Reading, Thinking, Creating – Presto!

AI gets into action here. Presto does its job amazingly quickly – the speed of the Presto build is subject to the length of the text and the density of the topic. Presto usually does all this within 4 to 20 seconds!

Presto discovers the keywords and creates your notes, quiz, flashcards and linked YouTube videos for Premium users.

Saving your Presto

On completion of your Presto creation, click Save to My Library. Then we need a few more details.

Save your Presto

1. Give your Presto a name – the more precise the better!

2. Tags are used to find and further describe the Presto. They are fully flexible and can be anything, separated by commas. If your text was analysed, the Tags will be created for you from keywords extracted from your text.

3. Subject – we have a list of generic subjects. You can use Other and define one yourself.

4. Topic– break the subject down into a logical topic, eg. Biology – Cell Division

5. Grade – align the Presto to a grade level.

A beautiful fully-formed Presto is built for you in seconds, ready to deploy or revise
