Don't waste hours typing notes; upload your PDFs, documents, or simply describe your topic. Our AI instantly converts your study materials into structured flashcards ready for active recall, perfectly optimized for your Obsidian workflow.
No credit card required
Transform Any Material Into Smart Study Assets
We integrate powerful cognitive science techniques directly into your existing knowledge base workflow, ensuring maximum retention with minimal effort.
Universal Upload & Processing
Instantly process notes from PDF, DOCX, PowerPoint, or even images. If you have existing lecture slides or textbook scans, the AI extracts the core concepts faster than manual entry.
AI-Powered Concept Extraction
Go beyond simple Q&A. Our advanced model generates high-utility flashcards that test understanding of relationships and definitions, mimicking expert curation for better active recall.
Integrated Spaced Repetition
Embed your learning schedule directly. Set your target exam date, and our system optimizes review intervals based on spaced repetition algorithms, crucial for long-term memory encoding.
Seamless Sharing & Collaboration
Need study buddies? Generate a public link for any deck to share curated knowledge instantly with classmates or study groups, ensuring everyone studies from the same trusted source.

Assign a target date, activate spaced repetition scheduling, and start practicing immediately to lock in knowledge effectively before your next milestone.
Mastering Knowledge Retention with AI for Obsidian Users
Creating flashcards in Obsidian by hand is a significant drain on study time, often pulling focus away from deeper understanding. Using flashcards in Obsidian effectively requires atomic concepts paired with rigorous spaced repetition scheduling, something manual creation rarely achieves consistently. Our AI generator solves this by automating the synthesis of complex information from your existing documents into study-ready formats. This preserves the speed of digital note-taking while adding the proven effectiveness of evidence-based learning techniques like active recall.
- Converting dense legal statutes into concept checks.
- Generating chemistry reaction cards from lab reports.
- Automating vocabulary lists from foreign language texts.
- Creating historical event timelines using imported lecture notes.
For power users familiar with Obsidian's environment, this tool acts as the crucial intermediary layer, taking unstructured data—the raw input from your research phase—and transforming it into the structured review material necessary for high-stakes performance. Focus your energy on synthesizing new ideas, not reforming old ones into flashcard formats.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers regarding file compatibility and pricing for your AI study assistant.
Can I edit the flashcards after the AI generates them?
Currently, the focus is on rapid generation based on source material. While the AI creates highly accurate cards, direct in-app editing functionality is reserved for future updates. Use the input prompt for precise adjustments.
How does the spaced repetition scheduling work?
You select an optional exam date. The system then uses proven learning algorithms to schedule reviews incrementally, showing difficult cards more often to maximize long-term retention.
Is this tool truly free to start using?
Yes, a robust free tier is available immediately, allowing you to experience the core benefits of AI generation and spaced review. Paid plans unlock higher credit limits and advanced AI models.
What specific input formats do you support besides text prompts?
We fully support uploading PDF documents, DOCX files, PowerPoint presentations, and image files (like screenshots of handwritten notes or diagrams).
