No credit card required

From Passive Viewing to Active Mastery

Leverage proven cognitive science methods integrated directly into your personalized study workflow.

Extract from Any Visual Source

Process screenshots of key diagrams, upload slide decks referenced in the video, or directly prompt the AI based on lecture concepts you just absorbed.

Cognitive Spaced Repetition

Our system schedules reviews using proven spaced repetition techniques, ensuring concepts learned from the video stick long-term, moving beyond simple memorization.

Customized for Your Exam Success

Edit every generated card to ensure absolute alignment with your specific curriculum, and utilize our scheduling feature to target your exam date perfectly.

Three Simple Steps to Smarter Studying

Transforming complex lecture material into scheduled review sessions takes minutes, not hours.

  1. 1

    1. Provide Input Source

    Either upload relevant images/notes from the video (like slides or key diagrams) or type a detailed prompt describing the video content you studied.

  2. 2

    2. Let the AI Analyze

    Our sophisticated model processes your source material, identifying core concepts, definitions, and relationships to build high-utility Q&A pairs tailored to the source.

  3. 3

    3. Review and Schedule

    Review your custom deck, fine-tune wording if necessary, and set your target exam date to activate adaptive spaced repetition scheduling for optimal recall.

Why AI is Essential for Video-Based Learning

Mastering complex topics covered in lecture videos requires more than passive review. Leveraging our AI to turn video content into flashcards integrates active recall directly into your workflow.

  • Bypasses superficial learning inherent in re-watching content.
  • Ensures deep retention of critical concepts extracted directly from your study sessions.
  • Saves significant time compared to manual transcription and card creation.

This smart approach, rooted in educational psychology, provides the authoritative study material you need, instantly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers about converting lecture material into study aids.

How does the AI generate questions from video context?

The AI analyzes the text you provide (transcripts, notes, or prompts) to identify foundational concepts, definitions, and relationships, formulating targeted questions designed for active recall.

What file formats can I use if I only have stills from the video?

You can upload images (like PNG or JPG screenshots of slides) or PDFs containing key text. If you only have raw concepts, use the text prompt option to describe the material.

Why is an AI-generated deck better than searching for pre-made video study sets?

Pre-made decks cover generic material. Our AI creates personalized flashcards exactly matching the emphasis and depth found within your specific lecture materials, leading to better exam performance.

Is creating flashcards from my lecture notes permanently free?

The core feature set, including limited daily generations, is completely free to use forever. Paid plans unlock higher daily generation limits and access to our most advanced AI models.
