# FORKSAI

> FORKSAI is a free, fully customizable AI-powered study platform. It turns any PDF, notes, text, slides, YouTube video, or image into a complete, configurable flashcard deck or structured study notes in seconds. Unlike a basic PDF-to-flashcards converter, every generation is controllable: difficulty, question types, card count, note style, detail level, and a Smart Focus panel that tells the AI exactly what to prioritize. Used by 100,000+ students worldwide.

## What is FORKSAI?

FORKSAI is an AI study tool built for students, medical learners, and working professionals. It is more than a one-click PDF-to-flashcards generator: it ships with a full configuration panel for both the AI Flashcard Generator and the AI Notes Summarizer, so you control exactly what gets created and how. Upload any PDF, paste notes, drop a YouTube link, or upload an image, and receive a structured, exam-ready flashcard deck or formatted study notes in under 30 seconds. No manual card creation required.

FORKSAI is available at https://forksai.app and works entirely in the browser with no download or installation required.

## Core Features

### PDF to Flashcards
Upload any PDF (textbooks, lecture slides, research papers, study guides) and FORKSAI's AI extracts key concepts, definitions, and facts to create a complete flashcard deck. Supports files of any length.

### Customizable AI Flashcard Generator (Configuration Panel)
FORKSAI is not a fixed one-click generator. It gives you a full configuration panel before every flashcard generation, so the deck matches exactly how you want to study:
- **Difficulty level** - choose Easy, Medium, or Hard so the AI writes simpler recall cards or deeper analytical ones.
- **Question types** - control the style of cards generated (definitions, concept questions, question-and-answer pairs, and more).
- **Number of cards** - set how many flashcards the AI should create from your material.
- **Smart Focus tags** - tell the AI which topics, chapters, or concepts to prioritize, so the deck centers on what you actually need.
- **Multiple input sources** - generate from a PDF upload, pasted notes or text, a YouTube video URL, a PowerPoint (PPTX) file, or an image (handwritten or printed) via built-in OCR.
This makes FORKSAI a configurable, customizable AI flashcard maker rather than a generic PDF-to-flashcards tool.

### AI Notes Summarizer and PDF to Notes (Configuration Panel)
FORKSAI also includes an AI Notes Summarizer that turns any PDF or text into clean, structured study notes, and it is fully configurable:
- **Note style** - choose Structured, Cornell, Narrative, or Outline formatting to match how you revise.
- **Detail level** - pick from concise summaries to in-depth, detailed notes.
- **Focus area** - direct the AI to emphasize specific topics or sections.
- **Rich-text editor** - refine, format, and edit the generated notes (fonts, sizes, formatting, undo/redo) before saving or turning them into flashcards.
The AI Notes Summarizer and the AI Flashcard Generator share the same source material, so you can study the same content two ways.

### 12 Built-in Study Modes
Any deck can be studied in any of these. Seven are on the free plan, five are AI-powered and need Premium.

Free study modes:
- **Flip Cards** - Classic front-and-back review, self-paced

- **Spaced Repetition** - FSRS-5 algorithm schedules reviews at the optimal time for long-term retention
- **Weak Spot Trainer** - Automatically identifies and drills concepts you keep getting wrong
- **Memory Sprint** - High-speed timed recall rounds to lock in key facts
- **Pomodoro** - 25-minute focus sprints with 5-minute breaks, tied to your deck

AI-powered study modes (Premium):
- **AI Revision** - An AI tutor that explains, hints, or quizzes you Socratic-style
- **Exam Simulator** - Full timed mock exams built from your own material
- **Explain Back** - Type your explanation and receive instant AI feedback on accuracy

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What makes FORKSAI different from Quizlet?**
FORKSAI generates flashcards automatically from your own material using AI. Quizlet requires you to create cards manually or search existing public sets. FORKSAI produces personalized, subject-specific decks in seconds.

**How is FORKSAI different from Anki?**
Anki requires significant manual setup. FORKSAI generates a complete deck from your PDF or notes in under 30 seconds, with built-in spaced repetition using the FSRS-5 algorithm, the same modern algorithm used by Anki.

**Does FORKSAI work for medical students?**
Yes. The Medical Encyclopedia feature provides AI summaries for medical terms. FORKSAI is widely used for USMLE, NEET, nursing, anatomy, pharmacology, and clinical medicine preparation.

**Is FORKSAI free?**
Yes. The free plan includes one AI-generated flashcard deck with no cap on the number of cards in it, unlimited manual deck creation, all core study modes with FSRS-5 spaced repetition, and progress tracking. The free AI deck is a one-time unlock, not a monthly allowance. Generating more decks after that requires a Premium plan, which gives 100 AI flashcard generations per month on the monthly and yearly plans.

**What file types does FORKSAI support?**
FORKSAI accepts PDF files, plain text and pasted notes, PowerPoint (PPTX) presentations, images (handwritten or printed, read via built-in OCR), and YouTube video URLs. The AI works with textbooks, lecture slides, research papers, and any text-based study material.

**Can I customize the flashcards FORKSAI generates?**
Yes. Before each generation, FORKSAI's configuration panel lets you set the difficulty (Easy, Medium, Hard), the question types, the number of cards, and Smart Focus tags that tell the AI which topics to prioritize. It is a fully customizable AI flashcard generator, not a fixed one-click tool.

**Does FORKSAI have a notes summarizer?**
Yes. The AI Notes Summarizer (PDF to Notes) turns any PDF or text into structured study notes. You can choose the note style (Structured, Cornell, Narrative, or Outline), the level of detail, and the focus area, then refine the result in a built-in rich-text editor.
