Chegg Launches New Create Functionality to Offer Personalized, AI-Powered Study Tools

Create enables students to generate personalized practice materials and study plans from their class notes to receive tailored support where they need it the most.

SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Today, Chegg, Inc. (NYSE: CHGG) announced the launch of its new Create functionality. Create empowers students to generate practice tests and flashcards – directly from their own class materials, such as notes – delivering a highly customized and personalized study experience that helps to align with what they’re learning in the classroom.

Chegg’s Create functionality is designed to revolutionize the way that students study by generating individualized practice questions and flashcards based on the questions they’ve already asked. Traditional study tools often require students to rely on pre-generated sets, Create leverages its advanced agentic AI systems, allowing students to work with their own class content, instantly tailoring practice questions to the specific topics they are learning and the challenges they face.

Create uses advanced algorithms and agentic techniques to generate effective questions, complete with plausible distractors, that challenge students to think critically and apply reasoning skills. This focus on crafting high-quality, thought-provoking questions encourages long-term learning and aids in reinforcing deeper understanding of the material.

“At Chegg, we’re always looking for new ways to empower students and transform their learning experiences,” said Nathan Schultz, CEO of Chegg. “The launch of Create marks a major milestone in our journey toward a more personalized approach to student learning. This functionality not only tailors study tools to each student’s unique needs – but also provides students with the feedback that they are so often lacking – and that we find is essential to helping them stay focused and engaged. Along with the recent introduction of Solution Scout, Chegg is proud to continue to push the boundaries of what study support has to offer for the modern student.”

Create also incorporates metacognitive strategies that help students reflect on their learning process. When selecting their answer to a practice question, the tool offers hints and asks students to rate how confident they are in their chosen answer. This reflection step enables students to better self-assess their knowledge and enhance retention.

At the end of a practice set, students receive a detailed report showing which questions they answered correctly or incorrectly, along with their confidence ratings for each answer. This feedback is developed to activate the hyper-correction effect, giving students confidence in the skills they’ve mastered, while also putting more focus on the questions they got wrong – eventually leading to stronger memory of the correct answers.

The Create functionality’s ability to generate questions based on students' previous engagement on Chegg and their own input offers a highly tailored study experience, signaling clear guidance on which topics and subtopics they need to master to help them succeed in their coursework. With Create, Chegg continues to push the boundaries of personalized learning, making it easier than ever for students to study smarter, not harder.
