What you need
Steps
Sign in to Brainscape on the web or open the mobile app. Create a free account if you do not have one.
Gather your source material first: lecture notes, a syllabus or an exam outline. The AI needs clear text to work from.
Open the create or add flashcards option and choose the AI-assisted creation tool. Paste in your notes or topic list.
Let the tool generate the cards. Review the output and delete or rewrite any card that is unclear or wrong.
Check each card for one question and one short answer. Split long cards into two so recall stays quick.
Add a title, subject and exam name to the deck so students can find it in search.
Study the deck yourself in Brainscape to test the cards. Fix weak spots before you share it.
Share the deck with your class or learners using the share link or class invite option.
Tips and common mistakes
AI output can contain errors, so always read every card before students study it.
Keep each card to a single fact; long multi-part cards slow down recall.
Use your own notes rather than copyrighted textbook text when generating cards.
Questions
Do I need a paid Brainscape account to use the AI tools?
Brainscape has free and paid plans, and AI features may sit behind a paid tier. Check the current plan page in the app before you start.
Can I edit the AI-generated flashcards?
Yes. Generated cards are normal Brainscape cards, so you can edit, delete or add to them at any time.
Can other people study my deck?
Yes. You can share a deck link or invite a class, and learners can study it in the app or on the web.
