You have 60 seconds. Here's how to start learning anything in Ritsu.

1. Open the Learning Chat

Click the chat icon in the top-right of the dashboard, or press ⌘K on Mac (or Ctrl+K on Windows). The chat opens to a fresh thread.

2. Type a slash

Slash commands tell Ritsu what kind of learning session you want. Type / and you'll see the list pop up:

  • /flashcard — generate flashcards from any concept
  • /quiz — get a focused quiz on a topic
  • /explain — ask Ritsu to teach you something step-by-step
  • /summarize — turn a long source into a study-sized brief

3. Pick one and finish the line

Type the rest of the line in plain English:

/flashcard binary search trees

Hit Enter and Ritsu will spin up a deck. You'll see flashcards stream in within a few seconds.

What's next

  • Save the deck to review later — click the bookmark icon when the deck arrives.
  • Try other commands — every slash command works the same way: /command + a one-line description.
  • See the full command reference — head to Learning Commands for every command, every option.

That's it. You're learning.
