Study Mode
Study mode is currently available to users in Free, Plus, Pro, and Teams plans globally and will expand to Edu plans in the coming weeks. Study mode works with any model available in ChatGPT on iOS, Android, web, and desktop.

Study mode is a new learning experience in ChatGPT designed to help you build a deeper understanding of any topic. When you turn it on, ChatGPT will ask interactive questions to understand your goals and skill level, then work with you to reach the answer together.

With Study mode enabled, ChatGPT can:

• Guide understanding with Socratic-style questions.
• Break concepts into easy to follow sections starting simple and adding complexity as you progress.
• Personalize responses based on your past chats if memory is on, using examples and tips tailored to you.
• Check your understanding with open-ended prompts and feedback.
• Work with your materials by referencing images or PDFs you upload.

You can enable study mode at any time by selecting Tools in the prompt window and choosing Study and learn from the drop‑down menu or go to chatgpt.com/studymode.

Study mode is powered by custom system instructions and can have some inconsistent behavior and mistakes across conversations. We plan on training this behavior directly into our main models once we’ve learned what works best through iteration and user feedback.
