Orba Companion by Vistai

Orba Companion by Vistai turns passive video watching into active learning. Open a lecture on YouTube, Coursera, or Udemy, start a session from the side panel, and Orba works alongside the video - pausing at natural topic boundaries, checking your understanding with quick quizzes, and helping you summarise or ask questions anytime.

Whether you are studying for exams, completing an online course, or learning a new skill from video, Orba Companion keeps you engaged instead of letting lectures play in the background unnoticed.
