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

Each refinement uses one AI creation from your shared allowance -- the same pool that powers flashcards, podcasts, video lectures, and other AI tools. On Free, those are lifetime credits and do not reset; paid plans lift the cap. Each deck supports up to 3 refinements, so use them when you know what you want to change. 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.
