How Cognifiy Works

Upload Your Work

Take a photo of your handwritten work or upload an image. Cognifiy reads your steps—not just the final answer.

Step-Level Analysis

The system parses each step of your solution and compares it against valid solution paths. When it finds a deviation, it identifies:

• Concept errors: Fundamental misunderstandings (e.g., wrong formula application)
• Procedural errors: Correct concept, wrong execution sequence
• Arithmetic slips: Calculation mistakes
• Misapplied rules: Using the right rule in the wrong context

Error-to-Concept Mapping

Each error is mapped to a specific topic gap. For example, an incorrect factorization might reveal a gap in "common factor extraction" or "sign rules in multiplication."

Targeted Practice Generation

Once a gap is identified, Cognifiy generates practice questions specifically for that concept—not random drilling across the whole topic.

Foundation Repair (Tutor Mode)

For persistent gaps, the system provides structured lessons:

• 5–8 step explanations with interactive confirmation
• Diagnostic questions to verify understanding
• Clarification when confusion is detected

This isn't a chatbot—it's a structured repair flow that prevents superficial practice on broken fundamentals.

Weak Areas Dashboard

Your identified weak areas are tracked in a dashboard. Topics with recurring errors get priority. The system learns what you struggle with over time.

Mastery Detection

The system tracks multiple signals to determine mastery:

• Consecutive correct answers
• Reduced solve time
• Consistent performance (low variance)
• Confidence scores from the system

Spaced Repetition

After you master a topic, Cognifiy schedules reviews at optimal intervals:

• First review: 3 days later
• Second review: 3 weeks later
• Final reinforcement: Before key dates (if set)

If performance drops during a review, the topic returns to active practice automatically.

Progress Tracking

Your mastery percentage, confidence score, and error trends are tracked per topic. Watch your weak areas turn into strengths over time.
