The learning app that proves mastery

Learn it.
Prove it.

Semideus turns what you study into durable understanding through teach-back, retrieval practice, and spaced review. Then it grades you. Your Mastery Score is evidence, not a streak.

Every learning app measures activity. Semideus measures understanding.

01 · The problem

The illusion of knowing.

Streaks, completions, and highlights measure activity, not understanding. Rereading feels like learning. It is not. And AI makes the illusion worse by doing the thinking for you.

02 · The learning system

Built on how memory actually works.

Capture anything into knowledge cards and a wiki knowledge graph. Study through teach-back, retrieval practice, and spaced repetition the system schedules for you.

  • Drop PDFs, papers, links, or repos. Cards and wiki nodes come from your sources.
  • Every claim traces back to a source passage.
  • The schedule adapts to what you get wrong.
03 · The proof engine

Teach it back. Get graded.

Explain concepts in your own words. Semideus grades your explanation server side across four dimensions. No self-report, no participation trophies.

teach-back · graded server side
Your explanation · Attention masking
Attention masking hides future tokens so the model cannot peek ahead. During training, each position only sees what came before it, like covering the next page of your notes while you recite this one.

Retention

A card counts when it survives spaced retrieval, not when you saw it once.

There is no mark-as-learned button.

04 · The evidence

A score you can show.

Your Mastery Score is backed by logged evidence, not streaks. Every point traces to a graded event you can open. Watch it honestly.

  • Computed from proof events, never self-report
  • Gaps surfaced in plain language
  • Moves only when a grade lands
05 · Meta-learning

The test is the training.

Retrieval and calibration are the two things that reliably make people better learners. Every graded teach-back is both. The loop that proves your understanding is the same loop that improves it. That is learning how to learn, measured instead of promised.

Calibration

Predict how well you taught it before the grade lands. Semideus scores the gap.

Spaced retrieval

Cards come back on a schedule tuned to your forgetting. A long interval is the real test that memory held.

06 · Capture from AI

Nothing your AI teaches you evaporates.

Connect Claude or any MCP client. Say deposit what I just learned. Semideus turns the session into knowledge cards and wiki nodes automatically.

Then the loop takes over: the cards get scheduled, the concepts get taught back, and what your AI explained becomes something you can prove.
