Description

💡 Anki Hint — AI Multiple Choice Cloze Hints

Stuck on a tricky cloze card and need a subtle nudge without spoiling the full answer? Anki Hint converts your cloze deletions into interactive multiple-choice questions on demand.

Using Google Gemini AI, Anki Hint analyzes your card's context to generate realistic, high-yield distractors matched in grammar, category, and difficulty.

✨ Key Features

  • On-Demand Multiple Choice: Press H (or click the 💡 Hint button) during review to reveal 3–5 multiple-choice options.
  • Smart AI Distractors: Uses Google Gemini (gemini-2.5-flash by default) to create plausible, high-yield distractors for medical, language, STEM, and law decks.
  • Fast Keyboard Selection: Hit 1–4 or A–D to test your choice with instant visual feedback (green for correct, red for incorrect).
  • Zero-Latency Local Caching: Generated hints are saved locally so repeat reviews load instantly with zero additional API calls.
  • Offline & Fallback Support: If you're offline or studying without an API key, Anki Hint automatically provides smart local distractors.
  • No Pip Dependencies: Fully self-contained using native HTTP requests — no tricky Python packages to install.

⚙️ Configuration & Options

Open Tools → Anki Hint Settings... to customize:

  • Gemini API Key: Add your free Google Gemini API key (built-in connection test included).
  • Model Selection: Choose between gemini-2.5-flash, gemini-2.5-flash-lite, gemini-2.5-pro, etc.
  • Number of Choices: 3, 4, or 5 options.
  • Distractor Style: Challenging, Moderate, or Educational.
  • Hotkey: Rebind H to any key you prefer.

🚀 Quick Setup (1 Minute)

  1. Install the add-on and restart Anki.
  2. Go to Tools → Anki Hint Settings...
  3. Paste your free Google AI Studio API Key and click Test Connection.
  4. Start reviewing any Cloze card and press H!
