Ask questions about what you're looking at and automatically compile the answers into organized study materials with spaced repetition scheduling.

Workflow Steps

1

Siri Shortcuts

Capture learning questions via voice

Create a Shortcut triggered by 'Help me learn this' that records your question about something you're looking at. The shortcut also captures the current timestamp and prompts you to specify the subject category (biology, history, etc.).

2

ChatGPT API

Generate detailed explanations

Send your voice question to ChatGPT with context like: 'I'm looking at [subject]. My question is: [question]. Provide a clear explanation suitable for studying, plus 2 related questions I should also know.' Format the response for easy parsing.

3

Notion

Compile structured study notes

Automatically add ChatGPT's response to a Notion database organized by subject and date. Include the original question, detailed explanation, related concepts, and tags for easy searching and review.

4

Zapier

Convert notes to flashcards

Set up a Zapier workflow that triggers when new items are added to your Notion study database. It extracts key information and formats it into question-answer pairs suitable for spaced repetition learning.

5

AnkiConnect

Auto-generate spaced repetition cards

Use Zapier to send the formatted question-answer pairs to Anki via AnkiConnect API. Automatically assign appropriate difficulty levels and tags, and schedule the cards for optimal spaced repetition review.
