Frequently Asked Questions

Get clarity on how our AI technology leverages your specific files for optimal learning.

How does the AI generate questions from my PDF content?

The AI scans document structure, highlights key headings and defined terms, and uses context prediction models to formulate atomic question/answer pairs that test understanding rather than just rote memorization.

What types of files can I upload to generate my AI flashcards?

You can upload standard academic formats including PDF, DOCX, and PowerPoint files. You can also input study material via direct text entry or by uploading relevant images of notes.

Is using these AI-generated decks superior to relying on pre-made flashcard sets?

Absolutely. Pre-made sets often miss nuances specific to your instructor or exam focus. Our AI ensures 100% relevance because the cards are built exclusively from the material you provided.

What exactly is included in the free version of the PDF flashcard maker?

The free tier allows users to generate a substantial number of flashcards from uploaded materials or prompts, giving you full access to the core spaced repetition system before deciding on a premium plan.
