No credit card required

Smarter Studying Starts Here

Leverage cognitive science principles without the manual effort. Our AI focuses on extracting core concepts so you can focus only on active recall.

Universal File Ingestion

Upload your lecture slides directly from PPTX, PDFs, or DOCX files. If you don't have a file, just type your topic and let the AI generate the source material for you.

Spaced Repetition Scheduling

Forget manual scheduling. Our integrated learning algorithm tracks your performance and prompts you to review cards right before you forget them, maximizing long-term retention.

Exam Date Integration

Set your target exam date, and the system intelligently structures your review schedule to ensure you cover all necessary material leading up to the big day.

Effortless Sharing

Collaborate or share your generated decks instantly with classmates using a simple public link, streamlining group study sessions.

From Presentation to Mastery in Three Steps

Our streamlined workflow ensures you spend minimal time on setup and maximum time on learning. This process applies whether you upload a file or use a text prompt.

  1. 1

    1. Input Your Source Material

    Either upload your PowerPoint, PDF, or Word document, or simply type a prompt describing the subject you need to study (e.g., 'Key concepts in Organic Chemistry').

  2. 2

    2. AI Generation & Scheduling

    Our engine processes the content, extracts key facts, and formats them into high-quality flashcards. Optionally, set your desired exam date for scheduling optimization.

  3. 3

    3. Master Through Review

    Begin practicing immediately using active recall techniques powered by spaced repetition. Reviewing is scheduled automatically to build lasting memory.

Why Automated PowerPoint Flashcards Beat Manual Note-Taking

To make flashcards from PowerPoint AI tools efficiently means overcoming the biggest hurdle in serious studying: content transformation. Most students waste crucial hours manually transferring key points from slides into physical or digital cards. Our platform eliminates this overhead entirely. By intelligently parsing complex PPT slides, we ensure that crucial definitions, formulas, and concepts are captured accurately, allowing you to immediately engage in active recall techniques essential for deep learning.

  • Creating AI flashcards from complex visual slides
  • Generating study material for last-minute revisions
  • Optimizing review schedules based on specific deadlines
  • Converting static lecture notes into interactive quizzes
  • Sharing advanced study sets with study groups instantly

For college courses relying heavily on professor-created slides, leveraging this technology is a significant competitive advantage. We support both a powerful free tier for basic needs and a paid plan offering access to advanced generative models for nuanced, complex topics, ensuring every student can find a path to smarter studying.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers regarding file support and the AI generation process.

Can I upload an older .ppt format instead of .pptx?

Yes, our system is designed to handle various Microsoft PowerPoint formats, including older .ppt files, alongside modern .pptx.

What happens if my PowerPoint slides contain images or graphs?

Currently, the AI focuses primarily on extracting text-based information such as bullet points, titles, and notes sections for card generation.

How accurate is the concept extraction from the PowerPoint slides?

The base model provides high accuracy for structured text. For highly technical or ambiguous content, upgrading to the paid tier unlocks a more advanced model for superior comprehension.

Is setting an exam date mandatory for using the spacing feature?

No, setting an exam date is optional. If you skip it, the system defaults to a standard, optimal spacing schedule based on basic cognitive load principles.
