# About StudityAI > StudityAI was built by a student, for students. The mission: stop wasting time on passive re-reading and make active learning effortless. **Website**: https://studity.ai/about ## Our mission Too much study time goes into organising materials rather than understanding them. StudityAI shifts that balance. Upload your lecture PDFs once, and StudityAI handles the organization, quiz generation, flashcard creation, and exam preparation, so you can focus on the part that actually matters: learning. ## Our story StudityAI was founded in 2026 by Leo Blum, a German student frustrated with the gap between how we *should* learn (spaced repetition, active recall, the Feynman technique) and how we *actually* learn (re-reading PDFs the night before an exam). Existing tools were either too general (ChatGPT), too narrow (Quizlet), too complex (Anki), or too expensive (private tutors). StudityAI is the tool Leo wished he had: one platform that turns any lecture material into interactive learning, built around spaced repetition and active recall, with a permanently free tier so no student is priced out. ## Values - **Student-first**: every feature is designed for students, not enterprises. The free tier is genuinely useful, not a crippled trial. - **Learning science, not AI hype**: the review mechanics follow the testing-effect literature (Roediger & Karpicke, 2006). Features are built around retrieval practice and spaced repetition. - **Privacy by design**: account and database in London (UK), files with Cloudflare R2, no training on user data, deletable on request. Google keeps AI requests for up to 55 days to detect abuse. AI requests are processed by Google's Gemini API. - **Transparent pricing**: no hidden fees, no credit card for the free tier, prices incl. 19% VAT, monthly plan cancellable monthly, 6/12-month plans with a minimum term. - **European**: founded in Germany, database in London (UK), built for the European student experience first. ## Team - **Leo Blum**, Founder. German computer science student. Built StudityAI solo from 2026 onwards.
