Why does teaching work?
The Protégé Effect is a scientifically proven phenomenon: when you teach others, you learn better than by just reading or listening.
Deeper understanding
To explain something to others, you first need to understand it yourself. This forces your brain to process information more deeply.
Finding gaps
When the bot asks clarifying questions or makes mistakes, you notice which parts of your own understanding are still weak.
Active recall
When teaching, you have to retrieve information from memory and reformulate it - this strengthens memory traces more effectively than passive review.
Studies show that those who teach remember 90% of what they taught, while those who only read remember just 10%. (National Training Laboratories)

The bot fetches the article content and extracts key points to learn
