Lecture Explainer: AI tutor for your lecture slides
Upload a university lecture PDF. MimWise teaches page by page with voice narration, diagrams and practice, not a wall of chat text.
How it works
Upload PDF or PowerPoint — teaching starts immediately. No prompt engineering.
Step 1 Upload your lecture PDF or PPTX (STEM decks work best).
Step 2 Jump to the slide you do not understand.
Step 3 Listen and watch a guided explanation tied to that page.
Step 4 Practice with questions while context is fresh.
Cold start vs summary tools: NotebookLM, Mindgrasp, and similar tools excel at summaries and notes. MimWise takes you deeper on each slide — voice, diagrams, and practice — when one dense page blocks the rest of the chapter. From £5/mo (vs ~£50/mo on weekly tutor apps like Studdy).
Who it is for
Built for students who study alone with dense slide decks.
Questions about MimWise
What it is, who it is for, and how lecture PDFs become lessons and quizzes.
Is Lecture Explainer good for exam revision?
Yes. It is built for exam-season revision when one dense slide blocks the rest of the chapter. You can replay explanations, then practice with Instacram quiz rounds from the same PDF.
Do I need an account to try it?
No. Guest Mode lets you open Lecture Explainer in your browser without signing up. Create a free Learner Beta account for saved progress and higher limits.
How is this different from ChatGPT for lecture slides?
ChatGPT answers in a chat box. Lecture Explainer teaches from your actual PDF page by page with narration synced to each slide—not a generic summary detached from your professor's deck.
What file types work?
PDF and PowerPoint (PPTX) uploads work best for STEM lecture decks. Try the sample Physics 101 deck from the homepage if you want to explore first.
