Frequently Asked Questions About AI Study Generation
Understand how our generation technology works to build your optimal study experience.
How does the AI generate questions from my uploaded documents?
The AI scans the text structure to identify key terms, definitions, and relationships. It then formulates focused, atomic questions designed to test conceptual understanding rather than simple rote memorization.
What file types can I upload to start generating my deck?
We support major formats including PDF, DOCX, and PowerPoint files. You can also upload images of handwritten notes or diagrams, or simply type instructions directly into the prompt box.
If I need a specific format, are these AI cards better than a Canva template?
Yes. While a template provides design structure, our AI provides dynamic, content-aware learning optimization. The AI ensures the *content* is optimized for recall, which is the true goal of flashcards.
Is there a cost associated with using the AI generation features?
The core generation tool is available on our free tier, which includes a set number of credits. Paid plans unlock premium AI models and significantly higher monthly generation credits for intensive study periods.
