Go Beyond Just Chatting
Don't just chat with your PDF—learn from it. TikoNote turns PDFs into active recall flashcards, mind maps, and quizzes automatically.
Chatting isn't Studying
ChatPDF is great for finding quick answers, but for deep learning, you need structured materials. TikoNote takes that same PDF and instantly builds a full study kit: summary, quiz, and flashcards.
One File vs. Whole Course
ChatPDF typically handles one PDF at a time. TikoNote allows you to upload an entire course worth of lectures, readings, and videos, and study them all together.
Pros & Cons
TikoNote Pros
- Multi-file support
- Audio/Video support (not just PDF)
- Auto-generates Flashcards/Quizzes

ChatPDF Cons
- PDF Only (no video/audio)
- No native study modes
- Limited context window
- Pay-per-file model often
The Verdict
If you need to find one sentence in a 100-page contract, use ChatPDF. If you need to learn the content of a textbook chapter, use TikoNote.
