The Smart Way to Master Video Material
Our platform leverages advanced AI to distill key concepts from your source material, ensuring you focus only on what you need to know for exam success.
Source Material Flexibility
Don't be limited by format. Upload documents (PDF, DOCX, PPT) or input specific prompts derived from video content you've watched, and let the AI structure your review set.
Spaced Repetition Scheduling
Go beyond simple question-and-answer review. Our built-in learning algorithm manages when you see each card, maximizing long-term retention based on cognitive science principles.
Exam Date Optimization
Set a target exam date, and the system intelligently adjusts the review frequency of your flashcards to ensure peak recall precisely when you need it most.
Effortless Sharing
Collaborate with classmates instantly. Share your AI-generated flashcard decks with others using a simple, public sharing link for group study sessions.

Why Automated Flashcard Creation Beats Manual Note-Taking
To make flashcards from video content effectively requires significant time investment if done manually, often leading to passive review rather than true learning. CogniGuide automates the entire distillation process. By feeding the AI textual data derived from lectures—such as transcripts or presentation notes—you harness the power of immediate content synthesis. This capability directly supports superior study workflows because it eliminates the cognitive load associated with summarizing, allowing you to immediately engage in active recall practice, which is scientifically proven to build stronger memory pathways.
- Converting complex scientific papers into study sets
- Creating targeted review decks for online certification exams
- Generating question banks from chapter outlines (DOCX/PDF)
- Quickly generating material from raw presentation slides (PPT)
Students often struggle most with identifying which facts are truly essential for testing. Our tool excels here, transforming large data dumps into atomic, reviewable units. Furthermore, our integrated scheduling ensures that even material learned from an intensive video marathon adheres to optimal spaced repetition cycles, significantly improving mastery retention for high-stakes academic assessments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get quick answers about generating study materials and leveraging AI for better academic outcomes.
How do I provide the AI with content from a video?
Since we cannot directly process video files, you must first extract the transcript or use the presentation slides associated with the video. You then upload these documents or paste the text directly into our input tool.
Is there a cost associated with generating flashcards?
The application offers a robust free tier that allows significant usage. We also provide a paid plan for users requiring higher generation limits or access to our most advanced AI models.
Can I edit the flashcards after the AI generates them?
At the moment, the focus is on rapid, high-quality generation based on your input files. Direct editing functionality is not currently available, but we focus on ensuring initial accuracy through expert prompting.
What makes spaced repetition scheduling important?
Spaced repetition schedules reviews just before you are likely to forget the information, maximizing recall efficiency and moving knowledge from short-term to long-term memory permanently.
