    After all, this "mode" was just a system prompt (last time I looked).

      Can it be replicated by a user?

        I think this is pretty much the entirety of study mode. Never used it before but as long as there's no UI changes, yes, it's 100% replicable.

        There used to be a “Custom GPT” feature which basically just creates a prompt wrapper with some extra functionality like being able to call web APIs for more data. Can’t seem to find that menu right now, but it would have easily replicated the study feature. Maybe it was limited to paid accounts only.

          Yeah custom gpts are only for paid users. However u can create a new project under "Projects", name it, then when u create it, you can see on the top right the three dots button, click it, open project settings, and there u can place your system prompt under instructions. Every chat you start in that project would send those instructions as a system prompt to the model you are chatting with. so essentially "Study Mode" could be recreated with this approach, or at least it should.

          It’s still there, but the builder is only in the web UI.

    I used to enjoy studying with ChatGPT too. I was on their Plus plan.

    Gemini still has its study mode.

    I was concerned about big players offering the same functionality when building listendock.com, but maybe there is a place for specialized apps like that.

    What was the Study Mode? I never saw it.

    Haven't use 'Study Mode' in OpenAI, but can't you just ask it to act as a study coach or whatever you want it to be?

    they do it with other stuff to i feel like they see how much users actually interact with those features and base their decsisoins kinda like how google owuld remove some features at random..

    I remember videos with titles like "OPENAI CHANGED STUDYING COMPLETELY WITH THIS ONE SUPER UPDATE!" and obnoxious thumbnails on youtube when it was first launched. I guess studying changed it.

      You have these grifter videos for everything, from OpenAI features to hot takes on the strait of Hormuz. These are best ignored entirely.

        Also discussed on HN. Yeah I can ignore them, but a lot of people watch those videos and fall for the grift (going by their views) and that's sad. It personally annoys me also when yt recommends them to me because it thinks I'm interested in software
