Why it matters to check
Chatbots are the most popular use of generative AI in the Netherlands, especially among young people and the highly educated, according to a University of Twente study published in February 2026. The same study has a warning: a third of users said they had received suggestions that later turned out to be wrong.
That's the key to revising with AI. A summary of your study chats is a starting point. Your lecture notes and readings are the reference.
Why a long chat isn't a revision sheet
A study chat is a conversation, not a syllabus. The right explanation often comes after two follow-up questions, with detours and a calculation you corrected later in between. The night before an exam, you don't want to reread all that.
By hand: the revision prompt
At the end of a study chat, send this in the same chat:
Summarise this chat as a revision sheet for my exam. 1. The key concepts, each with a one-sentence explanation. 2. The results and methods that turned out to be correct. 3. The places where I got something wrong, and what's right. 4. What we started but didn't resolve. Leave out everything we discarded.
In a very long chat, check the summary against the chat all the more carefully.
The faster way: Summarize in Uncook
Summarize in Uncook does this from the whole chat. Open the study chat in ChatGPT, click the Uncook icon and choose Summarize. You get the essentials, without the back-and-forth.
Several chats for one course? Bring them together: Summarize then makes one summary for all of them. That counts as a task. With Adjust, you can set who it's for and which language, handy if the course was in Dutch and you studied in English, or the other way round.
FAQ
Is this allowed? Summarising your own study chats to revise is studying. What's allowed in the exam itself is up to your programme.
Can I summarise chats from Claude or Gemini? Yes. The extension reads chats from supported AIs, including ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini.
Does it work on my phone? Uncook is a Chrome extension for your computer. On your phone, use the revision prompt above.
We don't keep the conversations you bring. When you click Send to Uncook in the extension window, the extension sends the chat from your tab to our servers, encrypted, for up to 30 minutes, and we delete it as soon as your Uncook page opens it. What Uncook makes from it is kept as a task, for as long as our Privacy page says. Neither your chats nor your tasks are used to train AI models.
