The Night Before Your Exam?

We've been there. That's why we built this.

📚

Your Textbook, Your Study Guide

We read YOUR 500+ page textbook so you don't have to. Key concepts, formulas, definitions, and diagrams pulled directly from your course material.

🎯

Practice Questions From YOUR Sources

Every question generated directly from your uploaded textbooks and notes. Study exactly what you need.

Less Effort, Same Results

Upload once, study forever. We handle the busy work: extracting key concepts, creating flashcards, building practice tests, so you can focus on actually learning.

Rote Memorization Fails in STEM.
Structure Wins.

Built by engineers who know that memorizing definitions won't help you solve Calculus problems. We provide the complete structure.

Structured Mind Maps (The Big Picture)
Adaptive Quizzes (The Logic)
Smart Flashcards (The Terms)
All Generated from YOUR Files

See It In Action

QUESTION

What is the First Law of Thermodynamics?

📖 Cengel, Thermodynamics Ch.2
ANSWER

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another. The total energy of an isolated system remains constant.

OUR MANIFESTO

Understanding > Memorization

The modern university is broken. You're drowning in PDFs, lectures, and noise. Tools like ChatGPT give you easy answers, but they rob you of understanding.

We built Aether to be the Anti-Chatbot. We don't guess. We don't hallucinate. We force the AI to read your book—page by page, line by line—and cite everything.

We're here to help you master the material, not just pass the test.

Built For Your Major

Whether you're deriving equations or analyzing reaction mechanisms, we've got you covered.

For Engineers

Stop grepping through API docs and physics textbooks. Upload your source material and get code snippets, formulas, and derivations that actually work. From thermodynamics to data structures.

For Med Students

Turn Harrison's Principles into active recall flashcards instantly. Cross-reference pathology with pharmacology. Don't just read—memorize what matters for boards.

For Researchers

Synthesize 50 papers in minutes. Find the contradictions. Spot the gaps in the literature. Draft the review with properly cited sources from your entire library.

THE NEURAL INTERFACE

Build Your Second Brain.

Your brain doesn't learn in lists. Neither should your AI.

🔗

Automatic Linking

Upload Cell Biology. Then upload Organic Chemistry. We instantly draw lines connecting "Enzymes" in one book to "Catalysts" in the other.

🌌

Grow Your Galaxy

Start with a single node. End the semester with a massive, interconnected constellation of your entire degree.

🚀

Visual Navigation

Stop searching for filenames. Fly through concepts.

DEEP TECH ARCHITECTURE

Tunnel Vision: Solved.

We don't just find the word. We find the meaning.

❌ THE PROBLEM

You ask about "ATP." Standard AI reads one sentence definition and calls it a day.

✅ THE AETHER FIX

Our Parent-Child Retrieval Engine finds the definition, then zooms out to read the surrounding 5 pages. It sees the diagrams, the exceptions, and the real-world examples.

🎯 Result: Answers that understand Why, not just What.

🛡️ Your Data Stays Yours

Questions?

Here's what students usually ask.

Why not just use ChatGPT or Gemini?
AI chatbots summarize one document at a time and forget context. We synthesize your entire course, including multiple textbooks and notes, with citations to every source.
Quizlet uses generic content made by strangers. We generate flashcards and tests directly from YOUR textbooks and notes. Exactly what's on YOUR exam.
Notion AI is great for notes but doesn't understand textbooks. We're built specifically for STEM, handling equations, diagrams, and technical content properly.
Yes! Even that terrible scan from 2003 works. We handle OCR and messy formatting automatically.
100%. Your files are encrypted, never shared, and you can delete anytime.
