Instant AI Flashcards: Ditch Manual GoodNotes Prep

Stop wasting time manually typing questions into GoodNotes. Upload your lecture slides or provide a text prompt, and our AI instantly creates optimized, spaced-repetition flashcards for you.

No credit card required

The Smarter Alternative to Manual Note Conversion

We replace tedious input methods with powerful automation, ensuring your study time is spent recalling information, not organizing it.

Convert Any Source Material Instantly

Upload PDFs, PowerPoint slides, or even images of handwritten notes. Our AI parses complex information directly into question-and-answer formats, eliminating manual transcription.

Optimize Retention with Cognitive Science

Unlike static decks, our system incorporates intelligent spaced-repetition scheduling. Cards you struggle with reappear sooner, leveraging proven algorithms for long-term memory.

Study Confidence with Custom Control

Generate the initial deck, then refine every card in your own words. Set your target exam date, and let the system create a focused study timeline leading up to the test.

From Lecture Notes to Mastered Concepts in 3 Steps

Move beyond slow, application-specific note imports. Leverage general AI power for superior study materials.

  1. 1

    Input Your Knowledge Base

    Choose your input: Upload your relevant DOCX, PDF, or image files, or simply type a detailed prompt describing the topic you need to study.

  2. 2

    AI Extraction & Deck Generation

    Our advanced model analyzes your content, intelligently extracting key concepts and structuring them into high-quality flashcard pairs, complete with suggested spaced-repetition intervals.

  3. 3

    Review, Refine, and Schedule

    Review the generated deck, make any personal edits for clarity, and set your upcoming exam date. Start studying immediately using our active recall interface.

Why Relying on Manual Flashcard Creation is Obsolete

When preparing for high-stakes assessments, the method you use to create your study tools matters as much as the material itself. Manually building flashcards in apps like GoodNotes is time-consuming and often results in static, repetitive learning aids. Our AI flashcard generator provides a significant academic advantage by automating extraction and integrating cognitive science principles.

  • Skip manual formatting and input errors.
  • Ensure comprehensive coverage based on uploaded documents.
  • Benefit from proven spaced repetition algorithms for deeper mastery.

Focus your energy on understanding difficult concepts, not on the mechanical task of data entry. This technology accelerates the path from consumption of material to confident recall.

Frequently Asked Questions About AI Study Tools

Get clarity on how our generative AI engine enhances your study workflow compared to traditional methods.

How does the AI generate questions from my uploaded files?

The AI analyzes the text structure of your PDFs or documents, identifying core concepts, definitions, and relationships. It then formulates targeted questions that require active recall to answer, prioritizing high-yield information.

What types of files can I upload for flashcard generation?

You can upload standard educational formats including PDF, DOCX, and Microsoft PowerPoint files. You can also upload images (like scanned textbook pages or presentation screenshots) for text extraction.

Is this method superior to making flashcards directly inside GoodNotes?

Yes, significantly. While GoodNotes excels at note-taking, our tool automates the creation process and integrates intelligent scheduling (spaced repetition), which is crucial for measurable knowledge retention that manual entry lacks.

Is there a cost associated with generating AI flashcards?

The app is free to start, allowing you to experience the core generation features. We offer a paid subscription for users who require higher monthly credit limits and access to our most advanced, high-fidelity AI model.
