Avery for biology
An AI study coach for college introductory biology
Avery helps you understand biology instead of cramming it: genetic crosses, cellular respiration, gene expression, evolution. It works from your textbook and asks the questions that build the idea, instead of handing you the answer.

Biology tools, built in
They open beside your work, and you can ask the tutor how to use any of them.
- PunnettCross one to three genes: the square, the ratios, and a χ² test against your own counts.
- CodonsTranslate RNA or DNA frame by frame, with the full 64-codon table.
- StatsMean and sample standard deviation, plus t-tests and χ² with real p-values.
- Lab DataPaste a table to plot it and fit a line, with the slope's uncertainty.
- GrapherPlot f(x), with tangent lines, slopes and shaded areas.
- Periodic TableEvery element: atomic mass, electron configuration and properties.
- MolesMolar mass with the breakdown, conversions between grams, moles and particles, and dilution.
- UnitsUnit conversions with every step of the chain shown, and a dimension check.
- CalcA scientific calculator in a window you can move over your work.
Every class also gets Avery's study tools: Review for topics due another look, Progress for what's strong and what's shaky, a day-by-day Planner, and Grade, which shows where you stand and what the final needs to be.
Works from your textbook
Upload your textbook, syllabus, lecture notes and problem sets, and Avery's answers follow the way your instructor teaches the course. No file of your book? Avery's library includes three openly licensed biology textbooks: OpenStax Biology 2e, Concepts of Biology and Anatomy & Physiology 2e. For Biology 2e there's also a sample 14-week study plan and 70 practice problems written for the book.
Answers stay tied to your class. Avery cites the passage each answer came from and links to it in your materials, so you can check it against the source.
How studying works
- Learn the materialAvery checks the prerequisites a topic leans on and gives you a short catch-up where you're rusty, then explains the topic from your book.
- Work problemsStart with your assigned problems. Avery coaches, checks your work, and spots the reasoning that's tripping you up. Ask for more problems like the ones you missed.
- Prepare for the examTake quizzes and practice exams matched to your instructor's style, as many times as you like, with feedback on every miss. Flash cards cover the terms and formulas.
Questions
Biology is a lot of memorizing. Does Avery help with that?
Yes. Flash cards and memory sheets cover the key terms, and Review brings back the topics that are due for another look.
Will Avery just give me the answers?
Not unless you want it to. Avery's hints-only mode holds back the final answer and walks you toward it, for the times you need to be able to do the problem yourself. Either way, it checks your reasoning instead of just your result.
Does it work with my textbook?
Yes. Upload your textbook, syllabus, lecture notes and problem sets, and Avery's answers follow your class. Each answer cites the passage it came from and links to it, so you can check it against the source. If you don't have a file of your book, use one from Avery's library.
What does it cost?
Students who sign up with a .edu email by December 31, 2026 get their first month of Avery Premium free, then keep Avery Standard at no cost, with no end date set. No card needed. See pricing.
Is using Avery for homework cheating?
Avery coaches you through problems instead of doing them for you, and it cites your own course materials so you can check what it says. Your instructor's AI policy still applies: if they don't allow AI help on graded work, follow that and use Avery to study.
