanations cost more than text-only ones. You can set a spending limit in Settings, and the Usage page shows what every run cost.
Which files can I upload?
PDF, Word (DOCX) and LaTeX files up to 50 MB. Scanned PDFs work too: pages without a text layer are read with OCR.
Is there a free trial?
Yes, 7 days, and it’s optional. You enter a payment method when you start and aren’t charged during the trial. Cancel before it ends and you pay nothing; otherwise it renews at $14 USD / month. Each account can use the trial once. If you’d rather skip it, choose Subscribe now: you’re charged today and there is no trial period.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel whenever you like and you won’t be charged again. You keep access until the end of the period you already paid for.
What is your refund policy?
If Structured Learning isn’t right for you, ask for a refund within 14 days of a payment. The Refund Policy has the details.
Who can see my papers?
Only you. Your library is private to your account. To explain a paper, its text is sent to the AI models you choose through your OpenRouter account. The Privacy Policy explains what we store and why.
Who handles payments?
Our order process is conducted by our online reseller Paddle.com. Paddle.com is the Merchant of Record for all our orders: it handles checkout, payment security, sales tax and invoices, and answers billing questions. Your card statement will show a charge from PADDLE.NET.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Structured Learning runs in your browser on a computer, tablet or phone.
