Things people use Bonsai for

A list of subjects Bonsai can be used for.

The tools · No. 01–03

Three tools to help you on every part of your learning journey.

Bonsai helps students break a problem down step by step, with guided explanations, an interactive notebook, and a quiz at the end. Bonsai promotes real learning, not answers to copy down.

No. 01 — Learn

Have it explained. Then teach it back.

One page, three ways to explore a topic. Learn builds understanding and walks students through problems. Explain switches the roles — you teach it. Discuss strengthens your claims through the Socratic method.

What's the difference between mitosis and meiosis?

Bonsai · Learn

Both divide a cell, but for different jobs. Mitosis copies everything and splits once, giving two identical cells — that is growth and repair. Meiosis splits twice without a second copy, giving four gametes, each with half the chromosomes and each genetically different.

Before we go on: a human body cell has 46 chromosomes. How many does each gamete end up with?

Plate i — the question comes backlearn
No. 02 — Notebook

Press Next, get one step.

Notebook lets students work through problems in an interactive environment and get guiding hints when they need help. It reads your work and collaborates with you when you need it.

How Notebook works
3x + 12 = 5x − 4 3x − 5x = −4 − 12 −2x = −16 x = … two negatives

Divide both sides by −2. What does that do to the sign?

Plate ii — one step, not the solutionnotebook
No. 03 — Quiz

Create quizzes to test your knowledge.

Name a topic, or give Bonsai your own notes. Personalise your quiz and get instant feedback after you finish.

How Quiz works
Photosynthesis — 3 questions 2 / 3

Which process converts light energy into chemical energy in plants?You put: Photosynthesis

Chlorophyll absorbs mostly green light.You put: True

Chlorophyll reflects green — which is exactly why leaves look green to you. What it absorbs is red and blue.

Name the gas a plant takes in during photosynthesis.You put: carbon dioxide

Plate iii — feedback on the mistake, not the answerquiz
Your garden

A garden that grows with you

A new tree each month. As you study with Bonsai, your tree grows. Past trees stay in your collection — a year of studying, kept as a year of trees.

Monthly trees

The tree resets on the first of the month and starts again from a seedling. Nothing is lost — last month's is filed in your collection, at exactly the size your studying got it to.

Plate iv — Clear daylive
  1. Visible progress. Every session grows this month's tree.
  2. Real sky. Weather and time of day match where you actually are.
  3. Live impact. Watch the carbon you have removed — 2× what you emitted, or about 10× on Pro — climb with every prompt.
The ledger

AI that gives back, not takes

Mainstream chatbots burn fossil-heavy compute with every prompt. Bonsai runs on renewable power and funds verified carbon removal every time you prompt — 2× the carbon your usage emits on the free plan, about 10× on Pro, measured from real token and prompt use.

~10×

the carbon your usage emits, removed on Pro

~2×

the carbon your usage emits, removed on the free plan

100%

renewable-powered compute, in European data centres

Most chatbots today

Every prompt spins up fossil-fuelled data centres at huge scale — adding emissions while nearby communities shoulder the burden.

Renewable-powered

Bonsai uses European data centres on renewable energy — not the fossil-heavy stack behind most LLMs. The default model is a deliberately light one.

Actively net positive

Every prompt funds carbon removal — 2× what it emitted on the free plan, about 10× on Pro — so studying pushes the planet forward instead of back.

Impact figures are averages. The full methodology — every constant, its source, and how it was measured — is public.

Pricing

Free forever. Pro when you want more.

Learn, Notebook, Quiz and your garden are all free, for as long as you want them. Pro is $5 a month — about the price of a coffee — for higher limits, our most capable model, and 10× your carbon removed instead of 2×.
