Students and curious learners, buckle up. In this solo walkthrough, I share my end-to-end AI study workflow, from finding credible sources to locking them into memory, using two free tools you can start with today:

• Perplexity.ai – the research power-house that surfaces sources and cites them.

Key Take-aways

• Context is king: richer prompts = richer answers.
• Audio + active recall beats passive reading.
• The Research, Reading and Revision steps are merging into one AI-assisted loop—and early adopters win.
