Getting Started
7 questionsWhat is Maigie?
Maigie (pronounced "my gee") is an intelligent learning environment. Rather than another tool you have to manage, it is one place where learning happens: structured courses, questions answered in context, deliberate exam preparation, and reflection on what is working. Its purpose is to help you continuously develop capability, not just store your study material.
Is Maigie just an AI chatbot?
No. A chatbot waits to be asked, which means it only helps once you already know you are stuck. Maigie is the environment around your learning: it knows the course you are on, what you studied last week, and what is due next, so it can suggest what matters now instead of waiting for a prompt. Ask Maigie is one part of that, not the whole product.
Is Maigie a learning management system?
No. An LMS is built for institutions to administer courses, submissions, and grades. Maigie belongs to you, the learner, and is built to improve how you actually learn: what to study next, what you are forgetting, and how to prepare for what is coming.
Does Maigie replace my teacher or lecturer?
No, and we do not want it to. Teachers provide context, judgement, and encouragement that software cannot. Maigie takes on the repetitive parts of studying so more of your time with a teacher can be spent on the parts only a person can do.
How do I get started with Maigie?
Sign up for free, then tell Maigie what you want to learn. You can say it plainly. For example, "I want to learn Python" or "Help me prepare for my biology exam." Maigie builds a structured course, suggests a plan, and guides you from there.
Do I need to install anything?
No installation required for the web app, just visit maigie.com. For mobile, you can download the iPhone or Android app. Your work is available on every device you sign in to.
Is Maigie free to use?
Yes. The free plan covers courses, notes, flashcards and spaced review, study plans, exam practice and weekly reflections, with a rolling AI usage allowance. Maigie Plus ($9.99/month, 3-day free trial) adds a much larger allowance, live voice study, adaptive practice and plans, and DOCX and PPTX documents. You can also buy a Plus pass instead of subscribing: $0.99 for 5 hours, or $3.99 for 7 days. Prices and allowances are set per country, so the pricing page shows yours.
Core Features
6 questionsHow does AI course generation work?
Tell Maigie what you want to learn and it builds a course with modules, topics, and estimated study times, written for your level. For example, "Create a course on Machine Learning" produces a structured path rather than a wall of material, and lessons are written for each topic as you reach it.
Can I create custom study plans?
Yes. Let Maigie generate a plan from your goals, deadlines, and available time, or build courses and modules yourself. On Maigie Plus, plans are adaptive: they adjust as your quiz results and study patterns change.
How does scheduling work?
Maigie turns your goals and deadlines into study blocks, so you are not deciding what to do each morning. You can connect Google Calendar and your blocks sync into a dedicated Maigie calendar. Maigie Plus adds predictive scheduling and suggestions about the times of day you tend to do your best work.
What is voice study?
A live spoken session with Maigie about the topic you are on, shown in the app as "Study aloud". You talk, Maigie explains, and it can draw diagrams as the conversation goes. If you ask it to, the session leaves a note behind when you finish. Voice study is a Maigie Plus capability and is not part of the free plan. Included minutes depend on your country, so check the pricing page.
How do notes work?
Create notes for any topic or course, with markdown formatting, file attachments, AI summaries, and version history you can restore. Notes link to their course and topic, and you can turn one into flashcards in a click.
What are resource recommendations?
Maigie suggests learning materials for the topic you are working on and scores them by how well they match, with a short reason for each. Anything useful saves to your library.
Use Cases & Benefits
5 questionsWho is Maigie for?
Students (high school, university, postgraduate), people preparing for exams and professional certifications, self-taught learners building a skill, and professionals who need to stay current. If learning matters to you beyond a single deadline, Maigie is built for you.
Can I use Maigie for exam preparation?
Yes, and it is one of the things Maigie is best at. Tell it your exam and date, and Prepare builds a plan with practice quizzes, spaced review, and progress tracking against the topics you are weakest on. Maigie Plus adds adaptive practice that adjusts difficulty as you improve, plus past paper simulation.
How does Maigie help with time management?
It removes the planning overhead. Maigie generates a schedule from your goals and deadlines, keeps a streak so consistency is visible, and sends study reminders to your phone so you do not have to remember to come back. You can connect Google Calendar so study blocks sit alongside the rest of your week.
Can Maigie help with multiple subjects at once?
Yes. Run several courses across different subjects and Maigie tracks each one separately while balancing your schedule across all of them. On the free plan you can create 2 new AI-generated courses each month; Maigie Plus removes that limit.
What makes Maigie different from other study apps?
Most study apps are a single tool that waits for you to use it, which leaves you connecting everything together. Maigie is one environment where the parts share context: what you learn shapes what you practise, what you get wrong shapes what comes back, and your home screen answers what matters now. The difference is not more AI, it is continuity.
AI & Intelligence
5 questionsWhere does the AI actually sit in Maigie?
In the environment rather than in a chat window. The same intelligence that writes a course also shapes your practice, times your reviews, and works out what to put in front of you next. That is deliberate: you should remember Maigie because studying felt easier, not because you were using AI.
Can I ask Maigie to explain topics?
Yes. Ask Maigie about any concept and it can explain it, give examples and analogies, break it down more simply, or go deeper. Because it can see the course and topic you are on, you rarely have to set up the context first.
Does Maigie remember my previous conversations?
Yes. Ask Maigie keeps your conversation history and draws on your courses, notes, and goals, so you can refer back to earlier topics without repeating yourself. Each conversation carries a bounded amount of recent history rather than everything you have ever written.
How accurate is AI-generated content?
Good, but not infallible. Maigie uses current language models and grounds them in your course and materials, which reduces drift. For anything that matters, verify against an authoritative source. Maigie is a learning aid, not a final authority.
