Clamly AI reads your own course material and turns it into practice. Open Clamly AI in the sidebar. The hub leads to three places: AI Tools, AI Chat and Study Pack.

​
Upload a document

  1. Open Clamly AI, then AI Tools.
  2. Drop a file onto the upload area, or click it to browse.
  3. Wait for File uploaded! Your document appears in your upload list, ready to use.
Scanned PDFs that are pictures of pages have no text for Clamly to read. If generation comes back empty, try a PDF where you can select the text.

​
Make a quiz from a document

Under your upload, choose:
  • Questions: between 2 and 50. The default is 10.
  • Difficulty: basic, intermediate or advanced.
  • Question types: multiple choice (MCQ), true or false, or both.
Then choose Generate Quiz. The quiz lands in Quizzes with hints and explanations, and View Quiz takes you straight to it. Want another take on the same document? New Quiz writes a fresh quiz and keeps the old one. Generating a quiz uses 5 AI usage units. Each button shows how many AI usage units it costs before you choose it.

​
Make a flashcard deck

Choose Flashcards under your upload. Clamly AI writes a new deck from the document, about 15 cards, and puts it into spaced repetition straight away. View Deck opens it. A deck uses 4 AI usage units. It always creates a new deck rather than adding to an old one.

​
Highlight the key points

Choose Highlight and Clamly AI picks out the passages that matter most in the document, so you know what to read closely. Highlighting uses 2 AI usage units, once per document.

​
How much of a long document is read

Your plan sets how much of a document generation reads. About 2,000 characters is one dense page. When a document is longer than your plan reads, Clamly tells you in the message that appears after generating, so you always know the result covers part of the file. It never pretends to have read what it did not.
On Free or Starter, split a long document into chapters and upload them separately. Each part is read in full.

​
Delete an upload

The bin icon on an upload deletes it, after you confirm. The file and its search index are erased from Clamly’s storage.
Quizzes, flashcard decks and notes made from the upload are kept, with their attempts and review progress. Only the file itself goes.

​
If something fails

If generation fails partway, the AI usage units it reserved are given back automatically. If a feature says it is temporarily unavailable, it has been paused for everyone for a short while. Check status.clamly.app and try again later.

​
Keep going

Clamly Chat

Ask questions about a document, or why you got something wrong.

Study Pack

One upload becomes linked quizzes, a deck and study notes in one go.
