Field notes
PrimerEngine frames preparation as a separate learning layer rather than another summary: it says the system first identifies what a text assumes the reader already knows, then contrasts confusing concepts and orders ideas for comprehension. The homepage names literature, AWS or IT certification, criminal law, and language or grammar as example subjects. Its stated workflow also includes visual annotations, contrast tables, and 15 automatically generated recall questions.
