Ask HN: Any AI native Anki alternatives?

  If you were a first-year CS student again in 2026 ( or going to be a 2nd year student now ) , what would you learn that most students ignore?

  isn't anki itself based on ai algorithm?
  • pullshark91 3mo ago
    no, it's not. Besides, the OP is most likely asking about apps that have LLMs built-in.

      Yes exactly.

  I'm not aware of anything that outright replaces the Anki-style DB/SRS with an LLM or agentic workflow, and I'm not sure that would be a good idea, either. Even study/knowledge apps built from the ground up during the LLM era (like RemNote (https://www.remnote.com/ https://www.remnote.com/) use an Anki-style SRS AFAIK. But maybe RemNote is what you're after. Since you're asking about LLMs, there are plenty of Anki extensions that make use of the tech for card creation and supplementation but leave the core database and scheduling loop untouched. Anki Brain (https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1915225457 https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1915225457) comes to mind. My own extension for studying Chinese, Pindu (https://readpindu.com/ https://readpindu.com/), uses the output from Anki's SRS as the input to the LLM, and then the learner sees the output from the LLM.
