Your first Study Hall project

Build one small project around “What causes tides in the ocean?” Finish with a question, a note, a source and a saved copy of your work.

  1. Open your workspace

    Open Study Hall, choose Sign in / Join and follow the sign-in process. On your first visit, join Study Hall. You can choose Student mode for a more guided workspace; change it later in Preferences.

  2. Give the question a project

    On an empty desk, enter Ocean tides as the project name and What causes tides in the ocean? as your question. Add your class or subject if you want. Choose Start project. If you already have work, choose New project.

  3. Keep your first thought

    Open this project’s Notes folder and create a note. Write what you already think and what you want to find out. Keep the question separate from any answer you have not checked.

  4. Ask your own AI

    Open the AI service you prefer and paste the request below. Its account and usage rules apply. Study Hall does not automatically send this request or receive the answer.

    Help me investigate what causes tides in the ocean. Start in plain language, then offer a deeper explanation. Separate established findings from simplifications. Give me findable sources and tell me what each supports. Say when you do not know. Ask me a question to check my understanding.

    Bring the useful parts of its reply back to your project note. Mark the reply as AI-generated and unverified until you have checked it.

  5. Keep a source with the claim

    Open a source named in the answer. Check that it exists and actually supports the claim. In the project’s Sources folder, record its title, author or organization, link and your notes. Keep exact quotations separate from your summary.

  6. Save somewhere you can find again

    Open Your TP.AI folder, choose Connect TP.AI and grant folder access if your browser supports it. Study Hall uses your TP.AI folder or creates one inside the parent folder you choose. Under Folder actions, select Save and verify now and check the reported result.

    If direct folder access is unavailable, use Download backup. A browser draft alone is not a separate backup. Keep a downloaded copy somewhere you can find again.
