Exam season hits hard. I’ve watched plenty of students try to cram with random notes, and the difference between passing and bombing usually isn’t hours logged. It’s whether your notes turn into something your brain can retrieve under pressure. Three prompts below do that conversion: deck, schedule, and a runnable flashcard app.

Paste your lecture notes after this prompt and you’ll get a CSV you can drop straight into Anki.
Given my raw lecture notes pasted below, extract every distinct concept and build a spaced-repetition study deck. For each concept output a card with: a one-line definition, a fill-in-the-blank recall question, and a real exam-style application question. Group cards by topic, flag the 10 concepts I most likely misremember, and export the whole deck as a CSV with columns topic, front, back, due_date. Paste notes after this line.

Tell it your exam date, your weak topics, and how many hours you’ve got each day. It spits back a markdown table you can paste into your calendar.
Act as a study coach. Given my exam date, my current weak topics (list them), and my available study hours per day, produce a 14-day study plan as a table with columns: day, topic, active-recall task, practice problem count, and a 10-minute self-quiz. Schedule the hardest topics in the first 3 days, add a full mock exam on day 12, and leave day 14 for review only. Output the plan as a markdown table I can paste into my calendar.

Feed it your Q&A pairs and you get a single HTML file. No build step, no installs, runs in any browser.
Build a single-file HTML flashcard app for my exam prep. Given my list of Q&A pairs below, generate a self-contained index.html with: a card flip on click, a know it / review it button that moves cards into a spaced-repetition queue, a progress bar, and localStorage persistence so my progress survives a refresh. Use vanilla JS, no frameworks, and keep the file under 200 lines. Output the complete file.
One honest caveat: these prompts only work if your source notes are halfway coherent. Feed in random scribbles and you’ll get random cards back. Also, day 14 is review-only by design, so don’t skip the mock on day 12. Full archive at aitoolalliance.com/tag/prompt-pack.
