Lurner vs TikoNote

Lurner is a study notebook that records lectures, tidies notes and builds quizzes and flashcards, with answers tied back to the material a student uploads.

TikoNote converts study material such as PDFs, slides, recordings and YouTube videos into flashcards, mind maps, quizzes and structured notes for exam revision.

About Lurner

Lurner is an AI notebook aimed mainly at students, though the site also mentions professional meetings and knowledge work. Users record a lecture or jot rough thoughts, and Lurner transcribes and organises them into formatted notes. Slides, PDFs, videos and articles can be added as sources, and questions about them return answers that cite the exact page or timestamp. Notes can then be turned into flashcards, fill in the blank drills and quizzes for active revision, and a drafting helper assists with essays and rewording while staying tied to the sources. The service is free to start, but paid plans are not described on the homepage. Mobile apps are listed as coming soon.
