How Tablo Works

Tablo is the AI study partner that thinks with you, not for you. Watch our walkthrough and explore the learning features below.

Key Learning Features

Dynamic Study Spaces

Organize your studies cleanly by creating isolated spaces for separate classes or topics. When setting up, you can enter an optional **Learning Goal** to guide the tutor. If you choose to leave it blank, the AI will welcome you and ask what you want to cover to ensure custom guidance.

Global Library & Indexing

Upload your textbooks and lecture notes once, and they are saved in your **Global Library** to be attached to any space. To keep indexing costs low, choose the exact page ranges you want to study. Indexing is a **one-time setup**—pages are only billed once, and reuse across multiple spaces is free.

Socratic AI & Whiteboard Vision

Tablo uses a Socratic approach—asking guiding questions rather than spoon-feeding answers. The AI features full **Board Vision** (seeing what you sketch) and **Board Action** (drawing flowcharts, diagrams, and writing on the board in real-time) through both text chat and voice streams.

Live Voice & Simple Billing

Speak naturally with your tutor via low-latency WebRTC voice. Tutoring seconds are charged on a pay-as-you-go basis ($9.99 for 1 Hour of voice + 100 pages). To keep pricing completely fair, **your balance freezes during connection setup**—you are only charged when the voice connection is active.

Flowmodoro Focus Timer

Flowmodoro tracks your natural focus state. Study as long as you're in the zone, and you will accumulate proportional rest periods. Remember the **10-minute rule**: you must study for a block of at least 10 minutes to accumulate rest time—stopping early resets the timer to build focus habits.

FSRS Spaced Repetition

Turn on Spaced Repetition tracking on any whiteboard. Rate your memory recall (Again, Hard, Good, Easy) at the end of a session to schedule your next review slot. You can also specify an **Exam Date** to automatically compress intervals, ensuring you master all material before test day.
