Learning & Study

Course notes, study plans, and research — your second brain for any subject.

About this template

A workspace for serious study. Organize courses, keep running notes per topic, and build a library of the resources you return to. Plank can summarize, quiz you, or help you synthesize across notes — all grounded in what you've actually read.

What's included

  • One folder per course with progress tracking
  • Living notes organized by topic, not by date
  • Resource library with annotated links
  • AI tutor that knows what you've covered and what's next
  • Weekly review prompts to keep material fresh

What Plank handles

The everyday jobs this workspace hands off to Plank — you review the finished work, not the busywork.

  • Takes notes on materials

    Reads an article, video, or book chapter and returns a short summary with the key ideas and examples — no need to stop and write it down.

    "Summarize this pandas lecture"
  • Builds a study plan

    From your goal and free time it builds a realistic weekly program: what to study, in what order, and how many minutes a day.

    "Make a plan to finish the Python course by August 15"
  • Reminds you of deadlines

    Tracks course deadlines and warns you ahead of time about what is urgent — nothing overdue slips past.

    "What do I need to finish this week?"
  • Makes flashcards for review

    Turns a summary into a set of question-and-answer cards for spaced repetition, so what you learn sticks for the long run.

    "Make flashcards for the financial modeling terms"
  • Wraps up your week

    Counts hours, your day streak, and course progress, notes where the rhythm dipped, and suggests a focus for next week.

    "Wrap up my study week"
  • Answers questions on the topic

    Explains the tricky parts in simple words and walks through examples — a personal tutor for any of your courses.

    "Explain the difference between merge and join in pandas"
