No credit card required

Intelligent Study Tools Engineered for Retention

Move beyond passive studying. Our platform combines expert educational technology with powerful generative AI to ensure personalized learning paths.

Transform Any Format into Study Material

Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTs, or simply type a concept. If you took notes with your Apple Pencil, snap a photo—the AI ingests your specific content, ensuring every card is hyper-relevant to your course material.

Cognitive Science Optimized Learning

Leverage true spaced repetition scheduling integrated directly into your deck planning. This proven methodology ensures you focus study time only on concepts you are about to forget, maximizing long-term retention.

Effortless Customization and Exam Targeting

Every AI-generated card is fully editable, allowing you to refine the wording to match your exact understanding. You can also input your exam date, and the system adjusts the review frequency accordingly.

From Sketch to Study Session in Three Steps

We handle the heavy lifting of information extraction so you can focus solely on mastery.

  1. 1

    1. Capture Your Source Material

    Upload your existing physical or digital notes (PDF, image file, PowerPoint) or provide a detailed prompt describing the topic you need to master.

  2. 2

    2. AI Extracts Core Concepts

    Our specialized learning algorithm instantly processes the input, identifying key terms, definitions, processes, and complex relationships to build atomic flashcards.

  3. 3

    3. Schedule, Edit, and Master

    Review the generated deck, make any necessary edits in your own words, select your spaced repetition intervals or set a target exam date, and begin studying actively.

Why AI-Generated Flashcards Are Superior for Digital Note Takers

Relying on generic, pre-made decks for complex subjects rarely yields the best results because they miss the nuance of your specific lectures or textbooks. For serious students, especially those leveraging digital input like an Apple Pencil, having a truly custom study tool is essential.

  • Instantly convert unstructured notes into structured questions.
  • Ensure 100% relevance to your study materials, not broad topics.
  • Integrate scheduling algorithms proven by educational psychology.

This AI flashcard app bridges the gap between creation and learning, offering a smarter alternative to manually typing out every concept from your digitized handwritten notes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common queries regarding our AI generation process.

How does the AI generate questions from my uploaded documents?

The AI analyzes the textual and structural elements within your files (PDFs, images, etc.) to determine primary concepts, definitions, and relationship summaries, transforming dense text into focused Q&A formats.

What types of files can I upload to generate flashcards?

You can upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX files, and standard image formats like JPG or PNG. This supports digitizing everything from scanned textbook pages to photos of handwritten lecture notes.

Is this AI tool better than using pre-made decks found online?

Yes, because pre-made decks cover general knowledge. Our tool ensures the flashcards are hyper-specific to the exact material you uploaded or the prompt you provided, guaranteeing relevance for your upcoming assessment.

Is there a cost associated with using the AI flashcard generator?

The app is free to try, allowing you to generate a set number of cards to experience the quality. Paid plans unlock significantly more generation credits and access to our more advanced, high-capacity AI model.
