Can Jarvis Generate Flashcards and Quizzes From My Notes?

Yes. Jarvis (getjarvis.eu) is a screen-aware desktop AI assistant that converts your own study notes into flashcards and practice quizzes. Open your notes in Notion, Obsidian, Google Docs, or a PDF, press Cmd+/ (macOS) or Ctrl+/ (Windows), and ask Jarvis to make question-and-answer cards, multiple-choice items, or fill-in-the-blank drills from exactly that material. It can run the quiz interactively in the floating bar, grade your typed answers, and explain wrong ones. Jarvis routes question generation to frontier models from Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google, and its persistent memory tracks which cards you keep missing so it can re-test them. It can also export the cards as plain text or a table you paste into Anki or a Google Sheet. A free plan (40 requests/week) lets you try it; plans start at $16/month.

Generic flashcard generators invent facts; Jarvis builds from the notes on your screen, so the cards match what your course actually covers. Highlight a section or open the whole document and ask for ten Q-and-A cards, or specify the format — cloze deletions for vocabulary, multiple choice for concepts, short-answer for theory. Because it reads the source directly, definitions and dates come from your professor's framing. You can ask it to skip trivia and focus on exam-likely material, and route the heavier reasoning to a frontier model when the subject is dense.

Jarvis does not just dump a deck — it can run the quiz with you. It asks one card at a time, checks your typed answer, and gives a short explanation when you miss. Tell it to focus on a chapter and it weights questions there. Its persistent memory records your misses across sessions, so tomorrow's drill leans into the cards you failed today, which is the core of effective spaced repetition. You can ask for a quick five-card warm-up before class or a full mock test the night before an exam.
