Sources from the web and documents. Articles, YouTube and PDFs straight into your prep.
The same evening
You have the overview the same evening
Pick what goes in, notes, recordings or a PDF, and get a tidy summary of exactly that. Ask Iver about what you didn’t get.
Automatic summaries. You pick the sources, one by one.

The rest of the week
A little every day, planned for you

The week before the test
You see exactly what’s left
Your readiness score shows how much of your subject’s goals you cover, and the practice exam shows what you still get wrong. So you practise that, not everything.
Quizzes and practice exams. Graded with feedback on every answer. Import last year’s if you like.
Practise for oral exams. A digital examiner asks, you answer by voice.

Calculated from several signals:
The Utenat podcast
Hear your material. On the bus, at the gym, the night before.
Turn your summary, lecture or files into an episode where Nora and Iver walk through the material — one more pass, in time you were not using anyway.
Made from your own sources
Pick a summary, a workspace, or upload files and links. The episode is about exactly what you need to know — and you can say which topics it should revolve around.
Two hosts, three formats
Interview, conversation or exam prep: Nora asks, Iver explains, and they stick to your sources. 5 or 10 minutes.
A transcript and chapters to follow
The text follows the audio, chapters let you jump, and the player remembers where you were. Queue episodes and hear them back to back.
2 podcasts a month on Standard, 8 on Premium. Share an episode with your study group by link. Open with transcript
But I already have ChatGPT?
Use it. We do too.
But it doesn’t remember your test date, doesn’t know your subject’s goals, and never asks you about what you forgot last week. Utenat is the system that does — every day until the test.

Frequently asked questions
What people want to know before getting started.
What is Utenat?
Utenat is a Norwegian next-generation learning platform that automatically turns lectures, notes and course material into summaries, flashcards and quizzes — gathered and structured for every test and exam.
Does this actually work?
The method is well documented in over a hundred years of memory research: you retrieve the answer yourself instead of rereading, and cards come back right before you forget them — with an algorithm that tightens towards your exam date. Everything is tied to the goals in your course, and the mastery score shows what to practise more. We go through the research in detail in our study guides.
Is my data safe?
Yes. Your data is stored within the EU/EEA and handled under GDPR. Audio recordings are deleted as soon as they're transcribed — we don't keep the audio. And your data is never sold.
Does Utenat work for my subject?
Yes. In upper secondary you pick your subject and the competence goals are pulled automatically from the national curriculum. At university, the learning outcomes are pulled automatically for some institutions (currently NTNU); for the rest you paste the link to the course page and Utenat reads the outcomes from there. Bring your own material — notes, slides, documents, web links or recordings — and Utenat builds on the goals of your course.
How do I prepare for a test or exam?
Add the test or exam with its date, and Utenat gathers all your material there, tied to its learning goals, and shows a mastery score that tells you how ready you are.
Do I have to record lectures?
No. It's up to you — take your own notes or upload notes, presentations, documents or links, or record audio if you like. Utenat works with whatever you have.
Can I listen to my material as a podcast?
Yes. The Utenat podcast makes a 5- or 10-minute episode from your summary, lecture or files, with two hosts walking through the material as an interview, a conversation or exam prep. You get a transcript with chapters that follows the audio, the player remembers where you were, and you can share an episode with your study group by link. Standard gives you 2 podcasts a month, Premium 8.
I already use ChatGPT or NotebookLM for free — why Utenat?
They're great at explaining things — keep using them. But they don't know what's in your curriculum, when your exam is, or what you don't know yet. Utenat schedules your reviews toward the exam date, measures you against the learning goals, and gives you practice exams and oral training — the system that gets you to the exam, not another chat.
The next test is coming either way. With Utenat you’re better prepared for it.
