Check what any AI tells you
Google's Gemini Apps Privacy Hub says Gemini Apps may produce inaccurate information. That applies to every AI explainer, including the AI tutor in Lumi's app. For NEET and JEE, check facts against the NCERT textbook, which Lumi's free notes follow chapter by chapter.
Gemini's quizzes and study notebooks are built from the material you upload, so their coverage of the syllabus depends on what you give them. Lumi's questions are already mapped to concept atoms, and FSRS decides when each comes back for revision.
