Inspired by the DeckSummary Add-On, AnkiTutor takes it one step further transforms your flashcards into AI-optimized markdown, PDF,HTML, or Plain-Text file, enabling instant, personalized study assistance from any AI agent you choose.
NOTE: After uploading the file, please tell the AI Agent to Read the file or say something like "I want to study", or tell it what course you're in
Highly recommend the md file, but plain text is better for less effort models
The Core Problem & Solution
Problem:
- Flashcards (Anki) are great for memorization but lead to isolated facts without context
- Students struggle to connect concepts and apply knowledge in new situations
- Manual study guide creation is time-consuming and error-prone
- Limited ability to generate practice questions and personalized study materials
Solution:
- Bridges the gap between flashcards and AI-powered learning
- Transforms your flashcards into clean, structured markdown that AI agents can process
- Enables you to paste your deck content into any AI agent (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, etc.)
- AI then generates: study guides, practice questions, concept maps, explanations, memory aids
How It Works (User Workflow)
Simple Workflow (No Template):
- Select deck β Choose fields (Front/Back/Custom) β Export as Markdown
- Copy and paste the .md file content into your preferred AI agent
- Ask the AI for study assistance (study guides, practice questions, explanations)
Advanced Workflow (With Prompt Templates):
- Create a custom prompt template once (e.g., "You are a medical tutor...")
- Load the template into AnkiTutor β Export β AI instructions automatically wrap your content
- Paste the entire output into any AI agent β Receive instant, customized study materials
Key Features:
- Field selection (Text, Extra, Custom fields)
- Image embedding (base64 encoded images)
- Multiple formats (Markdown β AI, HTML β Web, PDF β Print)
- Deduplication (removes duplicate cards automatically)
- Prompt templates with placeholders ({{CONTENT}}, {{DECK_NAME}}, {{CARD_COUNT}}, {{DATE}})
Benefits & Target Users
For Students:
- Deep understanding β Move beyond rote memorization
- Efficient studying β Generate practice materials instantly
- Time savings β Export entire decks in seconds
- Personalized learning β Custom prompts for your specific needs

For Specific Use Cases:
- Medical/NBME Students β Generate board exam questions, clinical reasoning practice
- Language Learners β Get example sentences, dialogues, vocabulary grouping
- Professional Exams β Customized prep materials, weak spot identification
- University Students β Transform any subject flashcards into comprehensive study guides
Why It's Better:
- Future-proof β Works with ANY AI agent (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity)
- Open format β Your data stays in markdown (accessible, editable)
- Flexible β Use prompt templates once, reuse across multiple exports
- Lightweight β No dependency on specific AI APIs or subscriptions
If using OpenEvidence as your model, use a plain text document, do not include the prompt when exporting, and instead use a dotflow
