Cardivate is an Anki add-on that reads your lecture PDFs and generates ready-to-study cards — basic, cloze, MCQ, image occlusion, and more — so you spend your time learning, not making notes.
One add-on for generating, refining, auditing, and quizzing — all inside Anki.
Basic, cloze, MCQ, true/false, short answer, summary, vocab, listening, image occlusion — pick what fits the page.
Cardivate looks at the actual page image, so it understands tables, anatomy plates, charts, and slide layouts — not just text.
Generate vocabulary, gap-fill, reverse-translation, and bilingual sentence cards in any language pair.
Listening-vocab and listening-sentence cards include native-quality audio rendered server-side, ready to review.
All AI runs through our server with your license. Your OpenAI account is never asked for and never billed.
Buy a credit pack once. Each card uses one credit. No monthly fees, no hidden costs, top up when you want.
Chat with the AI inside the preview window — make a card harder, simpler, shorter, add an example, fix grammar. Preview before applying.
Cardivate finds the cards you've lapsed on, identifies the themes behind them, and generates targeted practice cards for those weak spots.
Open any PDF and chat with a tutor that answers only from the document — then turn the answer into a deck with one click.
Timed, randomised quiz over any deck. MCQ / cloze / T-F graded automatically; free-text answers AI-graded with feedback.
The whole flow lives inside Anki. No copy-pasting, no separate apps.
Download Cardivate from AnkiWeb and paste your license key. Takes about a minute.
Drop a lecture, textbook chapter, or slide deck. Choose how many cards per page and which types you want.
Preview the generated cards, edit anything you don't like, and add them to a deck. Anki takes over from there.
