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.

About topin

topin is an online test preparation platform covering the GRE, TOEFL iBT, IELTS Academic, GMAT Focus Edition and Digital SAT from one account. Each exam has its own interactive lessons, section drills and full length mocks that are timed and scored on the official scale. Every answer is logged by topic and time, and the tracker sorts topics by how much they hurt the score, which becomes the study plan. Students can redo only missed questions and compare trends across several mocks. The suggested loop is to take a diagnostic, find weak areas, practice them and retake. One full mock per exam is free, and passes start at 799 INR.
