The Workflow

How It Works

Upload a highlighted PDF. The AI identifies what you've marked and generates cards around those areas, so your deck matches your study focus.

01

Reads Your Highlights

The AI detects highlighted passages and annotations in your PDF, and prioritizes those areas when generating cards.

02

One Fact per Card

Cards follow the atomicity principle — each card covers a single knowledge point, which is how Anki works best.

03

Review Before Export

Original text on the left, generated cards on the right. You can edit or delete any card before exporting.

04

Export to .apkg

Download a standard .apkg file. Import it into Anki on any device — desktop, mobile, or AnkiWeb.

What Makes This Different

You can absolutely use ChatGPT to make flashcards. Here's what we handle that a general-purpose chatbot doesn't.

Generic AI reads your entire PDF and generates cards for everything. We focus on what you've highlighted — the parts you decided are important. This means a smaller, more relevant deck instead of hundreds of cards you don't need.

What's in the Box

We don't generate 500 cards from a textbook. We generate 50 from your highlights.

Highlight Detection

AI reads highlighted passages in your PDF and focuses card generation on those areas.

Cloze Deletion

Generates {{c1::...}} fill-in-the-blank cards automatically where appropriate.

Source Traceability

Each card links back to the original page number, so you can verify the source.

Inline Editing

Edit any card before export. Fix wording, add context, or delete cards you don't need.

Cross-Device

Standard .apkg files work on Anki desktop, AnkiMobile, AnkiDroid, and AnkiWeb.

Privacy

Your documents are used only for card generation. They're not used for training and can be deleted anytime.

From Students Like You

Honest feedback from people who prep for the same exams you do.

Making physiology cards used to take me entire nights. Now I upload my highlighted First Aid and get a usable deck in minutes. Not perfect, but way faster than doing it by hand.

David

Medical Student, Class of 2027

The Cloze cards for legal rules are surprisingly good. I still review each one, but the source traceability makes it easy to check against the original text.

Rachel

Bar Exam Candidate

I tried doing this with ChatGPT for a while — too much reformatting. This is simpler: upload, review, export. The output isn't always perfect but it saves a lot of time.

Marcus

CPA Candidate

I like that it focuses on my highlights instead of generating cards for everything. My decks are smaller and more relevant.

Sofia G.

Medical Student

The split-screen review is really helpful. I can see the original text and fix anything the AI got wrong before exporting.

James W.

Law Student

The accounting-specific prompts are noticeably better than what I was getting from generic AI. Still needs the occasional edit, but much less work overall.
