Creating content

A Set is Algor's core object: a complete study guide, organized into sections and pages, that you can read, practice with and share. Instead of writing it yourself, you describe what you have and what you need, and the AI builds it for you, ready to study or to hand out to a class in a few minutes.

Click Create an Algor Set in the Home to start the guided flow. It walks you through four choices: what to create, which material to use, what style and depth you want, and finally the index of the Set. Every step is optional: skip any of them and let the AI decide, or fine-tune each one for a result that matches exactly what you need.

1. Start with Create an Algor Set

In almost every case this is the option to choose. The Set is the complete result: the text to read, the concept map, the summary, the audio and the AI assistant live inside its pages, and the flashcard deck and the assessment run on top of the Set, on the part you choose. Pick Create an Algor Set and you don't have to decide in advance which tool you'll need: they are all there when you want them.

The same screen also offers a few single contents, for the rare case where you only want one specific output. You lose nothing by starting from a Set: those tools can be added inside it at any time. See Create a single content type if that's really what you need.

2. Choose your source

This is the choice that matters most: it decides where the content of your Set comes from. For a Set you have two starting points, and you pick the one that fits what you already have.

• From your material: the AI reads what you already have and turns it into a Set. Upload PDFs, Word documents or images, take a photo, paste a web or YouTube link, paste text directly, or pick files you already keep in Algor. On the free plan you can use up to 25 pages per PDF: a longer document is not refused, you simply choose which pages to use, up to 25. With a paid plan you can select the whole document. Use this when you have lecture notes, a textbook chapter, a slide deck or a recording to start from.
• From a topic: no material at all, just an idea. Type a topic, for example "The Industrial Revolution", and the AI researches it and writes the Set for you. Use this when you're starting from scratch and want the AI to do the research too.
• Manually, in some flows only: for certain single contents, such as the mind map, you can skip the AI and open the editor directly to build it yourself. This option is not offered for a Set.

3. Shape the content to fit you

Before generating, you decide who the Set is for and how it should read. These choices genuinely change the output: the same PDF can become a simple, example-rich guide for a ten-year-old, or a dense, technical reference for an exam. The choice is yours.

• Who is it for: for yourself, or for someone else, specifying their age or school level. You can be as concrete as you like: "a second-year high school student", or "a student with dyslexia". This tunes the vocabulary and the depth of explanations to the right audience, which is useful for a teacher preparing material for a class younger than themselves.
• What the content should be like: the language can be Simple, Balanced or Technical; the format Flowing or Schematic; practical examples can appear Only when needed or Lots of examples. Under Advanced content instructions there is a free text field for anything the presets don't cover, such as "Focus on the third chapter" or "I don't need to memorize dates".
• The language of the content: the last step asks in which language you want the Set. It can be different from the language of the material you uploaded and from the Algor interface, which is handy when your source is in another language. Then you press Generate.

4. Review the index and generate

Before writing a single page, the AI analyzes your material and proposes an index: the sections and pages your Set will contain. This is the moment to catch anything missing or out of order, while it's still cheap to fix. Accept the index as it is, or click Edit with AI and describe in plain words what you'd like changed: add a section, merge two pages, reorder a topic. Once you confirm, Algor generates every page and opens your new Set.

Nothing is final yet: the index can be changed before you confirm. Open Edit with AI, write what you want in plain words, for example "I'd like a more comprehensive set where each topic is explored in detail, around 25 pages in total", and press Apply changes. The index is rebuilt and you can keep adjusting it until it looks right. Only when you press Generate are the pages actually written.

The Set is the most complete option, and the one worth choosing almost every time: everything else (audio, assistant, and the flashcards and assessment you launch on the Set) comes with it. Occasionally, though, you only want one thing: a map to look at, a summary to hand out, or the text of a recording. In the first step of the creation flow you can pick one of those single contents instead of Set; the following steps (source, style, detail) work exactly the same way.

• Map: a structured mind map of the topic.
• Summary: a short text with the key points.
• Transcription: audio or video turned into clean, tidy text.

If a lesson was recorded, there's no need to relisten to it and take notes by hand. Upload the recording and Algor produces a clean, readable transcript, ready to use on its own or as the source for a full Set.

1. 1Upload the audio or video recording.
2. 2Select the language of the file.
3. 3Add the details of the lesson: school, course, date, teacher.

Algor turns the recording into clean text and study material. You can keep the transcript as its own piece of content, or add it as a tool inside a page of a Set, next to a summary or a mind map on the same lesson.

Sometimes you'd rather write the content yourself, for example when you already have a lesson plan in your head, or when you want something very specific. Some flows let you do exactly that: with the mind map you can choose to start manually, and Algor opens the editor straight away with an empty canvas to build yourself. For a Set this option is not offered, because a Set always starts from your material or from a topic.
