The idea behind OCTO

Your study materials.
Connected in one place.

01 / The first release

Four tools.One place to start.

Our planned first version brings these four study tools into one workspace. A simple foundation to build on.

01 / Practise

Flashcards

Create flashcards from your study materials and practise by testing yourself.

02 / Annotate

PDF editor

Work directly in your course PDFs, within the same study workspace.

03 / Summarise

Summary tool

Turn course content into clear, organised summaries with a simple tool designed for students.

04 / Connect

Mindmap tool

Map the connections in your material. Hide information with occlusion to test what you remember.

These four tools define the MVP. The features below are planned for later.

02 / Beyond the first release

What we wantto add.

More ways to organise, practise and keep going. This is the direction we want to explore after the MVP, without fixed release dates.

Built around your studies

A workspace that
grows with you.

From the way you arrange your materials to the way you plan your next study session.

Your workspace

Personal dashboard: Choose which tools you see, starting with layouts tailored to your answers during onboarding.
Split screen: Use two or three panels side by side, with 50/50 or 33/33/33 layouts. Keep your course material and summary together.

Your study routine

Dynamic exam planner: A daily plan towards your exam, with tasks, estimated study time and reminders. It adapts when your progress changes.
Blurting: Write down what you remember, compare it with your material and find what you still need to practise.

Everyday support

OCTO AI: Optional guidance as you study. We plan to let you connect your own model or use OCTO AI through a subscription.
App, sync & widgets: Continue across devices and sync when you have an internet connection. Keep material and progress close with widgets.

Learning together

Community: Share your own study materials with students learning the same subject and build on each other’s work.
Institution integrations: Bring course material into OCTO from a learning platform such as Ufora. A proposed integration, with no existing partnership claimed.

03 / Our education ambitions

A place to learn.Throughout your education.

We want OCTO to become your regular study workspace. A place where you learn how to study effectively and put it into practice every day.

First / Students

Start with
students.

Begin at universities and colleges. Build a workspace students choose for themselves because it makes studying easier.

Next / More learning paths

Adapt to every
level of education.

Extend to secondary education and other learning paths. More guidance and playful support where needed; more independence where it fits.

Long term / Institutions

Make access part
of education.

Our goal is for education providers to cover the cost through licences and integrations, so students can use OCTO without paying themselves.

FAQs

A little more about
our vision

Which tools are planned for the first release?

Our planned first version brings together flashcards, a PDF editor, a summary tool and mindmaps with occlusion, so you can hide information to test yourself. These four tools form the foundation of the OCTO study workspace.

When will the other features arrive?

Split screen, the exam planner, OCTO AI, community features and the other additions on this page are planned for after the first release. There are no fixed release dates yet. Join the waitlist to follow our progress.

Is OCTO only for university students?

We are starting with students at universities and colleges. Over time, we want to support secondary education and other learning paths, adapting the balance of guidance, playful support and independence to different learners.

Could my school or university provide OCTO?

Our long-term goal is for education providers to cover the cost through licences and integrations with their learning platforms, so students can use OCTO without paying themselves. This is an ambition still to develop; institution integrations such as Ufora are proposals.
