FAQs

How is Akono different from ChatGPT for studying?

Unlike ChatGPT, which is a generalist, Akono is built specifically for studying. It transforms your course materials into structured tutor sessions, tracks your understanding across concepts, and adapts based on your struggles, proactively asking you questions rather than you asking it.

Is it safe to upload university materials to Akono?

Yes, your uploaded materials are stored privately in your account and used only to generate and support your courses. They are never shared with other users or used to train AI models. Deleting a course or account permanently removes your documents within 30 days.

What subjects does Akono work best for?

Akono is most effective for text-based subjects like law, business, social sciences, psychology, and history. Biology and other content-heavy sciences also work well. It is not ideal for math-heavy subjects like pure mathematics or physics, but can assist with conceptual aspects.

What are the different study modes available in Akono?

Akono uses a mix of quick recall rounds, error-spotting exercises, guided problem-solving, and layered follow-up questions. It selects the appropriate mix based on your progress, but you can also choose your preferred modes.

How does Akono determine what I should study next?

Akono tracks your understanding at a granular level, identifying specific concepts you're solid on versus those you're confusing. It prioritizes your weakest areas, reintroduces material at optimal times, and tracks misunderstandings until they are fully resolved.

What is the pricing for Akono after the free trial?

After your first free course and tutor session, Akono costs €8.99/week, €14.99/month, or €89/year (approximately €7.42/month). All plans offer the same full access, and you can cancel anytime.
