No credit card required

Smarter Studying, Built on Cognitive Science

Our tool automates the most tedious parts of studying, focusing your energy on active recall and retention.

Universal Document Ingestion

Seamlessly upload large documents, including PDFs, PowerPoints, and images. Our AI extracts key information, eliminating the need to copy-paste notes.

Optimized Spaced Repetition

Cards are scheduled using proven learning algorithms. We prioritize what you are about to forget, ensuring efficient long-term memory consolidation.

Set Target Exam Dates

Input your exam deadline, and the system adjusts the review cadence to ensure peak recall readiness precisely when you need it most.

Secure Sharing Capabilities

Instantly share your generated decks with classmates or study groups using a simple, secure public link, fostering collaborative learning.

Go From Document to Mastery in Three Steps

We designed the process to be intuitive, allowing you to focus purely on learning rather than tool configuration.

  1. 1

    Upload Your Source Material

    Upload your study notes, textbook chapters, lecture slides (PDF, DOCX, PPTX), or even clear images containing text.

  2. 2

    AI Generates Flashcards

    Our advanced model analyzes the content, identifying core facts and concepts, and instantly formats them into atomic question-and-answer cards.

  3. 3

    Review and Schedule

    Begin practicing immediately. The system automatically schedules reviews based on your retention rate and any target exam date you set.

Why AI-Powered Flashcards Outperform Manual Methods

Generating lowercase letter flashcards from your PDFs using AI is a paradigm shift in efficient studying. Instead of spending hours manually typing out definitions or concepts from lengthy documents, our tool extracts the essential knowledge points automatically. This process leverages expertise in educational technology to ensure the generated cards promote true active recall, which is far superior to passive reading. By immediately translating dense source material into structured review prompts, you accelerate the learning curve significantly.

  • Rapid conversion of lecture slides into study assets
  • Automated spaced repetition scheduling
  • Reducing cognitive load on note formatting
  • Focusing study time on high-yield information
  • Creating shared study sets instantly

Whether you are studying complex programming documentation, historical timelines, or specialized vocabulary, the fidelity of the AI extraction means you spend less time creating materials and more time internalizing the knowledge. Integrating this system into your existing study workflow, such as using a target exam date, ensures your preparation is systematic and focused.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers regarding document compatibility and pricing structure.

What file types can I upload to generate flashcards?

You can upload PDFs, Microsoft Word documents (DOCX), PowerPoint files (PPTX), and common image formats like JPG or PNG containing readable text.

How does the spaced repetition schedule work?

The schedule is adaptive, showing you cards you know well less often and difficult cards more frequently, maximizing retention efficiency based on retrieval practice.

Is the basic flashcard generation service truly free?

Yes, the core service is free, allowing you to upload materials and use standard flashcard generation. Paid tiers offer increased generation credits and access to a more advanced AI model.

Can I edit the flashcards after the AI generates them?

Currently, the app focuses on automated generation. You cannot manually edit cards once created, but you can generate new sets from revised source material.
