Flashcards
Flashcards are question-answer cards created from your concepts. They transform your passive knowledge (notes you re-read) into active learning (questions you have to solve). It's the first step toward lasting memorization.
Why Use Flashcards?
Re-reading your notes gives an illusion of knowledge: you recognize the information, but you can't recall it during a session. Flashcards force you to actively retrieve the information, which significantly strengthens memorization.
Example:
- Passive note: "In 3-bet pots OOP, I should c-bet smaller (33% pot)"
- Flashcard:
- Question: "In 3-bet pots OOP, what c-bet size should you use?"
- Answer: "33% of the pot — smaller sizing because ranges are tighter"
The flashcard forces you to search for the answer before seeing it. That's what locks the information into memory.
AI Extraction (from a Concept)
AI can automatically extract flashcards from your concept content. It identifies key points, facts to memorize, and important concepts to generate relevant questions.
How to Extract Flashcards
- Open a concept that contains structured content
- Click the Extract flashcards button
- AI analyzes the content and generates flashcards
- Flashcards appear one by one — you accept or refuse each card
- For each extracted flashcard, you can:
- Keep: The flashcard is saved and linked to this concept
- Edit: Modify the question or answer before keeping
- Dismiss: The flashcard is discarded
Tip
Extract flashcards after structuring your concept with AI. A well-structured concept produces better flashcards.
Warning
AI-generated flashcards may contain inaccuracies or imprecise wording. Always review extracted questions and answers before keeping them. Use the Edit option to correct as needed.
Manual Creation
You can also create flashcards manually if you want to formulate the questions yourself.
How to Create a Flashcard Manually
- Open a concept
- Access the concept's flashcard management
- Click Create a flashcard
- Fill in the Question field (front of the card)
- Fill in the Answer field (back of the card)
- Save
When to prefer manual creation:
- You want to ask a very specific question
- You want to control the exact wording
- You have a short concept where AI extraction isn't enough
Editing a Flashcard
You can modify an existing flashcard at any time:
- Access the concept's flashcards
- Select the flashcard to edit
- Modify the question and/or answer
- Save
Note
Editing a flashcard does not reset its spaced repetition progress. The memorization history is preserved.
Deleting a Flashcard
To delete a flashcard:
- Access the concept's flashcards
- Select the flashcard to delete
- Confirm the deletion
Deletion is permanent. The flashcard and all its review history are deleted.
Flashcard Management
Within a Concept
Each concept has its own flashcards. When you open a concept, you can access its flashcards to view, edit, or create new ones.
Concept Deletion
Flashcards linked to a concept are deleted with the concept.
Credits and Cost
AI flashcard extraction consumes credits based on the total length of the concept. Longer concepts will consume more credits. Manual creation, editing, and deletion are free.
Best Practices
For Good Flashcards
- One idea per flashcard: Each flashcard should test ONE specific concept
- Clear questions: The question should be unambiguous
- Concise answers: The answer should be short and direct
- Enough context: The question should contain enough context to find the answer
Good Flashcard Examples
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What's the standard c-bet size in 3-bet pots OOP? | 33% of the pot |
| When to squeeze IP on the BTN vs open + call? | With strong hands (QQ+, AKs) and blocker bluffs (A5s, A4s) |
| What's the minimum bluff ratio on a pot-size river bet? | 2:1 — you need to bluff at least 33% of the time |
Bad Flashcard Examples
| Question | Problem |
|---|---|
| Tell me about poker | Too vague, no precise answer |
| C-bet? | Lacks context |

Tip
After extracting flashcards, do a first review session immediately. This initial exposure significantly strengthens memorization. Spaced repetition will then handle scheduling the reminders at the right time.
