Every Time You Google a Concept, You Lose 20 Minutes
You're reviewing flashcards at 1 AM. You see "RAAS pathway" for the fifteenth time. You still don't fully get the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone cascade. You know you should understand it. You don't.
So you open a new tab. Google it. Click on a Wikipedia article. Read three paragraphs. Click on a related link. Somehow you're now reading about Addison's disease. It's been 25 minutes. You still don't feel confident about the RAAS pathway.
Or maybe you open YouTube. Find a 12-minute video. The first 3 minutes are intro. By minute 8, you're checking your phone. You close the tab. Where were you in your flashcards? You've lost the thread.
Every time you leave your study session to look something up, you lose context, momentum, and time. The interruption costs more than the answer is worth.
Why Existing Resources Break Your Study Flow
Google / Wikipedia
Opens a new tab, takes you down rabbit holes, and you lose your place in your study session. Information is unfiltered and not tailored to medical education level.
YouTube medical videos
Great for deep dives, terrible for quick answers. A 10-second question turns into a 12-minute video with ads. You lose your study momentum completely.
Textbooks
Authoritative but slow. Finding the right page, reading the right section, and contextualizing it takes 10-15 minutes. Not practical during a late-night review session.
You need answers that come to you — inside your study session, in seconds, at the level of detail you need right now.
When the Answer Is 10 Seconds Away, You Never Lose Your Flow
You're reviewing flashcards. "RAAS pathway" comes up again. This time, you highlight the term. Cortex explains it in 10 seconds. Clear, concise, at exactly the level you need right now.
No new tab. No rabbit hole. No 12-minute video. You understand it, you move on, and you're still in your review session. Momentum intact.
See a confusing diagram? Screenshot it. Cortex breaks it down — labels the parts, explains the relationships, highlights what's clinically relevant.
It's like having a smart friend on call. Except this one never sleeps, never gets annoyed, and always explains things at the right level for where you are in medical school.
When you can get answers without leaving your session, you study more in less time. No context switching. No lost momentum. Just continuous learning.
