PageLM

What it does

Feeds textbooks, notes and documents through an AI to produce summaries, practice questions and flashcards — shifting revision from rereading to retrieval, which is the part that actually works. Self-hosted. Generated answers contain errors, including confidently marking as correct things the source never said, so check against the original before trusting a practice set. The licence text describes a dual arrangement where commercial use is paid.

PageLM FAQ

Is PageLM free?

PageLM itself is free, but it needs an API key for an external AI service. That service charges separately, though some have a free tier.

Do I need to install anything or write code to use PageLM?

It needs the command line. If you are not comfortable typing commands, expect to get stuck during setup.

Does PageLM work on a phone?

No. It needs a computer.

Can I use PageLM commercially?

The project does not state a clear licence, so commercial use cannot be confirmed here. Check the official page or ask the author before using it at work.
