The library model, and its two problems
The first problem is coverage: it works brilliantly if your exact module is well represented and not at all if it isn't. You cannot rely on it, because you cannot know in advance whether tonight's topic is in there.
The second is provenance. Content is uploaded by other students. It may be excellent, it may be wrong, and some of it — past papers, marked coursework, solution manuals — may be material your institution considers it misconduct to consult, or a copyright holder considers it infringing to distribute. Universities have taken a hard line on this and the enforcement is not theoretical.
The other model
Thaxas doesn't have a library, and never will. It reads the material *you* have — the slides your lecturer published, the readings on your list, the notes you took, the lectures you recorded — and builds everything from that: chat with citations, quizzes, flashcards, study guides.
That is a smaller promise, and a much more dependable one. Coverage is exactly as good as your own material, which you can check; provenance is exactly your own material, which you already have the right to read.
And your material stays yours
Because Thaxas is not a sharing platform, nothing you upload is ever exposed to another user. Uploads sit in private storage tied to your account and are never used to train models. Sharing happens only when you explicitly invite people into a folder, and even then, your flashcard progress, quiz scores and chat history stay private — a study group never becomes a leaderboard.
