Reviewed Anki card creation for med school
Missed questions, ready for Anki.
AnkiPilot opens beside your study page, uses the context you choose, drafts focused AnKing cloze or Basic cards, and lets you approve each card before it enters Anki.

The bottleneck
Medical students already spend hours reviewing Anki. The slow part is turning a missed question into a card that still makes sense later.
AnkiPilot is built for that moment after review: capture the takeaway, shape it into an Anki note, and keep moving.
Typical AI workflow
AnkiPilot workflow
Leave the question page to copy details into a chat window
Capture selected text and visible context in place
Manually rework the response into Anki fields
Draft focused Anki fields around the learning point
Rebuild fields, tags, screenshots, and deck routing by hand
Send approved cards into Anki through AnkiConnect
Beside the explanation
Keep the source, reasoning, and card editor in one view.
The side panel stays open while you review your study notes, refine wording, choose the note type, and confirm the final card before adding it to Anki.
- Highlight the clinical clue, mechanism, table row, distractor, or sentence you want to remember.
- On UWorld and AMBOSS pages, AnkiPilot reads only the question ID and uses it to find matching AnKing notes in your Anki collection.
- Approve, edit, or skip each generated card with the source still visible.
Built for med-school review
Designed around AnKing, question banks, and the details that make reviews useful.
AnkiPilot is tuned for medical students using Anki, AnKing, UWorld, and AMBOSS, while the selected-text workflow still works for dense articles, lecture notes, and other subjects.
Missed-question context
On ordinary pages, pair selected text with your own note about why you missed it. On UWorld and AMBOSS pages, the context is the question ID plus that typed note, and nothing else from the page, so the card targets the key distinction.
Deck-ready sync
Send approved cards to the configured deck, note type, fields, and tags instead of rebuilding the card manually.
Review standards
Card review is part of the workflow, not an afterthought.
AnkiPilot checks card structure before Anki sync: clear prompts, useful hints, safe formatting, clean field mapping, and questions that do not reveal their own answers.
Clear cloze prompts
Clozes are guided toward useful retrieval hints such as mechanism, risk factor, diagnostic clue, or next management step.
Basic cards that ask cleanly
Front fields are checked for answer leakage, Back fields stay direct, and Notes hold the reasoning or key distinction.
Human approval stays central
You see the generated fields, tags, source context, and optional screenshot before anything is added to your deck.
More than a prompt
A chat window can write text. AnkiPilot handles the card workflow.
Good card creation needs source capture, review, field mapping, deck routing, tags, optional screenshots, and a final AnkiConnect action. AnkiPilot keeps those steps in one flow.
Source-aware capture
Start from selected text on ordinary pages, or type your own missed-concept note on question-bank pages.
Anki field mapping
Use card fields, tags, note type, and deck defaults from the beginning of the workflow.
Avoid duplicate notes
Check for related AnKing notes by question ID before deciding whether a new card is needed.
Local study assets
On ordinary pages, preview optional screenshots and store them through Anki media for personal review.
Questions before trying it
What students usually want to know.
Is this a public download?
AnkiPilot is a Chrome extension. Install it from the Chrome Web Store and follow the setup guide. AnkiPilot is free, has no accounts, and needs no sign-in.
Does this replace Anki?
No. AnkiPilot creates reviewed notes through AnkiConnect. Anki remains your deck, scheduler, and review system.
Are cards added automatically?
No. You review, edit, approve, or skip generated cards before anything enters your Anki profile.
Does it copy question-bank content?
On UWorld and AMBOSS pages, AnkiPilot reads only the question ID and uses it to find matching AnKing notes in your own collection. You type what you missed in your own words, and cards on those pages are generated with a local model on your own computer. You are responsible for following the terms of every resource you study from.
Can I use my own AI key?
Yes. AnkiPilot works with your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google key, and your browser calls the provider directly. You can also send generation requests to Ollama on your own computer.
Does AnkiPilot cost anything?
AnkiPilot is free and has no paid plans. If you use your own API key, your provider bills your account under its own rates. Local generation has no provider API charge; hardware and electricity costs still apply.
Ready for launch
