Master the Feynman Technique — Then Lock In the Knowledge
Feynman AI focuses on a single technique. TikoNote combines Feynman sessions, Blurting, spaced repetition flashcards, and mind maps — from your own lecture files.

Upload Any File Format
Feynman AI works mainly with text inputs. TikoNote accepts PDFs, audio recordings, YouTube links, and images — study from your actual lecture slides, not manually typed notes.
Visual Mind Maps Included
Feynman AI has no visual mapping. TikoNote auto-generates interactive mind maps from your content, showing connections between concepts before you start drilling.
Spaced Repetition After Every Session
After your Feynman session, TikoNote's SRS flashcard system schedules reviews at optimal intervals — locking in retention that a single teaching session alone cannot achieve.
True Understanding Requires More Than One Technique
Both tools champion deep understanding. But learning science shows that the Feynman Technique alone is step one — not the finish line. After teaching a concept back, you still need to test your recall over time to prevent forgetting. TikoNote builds that complete system.
The Full Learning Cycle in TikoNote
- Upload: Drop in your lecture PDF, audio recording, or YouTube link.
- Understand: Run a Feynman AI tutor session — explain the topic simply, get challenged on gaps.
- Test Recall: Blurt everything you know, scored by AI concept-by-concept.
- Drill Gaps: Spaced repetition flashcards focus on exactly what you got wrong.
- Review: Auto-generated mind map shows how all concepts connect.

The Verdict
If you love the Feynman method, TikoNote delivers it — plus Blurting, spaced repetition, mind maps, and quiz generation from your actual course files. It's the Feynman technique, plus everything you need to actually retain it long-term.
"I tried Feynman AI for my physics course but it only worked with text I typed in. With TikoNote I upload my lecture slides, run a Feynman session, then Blurt everything I know. The mind map shows me which parts I'm still fuzzy on. My exam scores went from C+ to A-.
