Example output

## What this workflow looks like

### Core Hormone Pathways

A good study guide starts by grouping the major control loops so you can see what each hormone does before memorizing edge cases.

- Map the gland, hormone, and target tissue together
- Note where negative feedback acts
- Separate synthesis, release, and action

### Exam-Focused Review

When material is dense, the most useful guide is one that condenses the source into a sequence you can re-read quickly before a quiz or exam.

- Summarize definitions in plain language
- Turn mechanisms into short bullet chains
- Call out common confusion points explicitly

FAQ

## Questions students ask before they try it

What does the free study guide preview include?

It shows the beginning of the generated guide so you can assess structure and usefulness before signing up.

Can I paste text instead of uploading a PDF?

Yes. The study guide generator supports both PDF uploads and pasted text.

Why use a study guide generator instead of a general chatbot?

This flow is scoped to study material generation, so the output is shaped like a guide instead of an open-ended chat answer.
