No card. Use them within 30 days.
The episode on your exact topic doesn't exist.
The lecture recording is 50 minutes and you need six of them. The YouTube explainer is pitched at whoever clicked. The podcast that sounded right spends 20 minutes on background you covered last semester. So you read the slides again on the bus.
Ask for the episode instead.
Nothing to upload
Skip the prep. Just ask.
The sources for almost any course are already online. Fylom gathers them, keeps a ledger of every claim and where it came from, and writes the episode from that. You type one message and walk out the door.
Pitched at your year
No five minutes on things you already know.
Say you're third-year and you've done receptor theory, and the plan skips it. After a few episodes in the same area, Fylom learns what you've heard and skips that too. It never assumes knowledge from your degree title alone, and everything it remembers is visible and deletable in the app.
Hard topics
When it gets hard, it slows down.
A pathway, a proof, a statistical result. The narration explains it, gives you one concrete example, then pauses before moving on, so the hard bit doesn't go over your head while you're crossing the road. It also says how settled each point is, so you can hear the difference between textbook and one study's finding.
Hear it yourself
Don't take our word for it
Real episodes, each made from a single topic. Press play.

What's the 31 October offer?
Create an account by 31 October and you get 150 free minutes instead of the usual 30. That's about 10 episodes at 15 minutes each. Use them within 30 days of signing up. No card, and nothing renews.
How long does it take to make one?
A few minutes. Type it before you leave and you get a notification when it's ready.
How long are the episodes?
You choose, from a 10-minute recap to a 25-minute deep dive. Leave it on Auto and the producer sizes it to the topic.
I'm first year and know nothing about it yet. Does that work?
Say so and the episode starts from the ground up. Nothing gets skipped until you've actually heard it.
How is this different from a lecture recording or NotebookLM?
You don't bring anything. A recording is 50 minutes at the lecturer's pace, and NotebookLM needs your documents. Fylom researches the topic itself and writes for the length and level you ask for.
Can I rely on it for exams?
Use it to understand, not to cite. Episodes are researched, written, and voiced by AI, and they can get things wrong. Check anything you'll be marked on against your course material.
Can I get one every week for a unit?
Yes. Ask for a weekly show on the unit and a fresh episode is generated each week, covering what's new since the last one.
Is it free?
Your first episodes are free, and you don't need an account to start. Sign up by 31 October and it's your first 10. After that it's a subscription, managed through the App Store or Google Play.
Tomorrow's walk is covered.