Does Maigie adapt to me over time?
Yes. It builds a picture of how you study: consistency, which topics are sticking, and where you keep slipping. On the free plan you see your basic study patterns. Maigie Plus uses that picture more actively, for adaptive practice, predictive scheduling, and stepping in when your consistency drops.
Pricing & Plans
7 questionsWhat's included in the free plan?
Everything Maigie does, at a standard level: notes, flashcards and spaced review, courses, study plans, your schedule, exam practice and weekly reflections. AI usage draws on a 5-hour allowance window that resets on a clock you can see. Two limits worth knowing: 2 new AI-generated courses a month, and no live voice study, which is a Maigie Plus capability.
What does Maigie Plus add?
A much larger AI usage allowance, live voice study, adaptive practice and study plans, past paper simulation, deeper reflections, unlimited course creation, and documents in DOCX and PPTX as well as PDF. In most countries Plus also runs a stronger model for Ask Maigie chat. Voice minutes and the model both depend on your country, so the pricing page shows the exact figures for yours.
How much does Maigie Plus cost?
Maigie Plus is $9.99/month and starts with a 3-day free trial. If you'd rather not subscribe, you can buy a Plus pass instead: $0.99 for 5 hours or $3.99 for 7 days. Prices are set per market, so what you see may differ in your country.
What is a Plus pass?
A pass is Maigie Plus bought once rather than subscribed to. You hold it until you're ready, activate it when you need it, and it runs for its full length, 5 hours or 7 days, then ends. It never renews and never charges you again. Passes suit exam weeks; the subscription is better value if you study continuously.
Can I get more live voice time?
Yes. A 30-minute voice pack is $1.49, and those minutes never expire. They stay yours even if your subscription lapses. The pack tops up an existing Plus entitlement, so you need an active subscription or pass to buy one. Like every price here, it is set per market, so check the pricing page for the figure in your country.
Can I change plans or cancel anytime?
Yes. You can cancel the Maigie Plus subscription anytime from Settings, and it stays active until the end of the period you've paid for. No cancellation fees. Passes need no cancelling. They simply end.
How does the referral program work?
Share your referral link and earn 100 points when someone you refer becomes a real user, specifically once they've studied on 7 different days. Points redeem for passes: 100 for the 5-hour pass, 250 for the 7-day pass. Points last 60 days from when you earn them, and your wallet shows the expiry. Points buy passes only, not the subscription.
Privacy & Security
5 questionsIs my data safe with Maigie?
We use industry-standard encryption in transit and at rest. Your notes, courses, and conversations are private and are never sold or shared with third parties for marketing. Maigie Ltd is UK-registered and we handle personal data in line with GDPR.
Who can see my study data?
Only you. Your courses, notes, goals, and schedules are private to your account, and nothing you write is visible to other learners. AI processing happens through our model providers under agreements that do not allow your content to be used for their own purposes.
Do you use my data to train AI models?
No. Your study content is not used to train models, ours or anyone else's.
Can I get a copy of my data?
Yes. Email privacy@maigie.com and we will put together an export for you. A self-service download in the app is on the roadmap rather than shipped, so we would rather tell you the real route than point you at a button that is not there.
Can I delete my account?
Yes, from Settings. Deleting starts a 90-day window, so you can change your mind: we remind you 30 days and 7 days before the final date, and you can cancel at any point until then. At the end of the window the account is closed and your personal details are removed. If you need your data erased sooner, email privacy@maigie.com and we will handle it directly.
Platform & Availability
4 questionsWhich platforms does Maigie support?
Maigie runs as a web app in any modern browser, and as native apps on iPhone and Android. Sign in on any of them and your courses, notes, and progress are there. Chat, voice study, and notifications are live; other content refreshes when you open or reload a screen.
Can I use Maigie offline?
Partly. AI features need a connection, since the models run in the cloud. On mobile, content you have already opened stays readable for up to a day, so you can revisit a lesson or note on a bad connection. Creating and editing still needs to be online.
Does Maigie work on tablets?
Yes. The web app is fully responsive, and the iOS app runs on iPad. Tablet-specific layouts are not built yet, so an iPad currently gets the phone layout at a larger size.
What browsers are supported?
All modern browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. Voice study needs microphone permission, so allow it when your browser asks.
Technical & Support
6 questionsWhat should I do if I encounter a bug?
Email support@maigie.com with what happened and a screenshot if you have one. Telling us what you were trying to do, not only what broke, usually gets it fixed faster.
How often is Maigie updated?
Regularly, with new capabilities, improvements, and fixes. We announce the notable ones on X at @Maigieteam and on the Maigie blog.
Can I suggest new features?
Please do. Email hello@maigie.com, or bring it to the student community on Discord or Telegram. We prioritise based on what learners keep running into.
Is there a limit on courses or notes I can create?
Notes, goals, flashcards and study plans are unlimited on every plan. Free accounts can create 2 new AI-generated courses each month; Maigie Plus removes that cap. AI usage itself draws on a shared allowance rather than a per-item limit.
How is AI usage measured?
In a 5-hour window rather than a daily quota. The window opens with your first AI action, draws down as you work, and resets once it has run out, on a clock you can see in the app. So you are never waiting for midnight to continue. Maigie Plus has a much larger allowance than free, and the exact figures are set per country.
What happens when I run out of allowance?
Non-AI work carries on as normal: your notes, existing lessons, flashcards, and plans are all still there. AI actions wait for the window to reset, and the app shows when that is. If you need more headroom right away, a Plus pass or the subscription raises the allowance immediately.
