Terms of Use

Last updated October 2026

By using Couch Scholar you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

What Couch Scholar is

A free learning platform where you explore ideas through stories with Potato, an AI learning companion. It is for personal and professional growth. It does not offer academic credit, certification, or professional advice.

Potato is an AI

Potato's replies and voice are generated by artificial intelligence. They can be incomplete or wrong. Use your own judgment, and don't rely on Potato for medical, legal, financial, mental-health, or other professional advice.

Using it well

  • Keep situations general. Don't enter confidential, personal, or sensitive information about yourself or anyone else.
  • Don't use Couch Scholar to harm others, break the law, or try to disrupt or misuse the service.
  • We may limit use to keep the service fair and available for everyone.

Accounts

Accounts are free and optional, for people 16 and older. Keep access to your email secure — anyone with your sign-in link can enter your account. You can delete your account at any time from My Learning.

Your words and ours

What you write stays yours. Couch Scholar's content, design, and Potato character belong to Couch Scholar. Shows and films mentioned belong to their owners; Couch Scholar is not affiliated with or endorsed by them.

Changes and availability

Couch Scholar is provided “as is” while we learn and improve. Features may change or pause. We'll update these terms when things change and note the date above.
