Built by a TBS student,
for TBS students.
StudiPac exists because the materials and the AI both already existed, and nobody had bothered to put them together.
Studying at TBS means running three systems at once. There are the community Drives, which hold the real materials and are impossible to search. There are the AI chatbots, which are capable and know nothing about my course until I spend twenty minutes uploading files to them. And there are the past papers, which are the single most useful thing for an exam and are scattered across group chats, phones and hard drives.
None of that is a technology problem. The files exist. The AI exists. Nobody had connected them per course and left them ready to use.
So before writing any of it, I posted the idea publicly and offered it for sale, to find out whether it was only interesting to me. Students paid for it on the strength of a description alone, and asked for no particular feature. They said they needed something like this to lock in. That was enough to start building.
Every course in here I put together myself, which is slow and is also the whole point. I am a TBS student. I sit the same exams.

Now students are testing it, and what they ask for is what gets built next.
Principles
What we care about.
Curated by hand, course by course
Every course is put together deliberately: the syllabus, the slides, the notes, and as many past papers as can be found. Nothing is scraped and dumped in. That is slow, and it is the reason opening a course actually gives you something usable instead of a folder to sort through.
Answers show their source
Pac cites the material and the page behind what it tells you, so you can check it against the real document. An AI study tool you cannot verify is worse than no AI study tool the night before an exam.
Things we deliberately did not build
Interactive practice exams with AI grading were built, tested, and then deleted before launch. On math-heavy courses we could not promise the grading was right, and a confidently wrong grade is worse than no grade. For exams you get the real past papers, and Pac with its citations, instead.
The library is free
The files students need already circulate for free in community Drives. Charging for access to them would be charging for something that was never ours to gate. So the library is free for anyone who signs up.
Where this is going.
StudiPac starts with a few courses, curated properly, rather than every course curated badly. Adding a course is a matter of gathering and reviewing its materials, not of building anything new, so the catalogue grows as fast as the curation does. The goal is every course at TBS.
But a bigger library was never really the ambition, and a study tool that only matters in the three weeks before finals is not worth building.
TBS already has something rare. Students here share. Notes get passed down, seniors tell juniors which chapters actually matter, and somebody always maintains the Drive that nobody thanks them for. None of this corpus was scraped from anywhere. It exists because people shared it first.
So StudiPac is meant to be a continuation of that rather than a replacement for it, and to be somewhere you actually belong rather than somewhere you log in to download a PDF. In practice that means the courses students ask for get built first, the people who help curate get credited for it, and as the catalogue outgrows one person, the students who know a course best should be the ones shaping it.
If your course is not there yet, tell us which one you need: Email us or DM @studipac on Instagram. That is genuinely how the order gets decided.
