Ashki β AI-Powered Study Companion (Bring Your Own API Key)
Ashki adds a sleek AI chat side panel to Anki so you can get help understanding
your flashcards without ever leaving the review screen. No subscription, no
markup on tokens β just plug in your own API key and go.
FEATURES
π¬ Chat about any card
Ask questions about the card you're studying and get clear, tutor-style
explanations. Ashki reads the card's fields automatically so you don't have
to copy/paste anything.
π Bring your own API key
Works with OpenAI, Anthropic (Claude), Google Gemini, or any OpenAI-compatible
endpoint (Ollama, LM Studio, Groq, Together AI, etc.) for local/self-hosted
models. Your key is stored locally and never leaves your machine or passes
through any third-party server.
π Convo β Notes
Turn a chat conversation into clean, textbook-style study notes with one
click, then save them straight to a field on the card.
β¨ Generate flashcards
Paste in a block of text (lecture notes, a textbook excerpt) and have Ashki
turn it into new Basic or Cloze cards, ready to add to your deck.
π Voice mode
Talk to Ashki instead of typing β hold a hotkey or toggle auto-listen and
get transcribed, hands-free Q&A while reviewing.
π¨ Customizable
Light, dark, or fully custom color themes; configurable quick-action buttons
for prompts you use often; adjustable side panel width and global hotkey.
π Privacy-respecting
No accounts, no telemetry, no ads. All requests go directly from your
computer to your chosen AI provider using your own key.
