Stuck on a concept, a problem set or a long reading? Ask SelGPT to explain it step by step, quiz you on it, or turn your notes into a revision plan.

> Students use SelGPT to understand difficult topics, work through problems step by step, summarise readings and plan revision. The Free plan includes Sel-Vega with about 50 messages a month and no ads. For maths and multi-step problems, Sel-Rigel in Plus works through each step before it answers.

## Ways to study with it

- Ask it to explain a topic as if you were new to it, then go deeper.
- Paste your working and ask where it went wrong.
- Upload lecture notes or a reading and ask for the key points.
- Ask it to quiz you, one question at a time.
- Turn an exam date and a syllabus into a weekly study plan.

Follow your school’s rules on AI use, and use SelGPT to learn the material rather than to hand in its words as your own.
