No credit card required

From Document to Deck: Smarter Studying Starts Here

We leverage cognitive science principles, integrated directly into your generated materials, ensuring efficient knowledge retention without tedious manual setup.

Universal File Ingestion

Effortlessly convert existing study materials. Upload PDFs, DOCX files, PowerPoint slides, or even image scans of notes directly into our system for instant processing.

AI-Powered Prompt Generation

If you don't have a document, simply ask the AI to create cards on any topic, from organic chemistry mechanisms to historical dates, ensuring you always have study material ready.

Optimized Spaced Repetition

Flashcards are automatically scheduled using advanced learning algorithms, showing you difficult concepts more frequently to lock in long-term memory retention.

Exam Date Scheduling

Set your target exam date, and the system intelligently structures your review sessions, ensuring peak preparedness exactly when you need it most.

Your Effortless Study Workflow in Three Steps

Ditch the hours spent creating study aids. Our process respects your time while maximizing learning effectiveness through immediate AI processing.

  1. 1

    Input Your Source Material

    Choose your method: upload your course documents (PDF, PPTX, DOCX) or type a specific learning topic prompt directly into the generator.

  2. 2

    AI Generates & Optimizes

    Our engine analyzes the content (or topic) and instantly generates atomic, effective flashcards, automatically embedding spacing intervals for recall practice.

  3. 3

    Study Smarter, Share Easily

    Begin reviewing immediately, set your personalized study schedule, or share your complete, optimized deck with classmates via a simple public link.

Why AI Flashcards Outperform Manual Office Methods

Stop trying to make flashcards with Microsoft Office. While tools like Word and PowerPoint allow basic formatting, they entirely lack the cognitive science principles necessary for effective learning. Our platform bypasses the manual creation headache entirely by focusing on active recall and intelligent scheduling. By analyzing uploaded lecture notes or generating material from scratch via prompting, we ensure every flashcard contributes maximally to your knowledge acquisition.

  • Generating cards based on course syllabi or textbooks.
  • Creating structured reviews for high-stakes examinations.
  • Utilizing shared study decks for group review sessions.
  • Reviewing material without needing specific software licenses.
  • Integrating spaced repetition directly into the study path.

For students already invested in specific ecosystems, know that uploading your finalized PPTX slides or Word study guides is faster and yields superior results compared to attempting to structure question-and-answer pairs manually within those applications. Focus your expertise on understanding the concepts, not formatting the review materials.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers regarding file compatibility, pricing, and leveraging AI for study preparation.

Can I truly upload PowerPoint files directly?

Yes. Our system processes native PowerPoint files (.pptx) and extracts key text and concepts to build your flashcard sets automatically.

Is there a cost associated with creating AI flashcards?

The app offers a robust free tier for new users. Paid plans unlock advanced AI models and grant higher monthly generation credits.

What makes these cards better than manually typing them?

The primary advantage is the integration of spaced repetition scheduling, which ensures concepts are reviewed at optimal intervals based on memory science, something manual methods lack.

Can I share the flashcard decks I generate?

Absolutely. You can generate a public link for any deck you create, allowing seamless sharing with study partners or classmates instantly.
