The Classic Feynman Loop (4 Steps)
- Choose a concept (e.g., “action potential”).
- Teach it in plain language (as if to a 12-year-old).
- Find gaps (where you hand-wave, you don’t know it).
- Fix gaps and re-explain until it’s clean.
The problem: doing this alone is slow. You need feedback, counterexamples, and targeted practice questions.

The AI Version: Explain → Challenge → Repair
Ultra Learn acts like a tireless tutor that challenges your explanation:
- It asks “okay, but why?” at the exact moment you get vague.
- It generates counterexamples (the fastest way to expose shallow understanding).
- It turns your gaps into quizzes and flashcards.
This is why Ultra Learn fits the query people actually search: best AI tool for feyman techniques (and yes, the spelling varies).

A Practical Script You Can Use Today
Prompt structure:
- “Explain X like I’m 12.”
- “Now explain it like I’m preparing for an exam.”
- “Give me 10 tricky questions that reveal misunderstandings.”
- “Quiz me, then reteach only what I missed.”
Ultra Learn can run this loop on your own notes and PDFs, not generic internet summaries—so the explanation matches your syllabus and exam style.
