Make flashcards from your sources: pick the kind, check the settings, and they're ready in a minute.
Choosing Flashcards, checking the settings, generating, then opening the finished set.

The kinds

  • Flashcards: two-sided cards, ready for Recall.
  • Multiple choice: questions with explanations and citations.
  • Fill in the blank: key terms and definitions, with the word taken out.
  • Written test: long-answer questions, marked against a model answer.
  • Teach-back: explain a concept aloud and get asked about what you missed (guide).
  • Notes and Summary: reading material, written from your sources.

Make one

  1. Tick the sources to use.

    All ready sources are ticked to begin with.
  2. Click the kind you want.

    Its settings open in a small window before anything is made.
  3. Choose the settings.

    How many items (or Auto), the Difficulty, what to emphasise (recall of facts, applying them, or analysis), any instructions in your own words, and the language.
  4. Generate.

    It takes about a minute. The card shows that it's working, and the new set appears in the sidebar under Study material when it's ready.

Common questions

Which kind should I make first?

Flashcards or a multiple-choice quiz. Answering questions from memory is the most effective way to study, and everything you answer feeds Recall.

Can I make study material from just one lecture?

Yes. Untick the sources you don't want in the Workspace before you generate.

Is the material always correct?

Every question is checked against your sources before you see it, but it's still written by AI. If something surprises you, check it against your notes; each item links back to where it came from.
