Anki makes you hand-build every card. Fasrad turns your notes, highlights or a photo into cards and quizzes you on schedule, in conversation.
Anki has the best spacing algorithm and leaves you everything around it: authoring cards, managing decks, opening an app to grind a queue. Fasrad keeps the algorithm, drafts cards from your own material, runs review as a conversation and brings the schedule to you.
Anki's spaced repetition is the gold standard. People quit over everything around it: authoring each card by hand, wrangling decks and add-ons, syncing across devices, and opening a dated desktop app to grind a review queue. Fasrad keeps the science and does the chores. Tell your assistant what you're learning and point it at your notes, your Kindle highlights, pasted text or a photo of a textbook page. It drafts the cards. Then it quizzes you in chat on an FSRS-6 schedule and nudges you when something's due.
What that changes day to day:
You won't manage decks, maintain add-ons or sync an AnkiWeb account. The cards live in your second brain next to your notes and highlights, so studying and reading happen in one app.
Anki gives you a powerful engine and makes you build and feed it. Fasrad runs the same engine and does the building and feeding for you. You learn the material, and the cards and schedule look after themselves.
Buyers usually compare these adjacent jobs before choosing an AI agent.
Yes. FSRS-6, the modern free-spaced-repetition scheduler, is built in. Each answer updates the card's schedule the same way Anki's FSRS add-on would, and you don't install or tune anything.
From anything you point at: your notes, your Kindle highlights, pasted text, a CSV, or a photo of a page (OCR). Your assistant drafts the cards and shows you a preview, and you commit the ones worth keeping.
Say "quiz me" (or name a deck or topic). Questions come in chat and you answer in your own words. Your assistant grades them, schedules the next review, and nudges you when cards are due.
Yes, as a CSV. Anki exports to text/CSV, and the cards import into a deck with schedules intact where present. From there they review the same way, by conversation, with FSRS-6.
Cards you keep missing get reformulated automatically with a clearer prompt or cue. You can also tell your assistant "rewrite this card" and it does, with no card template to edit.
No. There's no deck-tree to curate, add-on ecosystem to maintain or sync account. Cards live with your notes and highlights, so studying and reading are one place.
Yes. Point it at your Kindle highlights or any notebook and it turns the key passages into cards. The book you read becomes the deck you study, automatically.
