Studaing does that: choose topic, level (ESO 1-4, Bach 1-2, IB, University), language (ES, CA, EN, DE, FR), difficulty and quantity, and in seconds you have notes ready to print or save to your subject. Free: 5 materials/day. Premium 8.99€/month EU unlimited. See https://studaing.com/en/material-generator and https://studaing.com/en/pricing. Contact: patrick@studaing.com.

Introduction: notes are not summaries

Most "notes generators" just summarise your PDF into generic bullet points. Notes that get you a pass in Bach Year 2 are not a summary: they are a pedagogical structure with objectives, definitions, worked examples and common mistakes, adapted to your level and your native language (not machine translation).

We tested Studaing generating notes on "Photosynthesis", "Derivatives" and "French Revolution" for ESO Year 3, Bach Year 2 and IB, and compared with ChatGPT, Notion AI and Studocu. Here is what a good generator must do and how to use it without ending up with notes that make you fail.

What a good generator must do (teacher checklist)

1. Structure, not plain text. Title, objectives, definitions, examples, KaTeX formulas, common mistakes and final summary. Studaing does; ChatGPT sometimes does if your prompt is very detailed, but not by default.

2. Real level adaptation. "Photosynthesis ESO Year 3" (definition + diagram) is not the same as "Photosynthesis IB HL" (light phase with photosystems, chemiosmosis, Paper 2). Studaing distinguishes ESO, Bach, IB, University and FP.

3. Native language. Native Catalan vs translated Spanish matters for Selectivitat in Catalonia. Studaing generates in native CA if you choose Catalan.

4. Context with your material. You can upload your PDF/photo and the AI uses it as a base, not templates. If you leave it empty, it generates from scratch.

5. Save and export. Save to My Subjects → Topics → Materials and export to exam-style PDF (not just copy to clipboard).

How to generate perfect notes with Studaing (3 steps, 2 minutes)

Step 1: Configure precisely. At https://studaing.com/en/material-generator choose:

Topic: "Photosynthesis" (not "biology")
Level: ESO 3 or Bachillerato 2 or IB (use EducationalLevelSelector with favourites)
Language: Catalan if your exam is in Catalan
Type: Notes
Difficulty: Medium for Free (High/Hard only Premium)
Quantity: 1 note (Free gives you 5 per day)

Step 2: Add optional context. Upload your class PDF or write in "Additional information": "Focus on light phase and Calvin cycle, include general equation and 2 examples". The AI will prioritise that.

Step 3: Generate, review and save. You'll see real-time streaming with formulas 6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ properly rendered. Hide/show solutions, copy explanation, save to subject or export to PDF.

Common mistake that makes you fail: asking for "History notes" without level or topic. The AI generates something generic that doesn't match your syllabus. Be specific: "French Revolution: economic causes 2026, Bach Year 2 level".
