The new mode employs the Socratic method to ask questions and guide users instead of giving out ready-made answers.

To use Study mode, you can choose a subject (like biology, history or statistics), set your level of knowledge (beginner, intermediate or advanced) and even tell the AI how you want to study such as with flashcards, Q&A, breakdowns of concepts or practice problems.

Like Claude's Learning Mode, which Anthropic introduced in April, Study Mode will see ChatGPT adopt a Socratic approach to conversations.
