Beyond Simple Review: Smarter Learning Algorithms

We integrate proven educational techniques directly into your study schedule, ensuring long-term retention without the guesswork.

Instant Generation from Any Source

Upload entire lecture slides (PPT/PDF/DOCX) or photos of textbook pages. Our AI extracts key concepts instantly, saving you hours otherwise spent on manual card creation.

Built-in Spaced Repetition Scheduling

Forget forgetting. Cards are automatically scheduled based on optimal intervals derived from learning algorithms, maximizing recall efficiency right before you need it.

Set Your Target Exam Date

Input your exam date, and the system adjusts the frequency of reviews leading up to that day, ensuring peak performance when it matters most.

Free & Accessible Study Aids

Access the core features completely free. Upgrade only if you need advanced models or higher generation volumes, keeping essential study power available to everyone.

The Fastest Way to Generate and Schedule Your Study Decks

Learning from flashcards is optimized when the creation process is automated. Follow these three simple steps to start your adaptive study session.

  1. 1

    1. Input Your Material or Topic

    Upload your source files (PDFs, slides, notes) or simply type a prompt like 'Explain quantum entanglement for beginners' into the text box.

  2. 2

    2. AI Generates & Schedules Cards

    Our powerful AI instantly processes the content, creating concise Q&A pairs optimized for active recall. Select your exam date if applicable.

  3. 3

    3. Start Learning & Sharing

    Begin reviewing immediately using the built-in spaced repetition system, or generate a public link to share the powerful, ready-to-use deck with classmates.

Optimizing Your Study Workflow for Maximum Retention

Learning how to learn from flashcards effectively is often more crucial than the material itself. This process, rooted in cognitive science, demands consistent active recall, which our AI tool automates. Instead of spending hours manually formatting notes into study aids, you upload complex documents—like dense academic papers or lengthy presentations—and receive structured, spaced repetition schedules instantly. This shift allows users to focus energy on the actual recall process rather than the laborious preparation phase.

  • Generating flashcards from lecture recordings transcriptions
  • Creating topic-specific recall questions via direct prompting
  • Utilizing spaced repetition for long-term memory encoding
  • Sharing study sets quickly with peer study groups
  • Adapting review schedules based on defined assessment dates

For high-stakes subjects, maximizing efficiency is key. Students frequently struggle when they don't know which concepts require more frequent review. By applying intelligent learning algorithms, our system identifies weak areas proactively, helping you master complex concepts like organic chemistry pathways or legal precedents far more efficiently than traditional rote memorization allows.

Frequently Asked Questions About AI Flashcard Generation

Find quick answers regarding file compatibility, scheduling, and pricing.

What file types can I upload to generate flashcards?

You can upload PDFs, DOCX files, PowerPoint presentations (PPT), and various image formats containing your study notes or textbook excerpts.

How does the spaced repetition scheduling work?

The system utilizes scientifically backed intervals based on successful recall rates, showing you difficult cards more often than easy ones as your exam date approaches.

Is there a cost associated with using the spaced repetition feature?

The core functionality, including basic generation and spaced repetition, is available on our free plan. The paid tier offers higher generation limits and access to a more advanced AI model.

Can I share the flashcards I create with friends?

Yes, you can easily generate a public sharing link for any deck you create, allowing colleagues or classmates to access the AI-generated study set instantly.
