Basic Structure doctrine limits Parliament's power to amend the Constitution beyond its core identity.

Answers from your uploads, not generic chat
Shelf's reader includes a Study AI panel beside your document. Questions run through a retrieval pipeline that searches indexed chunks of your library — vector search when configured, keyword fallback otherwise — and composes answers with citations back to collection, topic, and page titles.
That means when you ask "Explain this case's ratio decidendi," the model sees excerpts from the PDF you actually uploaded, not a hallucinated textbook.

Selection-aware questions
Select text before asking to narrow context to that passage — ideal for dense judgments, formulae, or definitions. With nothing selected, Study AI uses broader page context plus retrieved library excerpts.
Use ⌘L (Ctrl+L on Windows) from the reader to ask with the current selection, Cursor-style.

Saved page threads
Each document can keep one saved page-scoped thread. Reopen the PDF and your prior Q&A restores in the reader panel. Jump to /study-ai/[id] to continue the same conversation with full history, images, and library scope controls.
Goal-aware formatting
Set a study goal in Settings — UPSC, Judiciary, NEET PG, GATE, and more — and Study AI tunes tone and structure. Answers use Markdown headings, lists, and comparison tables when useful, so outputs paste cleanly into revision notes.

How retrieval stays grounded
When you ask a question, Shelf embeds your query and searches indexed chunks from your library — vector similarity when Qdrant is configured, keyword search otherwise. Top passages are injected into the prompt with collection, topic, and page labels.
The model is instructed to prefer those excerpts over general knowledge. If your library has nothing relevant, Study AI says so instead of inventing citations.

Reader panel vs full workspace
The reader panel is for quick questions while you read — explain this paragraph, define this term, contrast these two sentences. The full /study-ai workspace adds longer threads, image attachments, library scope toggles, and history search.
Page-scoped threads save automatically per document. Library-wide chat starts fresh but can pull from every indexed page you authorize.
Prompt patterns that work
Ask for exam-shaped outputs: "List five prelims-style MCQ traps from this chapter," or "Give a 150-word introduction for an essay on this topic using only my notes."
Chain questions: first summarize, then ask for a table comparing two sections, then request mnemonics — each turn sees prior answers in the thread.

Tokens, limits, and Premium
Free tiers include monthly AI token budgets suited to daily revision. Premium expands storage and tokens for heavy library-wide sessions during mains crunch time.
Long PDFs are chunked at index time — you do not paste 200 pages into chat. Retrieval selects the relevant slices automatically.

Privacy and your data
Questions and answers belong to your account. They are not used to train public models. Uploaded PDFs stay in your private object-storage prefix unless you explicitly use shared curriculum on /learn.
Delete a page and its chunks drop out of search after processing catches up — your library remains yours to curate and purge.
Study goals shape the voice
Set UPSC, Judiciary, NEET PG, or GATE in Settings and answers adopt the right depth — more case law for Judiciary, more numerical drill for GATE. You can change goals anytime; new messages pick up the latest preference.
Outputs use Markdown headings and tables so you can paste into collection-level doc pages or external notes with minimal reformatting.
