Snapshot

Field	Value
Status	Active (uptime monitors green May–Sep 2026)
Origin	Mindgrasp AI (indie edtech, US-based), public since ~2023

Features (table)

Layer	Capability	Notes
Ingestion	Upload PDF/DOCX/PPTX/TXT/MP3/MP4, paste YouTube/Vimeo/web, live record lecture (browser/iOS)	YouTube uses transcript; auto-caption lectures degrade STEM accuracy
Notes & summary	Auto notes, abstractive summary, per-section breakdown, focused reading mode	Strong on clean text, weak on diagrams/charts/scan pages
Flashcards	Auto flashcards from any doc, spaced-repetition style, session checklist	Most-praised feature in reviews
Quizzes	MCQ generator from uploaded material, answer-keyed	Educator use: quiz-from-video-module
AI Tutor	24/7 Q&A over uploaded content + web, cited answers, 20+ language translation of materials	Not a general chatbot — grounded on your library
Math	AI Math Expert (Scholar+): step-by-step math/physics explanations
Capture	Chrome extension (Canvas/Blackboard/Panopto), iOS app, live recording 5–10 hr/mo (plan-gated)	Android: no native app, mobile web only
Accessibility	ADHD/dyslexia-friendly reading, 24/7 tutor, translation
No	No free tier (4-day trial w/ card only), no team/seat pricing, no API for devs, no diagram/OCR-strong visual parsing	Scope = consumer study, not LLM eval/obs

Reviews (2026)

Source	Signal
ToolChase 4.3/5, Fast.io 2026 test	Core product praised: text/pdf/lecture→notes/flashcards saves hours, Scholar tier best value, multi-format ingestion best-in-class for students
Trustpilot (US 2.0/5, UK 2.3/5, 165+ sampled)	Billing is the trust killer: 4-day trial auto-charges $57–$ 107 annual if not cancelled (7-step cancel flow), some charges post-cancellation, support response uneven. Product itself rated higher than billing experience
Fast.io accuracy test	Clean text = good, clear audio = ok, diagrams/charts/scan pages = weak (misreads cell diagrams, circuit diagrams, organic structures); YouTube notes fail silently on bad auto-captions
Aggregate	Best for lecture/text-heavy courses (humanities, bio text, law, business). Weak for visual STEM (ochem, circuits, geometry proofs from images)

Praised: flashcard quality, multi-format ingest, Scholar LMS extension, focused-reading mode. Complained: no free tier, trial auto-bill, 5–10 hr recording caps, visual parsing, no API, Android gap.

Access / Integration (table)

Method	Supported
Web	mindgrasp.ai app (browser)
Mobile	iOS app (iPhone/iPad); Android = mobile web only
Browser	Chrome extension (Canvas, Blackboard, Panopto)
Inputs	Upload, YouTube/Vimeo URL, paste article, live mic record
Export	Study sessions, flashcards, quizzes in-app (no API, no LMS-grade LTI)
No	No developer API, no MCP, no CI, no SSO/edu-roster sync

Best For / Not For

Best For	Not For
College/grad students drowning in PDFs + lectures + YouTube	Free-tier seekers (→ Knowt/Anki/Quizlet free)
Humanities/social-science/business/law reading-heavy courses	Visual STEM (ochem/circuits/geometry-from-image) — output unreliable
Self-learners processing online courses into flashcards	Teams/classrooms wanting LTI/roster/SSO (→ StudyFetch/Knowt Edu)
Educators making quizzes from video modules	Dev/eval/obs use (wrong lane entirely)
ADHD/dyslexia users wanting grounded tutor + translation	Users who forget to cancel trials (billing trap)

Competitors (lane map)

Lane	Tool	Mindgrasp edge / gap
AI study gen	Knowt, StudyFetch, Quizlet (AI), Scholarcy	Knowt has free AI flashcards; Mindgrasp multi-modal ingest + live record stronger, but no free tier
Flashcard OSS	Anki	Anki free/OSS/spaced-rep gold standard; Mindgrasp auto-gen convenience, weaker SRS control
Note summarizer	ChatGPT/Claude + file upload	General LLMs cheaper per-use; Mindgrasp wraps study workflow (flashcards/quizzes/tutor)
Lecture capture	Otter.ai, Whisper-based note tools	Otter transcribes better; Mindgrasp adds flashcards/quizzes on top
Edu agent	Khanmigo (Khan), Google Gemini guided learning	Khanmigo pedagogically safer; Mindgrasp faster ingest→study pack
In-list overlap	Socratic (shutdown→Lens), none of Dev/Audio/Video set	Edu lane only
