FAQ
How does Heuristica work?
Heuristica is based on Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT or Claude. It allows the user to interact with the LLM by simply pressing buttons instead of writing lengthy prompts. Heuristica takes care of obtaining information from the AI so that you can focus on exploring and learning new things.
What are the advantages of using Heuristica?
A chat-based interface can only support a linear flow of information. Heuristica leverages a node-based user interface (UI) to support non-linear and visual learning. This way, you can explore a subject differently and learn unexpected things. Heuristica helps you interact with AI by simply clicking buttons, saving you time. It doesn't require any prompting knowledge.
Can I cancel my subscription at any time?
You can cancel your subscription at any time. It is not a long-term commitment. You will only be charged for the current month (or the year if it is an annual subscription). To manage your subscription, click the Subscription button in the header or footer. This button is only visible to subscribed users.
I purchased a Professional Subscription, but the features are still locked
Sometimes, you notice that features are still locked even if you purchase a subscription. The most common reason for this problem is that the email address used for purchase differs from the email address registered on the website. You can fix this issue by updating your primary email address on the site by clicking your user avatar and selecting Manage Account.
