Turn Notes into Flashcards and Quizzes with AI

From Raw Notes to Structured Study Cards

When you upload a document, Quizly’s parser first detects structural elements such as headings, bold terms, and bullet points. It then feeds these fragments to a large language model that distills each idea into a concise flashcard, pairing a prompt with a precise answer and an optional hint. This transformation happens in a few seconds, turning a dense PDF into a set of study‑ready cards without any manual copy‑pasting.

The generated cards are displayed in an editable list where you can refine wording, merge duplicates, or add personal examples. Because the AI respects the original terminology, the cards stay faithful to your course material while offering a clearer, recall‑oriented format.

How Quizly Implements Active‑Recall and Spaced Repetition

Active‑recall is embedded directly in the flashcard workflow: each card presents a prompt first, forcing you to retrieve the answer from memory before the solution is revealed. Immediate feedback follows, showing the correct answer and a brief explanation generated by the AI, which reinforces the concept on the spot.

Quizly then applies the SM‑2 algorithm to schedule the next review. After you rate your confidence, the system computes an optimal interval, so cards you know well reappear less often while weaker cards surface more frequently. This automatic spacing eliminates the need for manual scheduling and aligns with cognitive science recommendations for long‑term retention.

Getting Started in Four Simple Steps

1. 1
   Step 1 : Upload Your Notes

   Drag‑and‑drop a PDF, Word document or a photo of handwritten pages. Quizly immediately extracts the text and prepares it for AI processing.
2. 2
   Step 2 : Choose Your Study Format

   Select flashcards, a quiz, or both. Set the number of questions and the difficulty level that matches your current preparation stage.
3. 3
   Step 3 : Let the AI Generate Content

   Quizly’s model creates a set of cards and quiz items, each accompanied by an explanation or hint. You can edit any item before you start studying.
4. 4
   Step 4 : Review and Iterate

   Use the interactive flashcard interface or take the adaptive quiz. The system records your answers, updates the spaced‑repetition schedule, and suggests the next set of cards to review.
