Flashback

Flashback is an AI-powered study platform designed to help students learn more effectively. It takes your existing course materials—like Notion pages, YouTube videos, PDFs, or pasted text—and automatically transforms them into interactive study sessions. The core idea is to move beyond passive reading and into active practice, which research shows improves long-term memory.

The tool works by generating three types of study aids from your content. First, it creates flashcards you can export to Anki. Second, it builds multiple-choice and free-response quizzes, with the AI checking your written answers for accuracy. Third, and perhaps most uniquely, it acts as a conversational study partner. You can chat with it to explain concepts out loud or ask clarifying questions, turning studying into a two-way dialogue instead of a solo review.

Flashback is built for anyone who needs to learn and retain information, from high school and university students to professionals learning new skills. It's useful for turning dense textbook chapters into manageable quizzes, for reviewing lecture recordings from YouTube, or for practicing explanations of complex topics before an exam. By focusing on active recall and spaced repetition, it aims to make study time more efficient and effective.
