How to Make Flashcards from Your Notes with AI

Start from whatever you have

The deck is built from a note, and a note can come from almost anything you study from. Each of these becomes a note in NoteBase first:

• A lecture you recorded in class
• A YouTube lecture or explainer, from its link
• A PDF chapter or a slide deck
• A photo of your handwritten notebook

Generate the deck

Open the note's tools and choose Exam Room, then flashcards. The AI lifts the terms, definitions and core concepts out of the note and writes a card for each, in the note's own wording, so the cards use the same terms your lecturer and your textbook use.

Test yourself, not just reread

Go through the deck and answer before you flip each card. When the cards feel easy, switch to a practice quiz built from the same note: multiple-choice and true/false questions, graded instantly, with your score kept across attempts.

Make a deck per topic

Keep one note per lecture or chapter and one deck per note, so revising a topic means opening one deck rather than scrolling through the whole term. Your decks are on the phone and on the web, for the commute and for the desk.
