Frequently Asked Questions About AI Study Tools

Understand how our intelligent flashcard generation works and how it compares to traditional methods.

How does the AI determine which concepts become flashcards?

The AI analyzes document structure, headings, bolded text, and conceptual density within your input to prioritize high-value facts and relationships essential for testing knowledge recall.

What specific file types can I upload to generate my cards?

We support common academic formats including PDFs, DOCX files, and various image formats (JPG, PNG) for scanning handwritten notes or presentation slides.

Is using this AI generator truly better than pre-made decks?

Yes, because generic decks lack alignment with your specific professor's focus areas. Our tool customizes the content depth based exactly on the notes you provide, ensuring targeted study.

Is there a limit to how many flashcards I can create for free?

The core features, including basic generation and study scheduling, are available for free with a generous starting allocation of generation credits. Paid plans offer expanded capacity and access to premium AI models.
