Description

Ankisstant closes the loop between the questions you miss and the cards that fix them.

You bomb a question in your QBank. You know there's a card somewhere in your collection that covers it β€” but finding it, re-rating it, and making sure it comes back is enough friction that you never do. Ankisstant kills that friction.

The headline feature: Missed-Question capture

Get a question wrong in any QBank β€” UWorld, Amboss, your med school's, even a screenshot of a textbook MCQ. Capture it in one click (text or screenshot) and AI finds the matching cards in your own deck. Re-rate them as Again so the scheduler surfaces them tomorrow, with the question stem appended for context. Ten seconds, never leaving Anki.

One connected workflow

Capture is one corner of a single loop. Everything feeds one Knowledge Gaps queue:

  • QBank with Claude β€” capture misses (above), with a daily heatmap on the deck browser.
  • Knowledge Gaps β€” the hub. Gaps arrive from captured misses, manual notes, or the Analyse LO helper. Send any gap to Browse or Create.
  • Browse with Claude β€” describe a topic in plain English; AI builds the Anki search terms, runs them, and you bulk-tag / unsuspend the hits. Search by note or by tag.
  • Create with Claude β€” when no card exists yet, draft cloze cards from a topic, text, a URL, or attached PDFs / PowerPoints. Review each before adding.

AI provider β€” pick what works for you

Ankisstant works with multiple AI backends. You need one:

  • ChatGPT, Claude.ai, or any web AI β†’ Paste import (built-in) β€” Free
  • A Google account β†’ Gemini free tier β€” Free*
  • Claude Pro / Max β†’ Claude CLI β€” Covered by sub
  • Want fully offline / private β†’ Ollama (local) β€” Free
  • Pay-as-you-go β†’ Anthropic or Gemini API β€” Cents/session

ChatGPT Plus β‰  API access. Plus is a chatgpt.com subscription, not API credits. Use the paste import path instead.

Gemini free tier*: Free tier prompts may be used by Google to train its models. Upgrade to paid or use Ollama if that's a concern.

A first-launch wizard walks you through picking and testing your provider. Setup guides for each path are on GitHub.

Requirements

  • An AI provider (see table above β€” no-cost options available)
  • Anki 2.1.50+. v3 / FSRS scheduler recommended for correct missed-Q re-grading

Built with AnKing-style cloze cards in mind, but works with any deck and notetype.

Privacy

Your collection stays local. Only what you explicitly hand to a tool is sent to your AI provider (Browse sends search terms, not cards). No telemetry.

README

Ankisstant

Four tools for Anki. Close the gap between what you miss and what you study.

Miss a question in your QBank β†’ Ankisstant finds the matching cards in your own deck, re-rates them so you see them tomorrow, and logs the gap. From there, browse by topic or create new cards β€” all without leaving Anki.

Get started β€” pick your setup

Before anything else, pick how Ankisstant connects to AI. You need one of these:

I have… Guide Cost
ChatGPT (Plus or free) or any web AI Paste import Free
A Google account Gemini free tier Free*
Claude Pro or Max Claude CLI Covered by sub
Want offline / full privacy Ollama (local) Free, ~15 min setup
Pay-as-you-go Anthropic API or Gemini API Cents/session

ChatGPT Plus β‰  API access. ChatGPT Plus is a subscription to chatgpt.com β€” it does not include API credits. If you have ChatGPT, use the paste import path.

Gemini free tier*: Free tier prompts may be used by Google to improve its models. See the Gemini guide for details and the paid-tier option.

Confirmed-working providers: Gemini, the Claude API (Anthropic), the Claude CLI, and no-AI paste import are the tested, supported paths. OpenAI and Ollama are implemented but not yet confirmed end-to-end β€” use them at your own risk and please report back.

Gemini model note: on the free tier only Gemini 2.5 Flash has quota β€” Gemini 2.0 Flash and Gemini 2.5 Pro return 429 limit: 0 for free-tier keys. Ankisstant defaults to 2.5 Flash and will auto-correct an old saved default on upgrade.

Not sure where to start? Gemini free tier β€” five minutes, no payment.

What it does

QBank with Claude

Capture a missed question (text or screenshot) from any source β€” UWorld, Amboss, your med school's QBank. Claude finds the matching cards in your own deck and re-rates them as Again so the scheduler surfaces them tomorrow. The question stem is appended for context. Ten seconds, never leaving Anki.

A daily heatmap on the deck browser shows your capture habit at a glance.

Inspired by Dr Patrick Lee's approach to active recall and gap-targeted review.

Knowledge Gaps

The hub. Gaps arrive from missed questions, manual notes, or the Analyse LO helper (paste a learning objective; Claude flags what your cards don't cover). From any gap, jump straight to Browse or Create.

Browse with Claude

Describe a topic in plain English. Claude generates the Anki search terms, runs them against your deck, and lets you bulk-tag and unsuspend the hits. Search by note text or by tag.

Create with Claude

When no card exists yet, draft cloze cards from a topic, pasted text, a URL, or an attached PDF / PowerPoint. Review every card before it's added.

Install

  1. Install from AnkiWeb (paste the addon code in Tools β†’ Add-ons β†’ Get Add-ons), or grab ankisstant.ankiaddon from a GitHub release and use Tools β†’ Add-ons β†’ Install from file…
  2. Restart Anki. A setup wizard walks you through picking your provider.

Requires Anki 2.1.50+. The v3 / FSRS scheduler is recommended so missed-Q re-grading schedules correctly.

Privacy

  • No telemetry. Period.
  • Your collection stays local β€” only what you explicitly hand to a tool is sent to your AI provider (Browse sends search terms, not cards; Create sends the text or PDF you attach).
  • API keys are stored in this profile's meta.json only, never in version-controlled files.

Credits

  • Dr Patrick Lee β€” medical education and spaced repetition inspiration.
  • Review Heatmap (addon 1771074083) β€” the original Anki heatmap addon for tracking your daily review habit. Ankisstant's heatmap tracks QBank captures specifically; Review Heatmap tracks your reviews. They complement each other.
