BeFreed is an AI-powered, personalized learning app for self-improvement that transforms top book summaries, expert podcasts, and course material into podcast-style microlearning you can absorb in minutes.
With an integrated AI podcast generator, interactive chats, and adaptive flashcards, BeFreed builds a personalized, dynamic learning plan that fits your schedule—turning growth into a daily habit instead of a distant goal.
Founded in San Francisco by Columbia University alumni, BeFreed advances an AI-Augmented Learning model that combines editorial curation with adaptive AI. Our system recommends what to learn next, tailors depth and format to your context, and reinforces recall—helping you learn faster, remember longer, and enjoy lifelong growth.
Top Features
Diverse knowledge sources BeFreed blends book summaries, expert podcasts, research papers, and YouTube talks into one cohesive lesson. Each session provides a 360° view—core ideas, context, and real-world application.
AI podcast generator for hands-free learning Transform any topic into a podcast-style micro-lesson. Choose voice, speed, and length for learning during commutes, workouts, or chores. Compatible with CarPlay and Android Auto.
Personalized adaptive learning plan An AI-driven roadmap that adjusts to your goals, time, and pace—shifting between formats (podcast-style lessons, written notes, flashcards) as you progress. The system proactively suggests next lessons—e.g., a Deep Work summary, a Huberman Lab clip, or an HBR article—reinforced through action prompts and spaced repetition.
Flexible durations: 10 / 20 / 40 minutes Pick short overviews, commute-length sessions, or deeper dives. Each adapts to your schedule so you never skip a day—just select a shorter slot.
Adaptive flashcards with spaced repetition Auto-generated flashcards review key insights at the right time, strengthening weak spots for lasting retention.
Multimodal learning: listen, read, watch, review AI-narrated audio, concise takeaways, video explainers, and flashcards combine to support auditory, visual, and text-first learners for better comprehension.
Credible, fact-checked content Multi-layer validation cross-checks structured sources to reduce AI hallucination. Transparent citations and ongoing audits keep insights accurate and trustworthy.
