    Upload Your Source Material

    Drag and drop your dense study notes, lecture slides, or textbook excerpts (PDF, DOCX, images) directly onto our platform.

  2. 2

    AI Extraction & Drafting

    Our specialized AI analyzes the content, identifies critical concepts, definitions, and relationships, drafting atomic flashcards optimized for active recall.

  3. 3

    Review and Schedule Learning

    Quickly review the generated deck, personalize edits if needed, set your target date, and begin studying with personalized spaced repetition scheduling.

Why AI-Generated Flashcards Beat Manual Decks

Creating effective study materials, especially complex PDF Anki flashcards, is time-consuming and prone to human error in question selection. Our AI solves this bottleneck by transforming dense academic text into targeted active recall prompts faster than you ever thought possible.

  • Instantaneous content extraction from proprietary source files.
  • Guaranteed adherence to spaced repetition best practices for memory.
  • Complete personalization based only on the notes you provide.

Leverage this technology to move past low-yield study habits and focus your energy where it counts: mastering difficult concepts identified by expert algorithms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers regarding content generation, file handling, and pricing structure.

How does the AI generate effective questions from my complex PDFs?

The AI uses advanced natural language processing to identify core concepts, definitions, contrasting ideas, and procedural steps within your text. It then structures these into direct question-and-answer pairs suitable for learning.

What file types other than PDF can I upload for card generation?

You can upload DOCX files, PowerPoint presentations (PPTX), images (PNG/JPG), or simply type detailed instructions or paste text directly via the prompt interface.

Is studying these AI-generated cards better than using pre-made Anki decks?

Yes, because pre-made decks cover general material. Our AI decks are tailored exclusively to the specific information found in *your* lectures and readings, ensuring 100% relevance to your upcoming assessments.

Is the PDF to flashcard generation feature completely free to start using?

We offer a completely free tier allowing you to test the power of the AI generator with a set number of monthly credits. Advanced users needing higher volume or premium AI models can upgrade easily.
