Frequently Asked Questions About Creation & Printing

Expert answers regarding the AI generation process and utility of the resulting study materials.

How exactly does the AI generate questions from my documents?

The AI identifies primary concepts, definitions, dates, and relationships within the uploaded text or images. It then automatically formulates challenging, targeted questions that require retrieval of these key pieces of information.

What types of files can I upload to create my flashcard decks?

We support major document types including PDF, DOCX, and PowerPoint presentations (PPTX). You can also upload image files containing handwritten notes or textbook excerpts for processing.
