To use Study mode, you can choose a subject (like biology, history or statistics), set your level of knowledge (beginner, intermediate or advanced) and even tell the AI how you want to study such as with flashcards, Q&A, breakdowns of concepts or practice problems.

OpenAI’s new study mode for ChatGPT throws questions back at students, but the learning feature doesn’t address generative AI’s underlying disruption of education.

In building Study Mode, OpenAI said it was inspired by "power users" who were already trying to adapt ChatGPT into a personal tutor or test prep tool via specific sets of prompts. Through Study Mode, OpenAI says it hopes to give less technically minded users the ability to access "a personal tutor that never gets tired of their questions."
