FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Everything you want to know.
What Discria is, how the adaptation works, and why your data stays on your machine — straight to the point, no marketing fluff.
Abstract question-mark constellation — symbolising curiosity and discovery.
Basics
What is Discria?
Discria is an adaptive learning app. You create topics, attach your own sources — folders, files, textbook PDFs, optionally web research — and Discria generates multiple-choice questions as a learning game. What makes it special: Discria doesn't just spot which topics are tripping you up, it also checks whether the wording of a question was the problem. It creates two variants (A/B) and permanently keeps the one that works better for you.
How does Discria adapt to my learning style?
Discria uses statistical, individual, and AI signals to measure which questions and topics actually hold you back — not just how often you answered incorrectly. Based on this, Discria deliberately targets your weak spots in the next quiz and adjusts question frequency. It also checks whether a poor answer was down to the topic itself or the wording of the question (wording A/B test).
What does "wording A/B test" mean?
When you repeatedly get a question wrong, Discria asks: is it the subject matter — or the way the question is phrased? Discria automatically creates an alternative wording of the same question (variant B), presents both variants across different sessions, measures which one you answer better, and permanently keeps the better fit. The weaker variant is discarded. This way the quiz questions themselves adapt to your individual learning style.
Models & Sources
Which AI model does Discria use — do I need a GPU?
Discria prefers a small local language model via Ollama that runs on a regular laptop — a dedicated GPU isn't strictly required, but it does improve speed. If you run your own API endpoint, you can optionally connect LiteLLM. In either case, your material never leaves your machine.
What sources can I attach?
You can attach folders, individual files, and large textbook PDFs — Discria fully processes documents hundreds of pages long. Optionally, Discria can independently perform web research to enrich a topic with current knowledge. Discria works exclusively on your own materials, not on a third-party content library.
Privacy & Platforms
Does my data stay local?
Yes. Discria is local-first: all processing runs on your machine. Your materials, questions, and learning data never leave your computer. There's no mandatory cloud and no required account. If you use Ollama locally, the AI model conversation stays on your machine too.
Which platforms does Discria run on?
Discria is planned for desktop operating systems — Windows, macOS, and Linux. Exact minimum requirements will be announced with the early access release.
Launch & Early Access
When will Discria launch and how much will it cost?
Discria is currently in development. The next step is early access, which you can sign up for by email right now. Pricing and final release dates will be announced with the early access.
