Ace Your Exams with AI-Generated Recall Cards
Stop making flashcards by hand. BrainTube auto-generates recall questions from lectures and schedules them with spaced repetition.
1 min read
Traditional flashcards: You spend 2 hours making them, 30 minutes using them.
BrainTube: Cards generate automatically. You just review.
How It Works
- Save a lecture video (or any educational content)
- BrainTube transcribes and analyzes it
- AI generates recall questions from the content
- Questions appear in your Recall tab
Types of Questions Generated
Factual: "What are the three types of memory?"
→ With hints and answer summaries
Conceptual: "Why does spaced repetition work better than cramming?"
→ Tests understanding, not just memorization
Application: "How would you apply the 80/20 rule to study planning?"
→ Tests practical use of knowledge
The Spaced Repetition Engine
BrainTube doesn't just give you flashcards. It schedules them scientifically:
- Day 1: See the card
- Day 3: See it again (if you got it right)
- Day 7: See it again
- Day 14: See it again
- Day 30: See it again
If you struggle, it shows the card more often. If it's easy, it spaces out.
Result: Maximum retention with minimum time.
