Turning a PDF into flashcards sounds simple until you actually try to make cards that are useful for review.
The hard part is not generating text. AI can do that quickly.
The hard part is getting cards that are short, accurate, editable, and not full of vague questions you would never want to review later.
That is the problem I had in mind when building CardForge AI: a tool for turning PDFs and study notes into editable Anki flashcards.
This is not a launch announcement. It is more of a build note about why I chose this workflow, what I think the real problem is, and why I do not believe AI-generated flashcards should go straight into a study system without review.
