Anki-GPT: Fix Leech Cards, AI Explanations & Card Maker

Stop failing the same cards.

Anki-GPT finds the cards you keep missing, shows why each one slips, and helps you rewrite it. Plus an AI tutor beside every card. Desktop Anki, no API key, 75 free AI answers.

Real Anki app with sample cards; waits trimmed.

New in 0.10: Untangle look-alikes (Beta)

• Keep mixing up two cards, like ser/estar, metoprolol/propranolol or ==/===? When Card Rescue finds look-alike confusion, Untangle shows the cards side by side, quotes the words that decide each answer, and gives the rule that tells them apart, plus a contrast table.
• Add cues to all pins each card's deciding cue onto its Back (one undo step), so it syncs to AnkiMobile and AnkiDroid. You can also select 2–3 cards in the Browser → right-click → Untangle with Anki-GPT.
• Each untangle uses 1 AI answer; reopening a saved one is free. Fair use: 15 untangles in the free trial, 70 a month on Plus, 180 on Pro.

Also recent: invite a friend and you both get 50 more free AI answers (0.9); a 30-second tour and an optional Pro plan with Rescue top 50 and Rescue Autopilot (0.8).

Anki-GPT Studio (Tools → Anki-GPT Studio…, or the banner on the Decks screen)

• Card Rescue for leech cards. Your most-failed cards, ranked from Anki's own review history (read-only). One click explains why a card keeps slipping (unclear question, too much at once, look-alike confusion, missing foundation, memorized without meaning, ambiguous answer, or it just needs time), the idea behind it and a memory hook. Then see a clearer card side by side with your original. Apply it, add it as a new card, or split it into smaller cards. Rescue top 10 (top 50 on Pro) diagnoses several cards and lets you review each fix with A / N / S / → keys.
• Make cards from anything. Paste a practice question you missed, lecture notes, a code snippet or a screenshot of a slide. Get 1 to 5 focused cards to edit before anything is added.
• Progress and exam planner. Streak, 12-week heatmap, true retention, cards matured, weak topics by deck, and an exam-date check of whether your new-card pace fits. Free and local, no AI request.

The tutor beside every card, redesigned

• Explain the current card in Simple, Exam or Deep mode, including image cards and diagrams. One-tap follow-ups: Simpler, Analogy, Quiz me, Ask.
• Make card turns the explanation you just read into new cards.
• Add to card pins the explanation into a field of the note, so it shows on AnkiMobile and AnkiDroid after sync.
• Keeps slipping · Rescue appears on cards you have forgotten 4+ times.
• Study keeps useful explanations for a short hidden-answer practice session.

Safe by design. Anki-GPT changes a card only when you click Apply, Add or Add to card, and every change can be undone with Edit → Undo. It never changes your review schedule. AI can be wrong: the original card is always shown beside a suggestion, so check important facts.

Pricing. Free to try: 75 AI answers, plus 50 more for each friend who joins with your invite code (up to 10), no API key and no sign-up. Explanations, follow-ups, Card Rescue diagnoses and card drafts each use one. Then Plus: $24/year ($2/month, billed yearly) or $3/month, with fair use of 5,000 AI answers per calendar month (UTC). Pro: $59/year or $8/month adds 20,000 AI answers a month, Rescue top 50 and Rescue Autopilot. Existing subscribers keep their plan and price. Cancel anytime from Settings → Manage subscription. Progress, Study, saved explanations and pinned notes stay free.

Install: Tools → Add-ons → Get Add-ons → 853364085 → restart Anki. Desktop Anki 2.1.65 or newer. The panel and Studio run in desktop Anki only; pinned explanations sync to AnkiMobile and AnkiDroid as part of the card. Saved explanations and source copies can be reopened offline without using an AI answer.

Your data and AI answers

Study explanations, original-card copies, practice history, diagnoses and Progress stay in your local Anki profile; review history is read locally and never uploaded in bulk. New AI requests send the relevant card text, images, questions and conversation context to the hosted service. A Card Rescue diagnosis sends that card's text, fields and tags, its review counts (such as lapses and recent Again presses) and up to three related cards from the same deck that were also failed recently. Rescue Autopilot (Pro; can be turned off in Studio) sends the same information for up to 10 newly struggling cards about once a week, in the background, and uses your monthly allowance. Untangle sends the selected cards' text, fields, tags, deck and note-type names. Make cards from anything sends the text and images you paste. Ask about this concept also sends that saved source and saved explanation, and ordinary explanations may include a small summary of your Study self-ratings for the current card. Request context and responses may be cached for up to 30 days.
