A fork of Anki Terminator V2 by Shigeyuki, extended with native Open Evidence integration and a full UI overhaul — built specifically for medical
students using Anki for USMLE and clinical review.
Open Evidence fork by Alaa Taha & Jerry Shen
⚕️ Open Evidence Integration
Open Evidence is a medical AI trained on peer-reviewed literature. This fork embeds it directly into the Anki sidebar so you never need to leave the app.
• 5 one-click USMLE preset queries — instantly ask about the current card:
– Mechanism: pathophysiology and mechanism of action
– Board Pearl: high-yield exam facts
– Distinguish: how to tell this apart from similar conditions
– Presentation: classic signs, symptoms, and clinical picture
– Management: workup, treatment, and follow-up
• Auto-send — automatically fires a query every time you flip a card, so context loads before you even think to ask
• Per-card chat sessions — each card maintains its own conversation history; switching cards doesn't lose your thread
• Configurable default preset — pick which query fires automatically via a combo box in the toolbar
Requires a free Open Evidence account. Log in once in the embedded browser and the session is remembered.
🤖 All Original AI Modes Included
Everything from the original Anki Terminator is still here:
ChatGPT · Claude · Google Gemini · Perplexity · DeepSeek · Grok · DuckDuckGo AI · Bing Chat · ImageFX · and more
Use any AI mode from the same sidebar — switch between them instantly with the AI picker button.
🎨 UI Overhaul
• Accent colour bar for quick visual mode identification
• Animated loading spinner while AI responds
• AI name displayed on the toggle button so you always know which mode is active
• Streamlined toolbar shared across all AI modes
⌨️ How to Use
- Click the AI button in Anki's top toolbar (or press Ctrl+G) to open the sidebar
- Click the AI button in the top-left of the sidebar to open the AI picker
- Select Open Evidence (or any other AI)
- For Open Evidence: click a preset button to query the current card, or enable auto-send for hands-free use
⚠️ Notes
• This is a fork — it conflicts with the original Anki Terminator V2 (do not install both)
• Open Evidence requires you to be logged in via the embedded browser
• All other AI modes (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) require you to be logged into those services as well
