Lecture Notes + Oral Exam Prep
Structured Notes, Then Practice Questions You Answer Out Loud.
A written summary you re-read is recognition practice — an oral exam tests recall. Get structured notes from a lecture or draft with @vustSummaryBot, then turn the same topic into practice questions with @vustStudyBot and self-test by answering out loud before checking.
Two bots, split
SummaryBot writes the notes; StudyBot writes the questions
There's no single button that runs both in sequence — get your notes from @vustSummaryBot, then open @vustStudyBot and name the topic to get practice questions with explanations. You do that step yourself — nothing happens behind the scenes — and it takes a few seconds.
See the difference
Re-reading notes builds recognition. Answering practice questions out loud builds recall — the skill an oral exam tests.
Two bots, one prep flow: notes, then self-test
- Students facing an oral defense
- A written VKR-style defense is being swapped for an oral exam, and reading notes back isn't the same skill as answering out loud.
- SummaryBot turns the lecture or draft into structured notes; StudyBot turns those notes into practice questions you answer out loud before the real exam.
- Lecture-heavy courses
- Long recorded lectures pile up faster than you can re-watch them before an oral check.
- Paste the transcript or a YouTube link into SummaryBot for a structured recap, then self-test the same material in StudyBot.
- Supervisors and reviewers
- You want your student to explain the work, not read a script.
- Practice questions built from the notes exercise recall and explanation, not memorized paragraphs.
From lecture to oral-defense practice
- 01
Get structured notes from SummaryBot
Paste a lecture transcript, a YouTube link with captions, or draft/thesis text. You get thesis, key points, and conclusions back — not a wall of text.
- 02
Turn the notes into practice questions in StudyBot
Name the topic from your notes; StudyBot gives you practice questions and explanations so you retrieve the answer, not read it.
- 03
Answer out loud, then check
Active recall — answering before checking — is what an oral exam actually tests. Repeat on the weak spots.
Notes first, then self-test
Open @vustSummaryBot for structured notes from your lecture or draft, then open @vustStudyBot to turn the topic into oral-defense-style practice questions.
What's live
Two separate bots, not one combined flow
SummaryBot produces the notes; StudyBot produces the practice questions. There's no single button that does both — you copy the topic across, which takes a few extra seconds but keeps each bot doing the job it's built for.
Self-testing, not answer-copying
This is a rehearsal aid: practice questions with explanations, built for retrieval practice before you speak in your own words. It is not a way to generate or submit AI-written thesis content — reported proposals in Russian higher education to move toward oral exams are partly a response to exactly that kind of misuse.
Transcript-based, same limits as summarization generally
SummaryBot needs actual text to work from — a transcript, captions, or pasted draft text. It doesn't watch a video or listen to audio directly, so a lecture with no captions and no notes has nothing to summarize.
Frequently asked questions
Does this replace writing my thesis or diploma text?
No. SummaryBot condenses source material you give it (a lecture transcript, or your own draft) into notes; StudyBot turns a topic into practice questions you answer yourself. Neither is built to draft your submitted thesis text for you, and using this flow to generate content you'd submit as your own written work is not what it's for.
Why do I need two bots instead of one?
SummaryBot and StudyBot are tuned for different jobs — accurate condensing versus question generation — and keeping them separate means each one is actually good at its one job. You copy a topic or key point from the notes into StudyBot, which takes a few seconds.
Is the Russian oral-exam reform actually confirmed law?
As of mid-2026, no single nationwide reform text has been confirmed — proposals and discussions in Russian higher education about moving away from purely written diploma defenses toward oral formats, partly as a response to AI-written coursework, are ongoing rather than settled. This page is built around a durable underlying skill (oral recall) rather than any specific final rule.
Can StudyBot generate questions directly from my lecture transcript?
You give StudyBot a topic or text and it builds practice questions and explanations from that input — so pasting a key section of your notes works, though it isn't a single click that pulls automatically from whatever you just summarized in SummaryBot.
Will the practice questions match my exact oral exam format?
For students prepping for a specific national exam system, @vustStudyBot's dedicated exam-format practice recognizes systems like ЕГЭ/ОГЭ, JEE/NEET and others from your curriculum profile. This lecture-to-practice flow is broader — general active-recall practice questions from any topic or lecture, not tied to one national exam's format.
Does this work for a lecture without captions or a transcript?
SummaryBot needs actual text to work from. If a lecture has no captions, no transcript, and you don't have written notes to paste, there's nothing for it to summarize — this flow starts from text, not from watching or listening to a video directly.
