AnkiGPT

AnkiGPT is a web app that turns university lecture slides into flashcards and exports them to Anki, the spaced repetition flashcard program. Students upload a PDF of their slides, including password protected files, or paste text copied from a few slides, and the app generates a deck of question and answer cards that can be reviewed, edited and exported for revision. It is aimed at students who want to spend less time writing cards by hand. Generation options let the user set the number of cards, the language of the input and the model used, with the note that a stronger model produces better cards but takes longer; the app states that it primarily uses OpenAI's GPT models. Cards can be edited in place with automatic saving, liked or disliked to give feedback, and supplemented with mnemonics. A search feature helps check whether key topics from the slides were missed, and a tool converts text produced in ChatGPT into a CSV file for import. Input in any language is supported. The app reminds users that generated cards may contain errors and should be checked. The free tier allows up to 100 cards and 5 mnemonics a month, with input limited to 4,000 characters, and usage resets on the first of each month. AnkiGPT Plus removes the character limit and provides unlimited cards. The price of Plus is not shown in the publicly readable pages, as the checkout loads inside the app. AnkiGPT is built as a single page application, so its pricing and help content are only visible once the app loads in a browser. The service states that 1 percent of each purchase goes to carbon removal through Stripe Climate.
