AnkiGPT is a tool that leverages GPT-3.5 or GPT-4 by OpenAI to generate flashcards from lecture slides or text input. Users can easily export the generated flashcards to Anki for effective learning. The tool allows users to edit, delete, and share flashcards, as well as generate mnemonics. AnkiGPT supports nearly all languages and ensures user privacy by not using submitted content for AI training. While powerful, the tool has limitations such as occasional errors in generated flashcards and challenges with mathematical equations. AnkiGPT is designed specifically for Anki flashcard app integration and encourages users to review and verify flashcard information for accuracy.

How does AnkiGPT work?

AnkiGPT first detects the language of the input. Then it splits the text into multiple sections and sends multiple requests to GPT (ChatGPT) model to generate flashcards with AI. The generated flashcards are then displayed in the browser and can be exported to Anki.

FAQ

Is the source code of AnkiGPT public?

Yes, the source code of the client for AnkiGPT is public and can be accessed by anyone interested. You can explore or even contribute to the project by visiting the GitHub repository (nilsreichardt/ankigpt). However, it's important to note that while the client's code is open, the backend (including the prompts) is closed source. We greatly value community input and appreciate all contributions to improve AnkiGPT.

Which languages are supported?

AnkiGPT is designed to be a globally accessible tool, and as such, it supports nearly all languages. This broad language coverage allows users from various linguistic backgrounds to utilize AnkiGPT effectively. However, the level of support might vary depending on the language due to complexities in language structures and available datasets. We are consistently working on improving our support for all languages to ensure the best user experience possible.

Which model is used for AnkiGPT?

AnkiGPT primarily utilizes the GPT-3.5 by OpenAI model to generate flashcards, offering a seamless integration of advanced AI technology for effective learning. For users who opt for the AnkiGPT Plus version, they gain the enhanced capability to generate up to 150 flashcards per month using the more advanced GPT-4 model, ensuring even more sophisticated and nuanced content creation.

Is the content from my submitted lecture slides used for AI training?

No, your submitted content is not used for AI training. AnkiGPT leverages GPT models from OpenAI, which have a strong commitment to user privacy. OpenAI do not use customer-submitted data via their API to train or improve their models (Source: API data usage policies). Your lecture slides content is only processed to create flashcards and is not used for any other purposes, ensuring your information remains private and secure.

Does AnkiGPT work with other flashcard apps than Anki?

As of now, AnkiGPT is designed specifically to work with the Anki flashcard app and we currently have no plans to extend support to other flashcard applications. This is to ensure the highest level of integration and functionality with Anki, thus providing an optimal user experience. We encourage users to utilize AnkiGPT with the Anki app for the best performance and reliability.

What are the current limitations?

While AnkiGPT is a powerful tool, it does have a few limitations to keep in mind:

  • Firstly, remember that AI, including AnkiGPT, is not infallible. There will be occasional errors in the generated flashcards, as with any AI technology. Always review your flashcards for accuracy.

  • Secondly, GPT models, at the current stage of development, aren't particularly adept at handling mathematical equations and formulas. This might impact the quality of flashcards in these areas.

  • Lastly, for users who utilize the PDF input feature, please note that it currently only processes text. Any images, including diagrams and pictures in the PDF, will be ignored.

We're continually working on refining and expanding AnkiGPT's capabilities to improve your learning experience. Stay tuned for future updates and enhancements.

Is it possible that the flashcards have incorrect information?

Yes, it's possible that the flashcards generated by AnkiGPT may contain inaccuracies. Even with its advanced technology, AI is not perfect and can occasionally produce errors. Therefore, AnkiGPT should be used as an assistant to your study process, not a replacement for creating your own flashcards. We recommend that users always review and cross-verify the information on the flashcards to ensure accuracy. We're continually working to improve the reliability and precision of our tool, but human oversight remains an important part of the process to guarantee quality learning outcomes.

Is AnkiGPT as GPT available?

Yes, AnkiGPT is available as a custom GPT. Custom GPTs were introduced by OpenAI in November 2023, see Introducing GPTs. Note, however, that using AnkiGPT as a GPT requires a ChatGPT Plus subscription. Otherwise, AnkiGPT as a GPT is completely free and there are no usage limits.

Advantages of using AnkiGPT as a GPT:

  • Create unlimited flashcards without buying AnkiGPT Plus
  • Create unlimited flashcards with GPT-4
  • Create flashcards (besides the text & PDF input) from images (e.g. screenshots of lecture slides)

Disadvantages of using AnkiGPT as a GPT:

  • You need a ChatGPT Plus subscription
  • ChatGPT has a limited context windows, which means that GPT can only create 10 flashcards per message (you can ask for more flashcards when GPT is done)

Disclaimer

Please note that AnkiGPT is not affiliated with Anki or OpenAI. AnkiGPT is a third-party tool that utilizes the OpenAI API (GPT / ChatGPT) to generate flashcards. AnkiGPT is not responsible for any errors or inaccuracies in the generated flashcards. We recommend that users always review and cross-verify the information on the flashcards to ensure accuracy.
