Upload your lecture. Get a structured lesson built around your professor's actual content. Practice with exercises. Let Pedro, your adaptive personalised AI tutor, guarantee you understand before you move on. Then answer real past exam questions for exactly what you just learned.
This is not a study app. This is the first system built around the exam as the ground truth.
"Built by a student who spent three years barely attending a lecture, never repeating a year, and passing every exam. Coast is that method, turned into a system."
The Problem
They optimise for information delivery. Lectures move at one pace for everyone. Generic AI tools give you answers without checking if you actually understood anything. Past papers, the single most predictive preparation tool, are scattered across WhatsApp groups and disorganised portals. Access is luck, not merit.
No existing tool connects what you just learned directly to what you will be tested on.
Coast does.
How It Works
Coast is not a collection of features. It is a complete learning system where every step builds toward the one thing that matters: your exam.
Drop in your lecture slides or notes. Coast instantly transforms them into a structured lesson, building the conceptual story behind each topic with your professor's actual diagrams and visual content woven directly in. You learn with the same visual language your exam was designed around.
Before any question is asked, Coast gives you the why before the what. Every topic is introduced with narrative and context so nothing is memorised without being understood. Exercises built directly from your lecture content test the exact methods and logic your course requires.
Pedro is your personalised Socratic AI tutor. He never gives you the answer. He asks the right questions until you find it yourself. Pedro maintains a persistent memory of your strengths, weaknesses, and learning patterns, updated every five messages. Every session builds on the last.
Once you have mastered the building blocks, Coast serves you real past examination questions mapped to exactly what you just learned. Not generic AI-generated quizzes. Verified past papers from your actual university, tagged by topic and difficulty. The exam is the ground truth.
Mastery verified. Progress earned. The next module opens when you are genuinely ready, not just when time runs out.

Why Coast Is Different
Every other study tool (Quizlet, StudySmarter, ChatGPT) is a better candle. They make passive learning slightly more convenient. Coast is not a better candle.
Coast is the first study system built around the exam as the ground truth, not as an afterthought. The lesson, the exercises, Pedro, and the past paper questions are not separate features. They are one continuous loop designed to produce genuine mastery, not surface recall.
Meet Pedro
Most AI tools solve your problem for you. Pedro teaches you to solve it yourself.
Pedro is a Socratic AI tutor with a three-layer memory model. Permanent notes capture stable patterns in your understanding that persist across every session. Active notes update in real time during your current session. Pattern notes track recurring misconceptions as they emerge.
Every five messages, Pedro updates his model of you. He goes deeper where you struggle. He moves faster where you are confident. He adapts to how you think, not how the average student thinks.
This is not ChatGPT with a different interface. This is a tutor that knows you.

Automatically generated from your lecture slides. Clean, structured, downloadable and editable. Mind map and visual explanation features included.
Global flashcards built on spaced repetition science. Intelligently scheduled so you review what you are about to forget, not what you already know.
Complete a past paper question set and earn a fish drop of varying rarity. Rare catches displayed on your public profile. Leaderboards, badges, and levels create campus-wide competitive loops tied directly to academic effort.
Consistent daily engagement rewarded. Because consistency is where real mastery is built.
Send lessons you built to friends and coursemates. Peer-to-peer learning built into the core product.
Floating scientific calculator, always available. Integrated Pomodoro timer for focus sessions. Light and dark mode so you study your way.
For Teachers
Coast is not just built for students. The better students learn, the better teachers can teach. Coast gives faculty the data to make that happen.
For the first time, faculty can see exactly where their students struggle in real time, not after exam results come in. Universities sit on decades of past papers with zero analytical use. Coast turns that into live intelligence.
See exactly which past paper questions your students fail on most. Identify knowledge gaps before exam day, not after.
Compare your cohort's performance against international averages. Understand where your curriculum needs to evolve.
Generate new exam questions, update course content, and build fresh presentation slides, all informed by live student performance data.
The teacher platform is currently in development alongside the student product.
Built from experience
Coast was born at Maastricht University out of frustration with passive teaching that moves at one pace for everyone. Instead of accepting it, we reverse-engineered our own education using AI, past papers, and course structures until we understood every topic in less time than a single lecture.
Three years. Strong GPA. Never held back.
Coast is that method, rebuilt from the ground up as infrastructure. Not optimised. Replaced entirely.
Built at Maastricht University.
Read our full storyWe are starting at Maastricht. We are building for the world.
Yes. We are launching with a generous free tier. A Pro plan for unlimited Pedro interactions and advanced past paper access will follow, priced for student budgets.
No. Pedro is architecturally different. He is grounded in your university's actual syllabus and past paper content, and he maintains a persistent memory of your learning patterns across every session. Generic AI has no memory, no syllabus grounding, and no accountability for whether you actually understood anything.

Never. Your rank is determined purely by academic progress and mastery. You cannot buy your way to the top.
Our proprietary OCR pipeline reads, structures, and tags real past examination papers by topic, difficulty, and concept type. Every question Coast serves you is a verified real exam question, matched to exactly what you just learned in your lesson.
