Dashboard AI STUDY SHIFU
First-Time Setup

Welcome to AI Study Shifu.
Here's how to get started.

Twelve short steps to get set up — from creating your account to reading your first set of notes, about five minutes — followed by a plain-language rundown of every tool you'll have once you're in.

  1. 1

    Create your account

    Go to www.aistudyshifu.com and tap Start 31-Day Trial (or Register).

    Fill in your full name, email address, and a password — at least 8 characters. Tap Continue →.

  2. 2

    Choose "Student"

    Three role cards appear — Student, Teacher, and School Admin. Tap Student, then Continue →.

  3. 3

    Add your school and Form

    If your school gave you a join code (6 characters), type it in — you'll be linked to your school automatically.

    • No code? Leave the box blank. You can still use everything as an independent student.
    • Select your current Form — Form 1 through Form 4.

    Tap Continue →.

  4. 4

    Pick your subjects

    Optionally choose a career pathway — Shifu will highlight the subjects that usually go with it. Then tap every subject chip you're actually studying this year.

    Tap Continue →.

  5. 5

    Activate your profile

    Check the summary looks right, then tap Activate Profile. You'll land straight on your Dashboard — your 31-day free trial starts running from this moment, every feature unlocked.

  6. 6

    Find your way around the Dashboard

    This is home base. A few things to notice:

    • Core Tools — a grid of everything you can open: Learning Hub, Homework Lens, Content Library, and more.
    • Subscription panel (top right) — shows how many trial days you have left.
    • Recent in Library — jumps you straight back into whatever you were last reading.
  7. 7

    Open Learning Hub and read your first topic

    From the Dashboard, open Learning Hub. Confirm your Form is selected at the top, then tap a subject card to expand its topics.

    Tap a subtopic to open its notes. Each one shows a reading-time estimate, a difficulty rating, and a short table of contents at the top.

    Already know what you're looking for? Use the search box above the subject list — it searches every subject in your Form at once.
  8. 8

    Ask Shifu when something doesn't make sense

    While reading any topic, tap the Ask Shifu bubble in the corner of the screen. Type your question — Shifu answers using the exact notes you're reading, not a generic explanation.

  9. 9

    Stuck on homework? Try Homework Lens

    Open Homework Lens from the Dashboard. Three ways to ask:

    • Type your question directly into the box.
    • Tap the camera icon and photograph the actual assignment.
    • Upload a photo or PDF already saved on your device.

    Shifu walks through the answer step by step rather than just handing over the result.

  10. 10

    Save a topic for offline study

    On any notes page, look at the small toolbar along the top. Tap Topic to save just what you're reading, or Subject to save the whole subject. Once downloaded, you can study it without using any data.

  11. 11

    Check your Mistake Bank

    Any question you get wrong in a quiz or test is saved automatically. A small red badge appears on the subject card showing how many are still open — tap it to review and retry those exact questions until you've got them.

  12. 12

    Know your trial

    You have 31 days with every feature unlocked — no card needed to start. After that, plans are affordable and pay straight from a phone.

Every Tool, Explained

Not a sequence — dip into whichever of these is useful, whenever it's useful. Everything below lives on your Dashboard.

Learning Hub where you'll spend most of your time

Beyond just reading notes, the toolbar at the top of any topic has a few things worth knowing:

  • Normal / Study / Present — three reading modes. Study strips away distraction for focused revision; Present is built for showing notes on a bigger screen.
  • A− / A+ — shrink or enlarge the text size, saved for the rest of your session.
  • In this note — a mini table of contents for long topics; tap a heading to jump straight to it.
  • Prev / Next at the bottom — moves to the topic before or after this one, in the order your curriculum actually teaches them, so you can work straight through a subject without going back to the list each time.

If you've got open mistakes tied to the topic you're reading, a banner appears above the notes linking straight to them in Mistake Bank.

Study Planner

Builds a personalised weekly timetable from your actual subjects — weighing which ones need more time (Mathematics and the sciences get more slots than lighter subjects) against your own progress and how close your exams are. Open it when you're not sure what to study next.

Mistake Bank student-only

Every question you get wrong anywhere on the platform is saved here automatically — you never have to add anything yourself.

Get the same mistake right twice in a row and it's marked mastered and cleared. Tap into a subject for a redemption set — a focused batch of up to 10 of your worst-standing mistakes, oldest first — instead of guessing what to revise.

Content Library

The full catalogue of notes across every subject and Form — not just the ones you picked at sign-up. Useful for browsing ahead, checking a subject you're thinking of adding, or looking something up for a friend.

Assessment Studio

Generate your own ECZ-style practice assessment on any subject or topic — a real way to test yourself before a class test or exam rather than just re-reading notes.

Periodic Table

An interactive periodic table for Chemistry — a reference to keep open alongside your notes rather than a separate thing to "complete."

Project Studio student-only

Browse CBC-aligned SBA project ideas, start one in your own workspace under My Projects, and submit it for your teacher's review when it's ready — all from the one place.
