  • Instant creation time, saving hours of manual formatting.
  • Automatic integration of scientifically proven spaced recall algorithms.

Whether preparing for a comprehensive final or mastering a new technical skill, leveraging technology to automate the creation process lets you focus on deep understanding and application, preparing you for success.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about using AI to transform your study materials.

How does the AI determine what makes a good question from my uploaded PDF?

The AI analyzes text structure, heading hierarchy, and sentence complexity. It targets definitions, key processes, and relationships between concepts to formulate testable questions.

Beyond PDFs, what other inputs can I use to generate my study sets?

You can upload DOCX, common PowerPoint formats, or even paste text directly. Additionally, image uploads are supported, allowing you to digitize notes instantly.

Is creating flashcards from my own materials better than buying a pre-made deck?

Yes, because the content is hyper-specific. A pre-made deck covers general knowledge; an AI-generated deck covers your specific lecture points and required readings for your assessment.

Is there a limit to how many flashcards I can generate for free?

The basic usage tier is free, allowing you to begin transforming your PDF notes into flashcards immediately. Paid plans unlock higher generation limits and access to our most advanced reasoning models.
