A general-purpose AI agent that executes tasks, not just answers them
Give the agent a goal and it plans the steps, chooses tools, and works through the task in a cloud environment without constant supervision.
Produces finished artifacts such as slide decks, functional websites, small games, and formatted documents rather than raw text.
Runs broad, multi-source investigations and compiles the findings into a structured report.
Generates images, video, and music as part of a larger task or as standalone outputs.

Free AI study partner that turns your course material into practice questions, guides and flashcards
Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, images, MP4, MP3, notes or a YouTube link and get study material generated from it — over 90 supported file types.
Thea asks you questions drawn from your own course content instead of revealing answers, so learning happens through active retrieval.
The system tracks what you know and what you do not, then focuses your sessions on the material you have not yet mastered.
Per-kit progress views let you see coverage and weak spots as an exam approaches.
