Refine Flashcards with AI

Refine with AI lets you reshape an entire flashcard deck in one action -- tell the AI what to change and it rewrites the affected cards for you. No more editing cards one at a time when the whole deck needs a tune-up.

Where to Find It

There are two ways to open the refine prompt:

• From the editor tab -- Open a deck and switch to the Editor tab. The Refine with AI panel appears above your card list.
• After studying 5 cards -- Once you have reviewed at least 5 cards in study mode, a Refine prompt surfaces so you can adjust the deck without leaving your session.

Quick Suggestions

For common tweaks, use one of the one-click suggestions:

• Make it harder -- Raise the difficulty across the deck.
• Simplify the language -- Rewrite cards in plainer words for easier review.
• Add more detail to answers -- Expand card answers with extra context and examples.
• Focus on key concepts -- Trim the deck's attention to the ideas that matter most.
• Make answers more concise -- Tighten wordy answers into quick, reviewable lines.

Custom Instructions

If none of the presets match what you want, type a free-text instruction. Some examples:

• "Focus the deck on definitions and skip application questions."
• "Rewrite every answer as a two-sentence summary."
• "Add a mnemonic to every card that has a formula."
• "Convert all cards into fill-in-the-blank format."

The more specific your instruction, the better the result.

How It Works

When you submit a refinement:

1. The AI reads your full deck along with your instruction.
2. A loading state shows while the deck is being rewritten.
3. When finished, your deck updates in place -- no new deck is created.

If a card didn't come out the way you wanted, open the Editor tab and adjust it by hand -- refined cards are fully editable like any other card.

Limits

Refining an existing deck does not use an AI creation. Each deck supports up to 3 refinements, so use them when you know what you want to change. Per-card Repair Card actions are also free of AI creation usage. If you ask deck chat to change cards, the edit does not use an AI creation, although the normal Chat message allowance still applies. See Plans and Limits.

Tips

• Run Make it harder right before an exam to stress-test yourself with tougher questions.
• Use Simplify the language when you generated a deck from a dense research paper or a textbook chapter.
• Chain refinements: simplify the language first, then add more detail. Each step builds on the previous deck state.
• Pair Refine with AI with Hard Questions -- generate a harder version of the deck, then study only the cards you flag.
