Features

Problem: Learners have material in different formats and need to convert it into study resources.
How it works: Accepts PDFs, text files, photos of notes, and pasted notes; AI creates concept cards, flashcards, quiz questions, and step-by-step diagrams.
Result: A study deck organized into parts and ready for several study modes.
Why: Converts source material into multiple forms of practice without requiring learners to write every card manually.

Problem: Rereading alone may not reveal what a learner can recall or explain.
How it works: Offers seven modes: Roadmap, Learn, Flashcards, Quiz, Step by step, Interview, and Daily mission.
Result: Learners can practice the same deck in different ways and identify topics that need more work.
Why: Combines understanding, recall, prediction, process walkthroughs, and explaining ideas in learners’ own words.

Problem: Learners may forget material without a review schedule.
How it works: Uses FSRS to schedule flashcard reviews based on self-ratings; missed cards return sooner and well-known cards return later.
Result: A review queue that adapts to how well each card is remembered.
Why: Spaces retrieval practice according to estimated recall rather than requiring learners to plan every review.

Problem: It can be difficult to know what to study next or keep sessions manageable.
How it works: Creates a daily mission of about 20 minutes, mixing tasks such as learning concept cards, reviewing flashcards, and answering quiz questions.
Result: A clear set of study tasks for the day.
Why: Turns a deck into a concrete, time-bounded study plan.

Problem: Learners and teachers may need material in different languages or shared access to decks.
How it works: Writes cards in the source language or a selected supported language; teachers can share a class deck by link and see aggregate class progress.
Result: Study materials can be used across languages and shared with a class.
Why: Supports multilingual study and classroom use without requiring every student to create a deck.
