Anki AI Assistant

Anki AI Assistant is a Chrome extension that supercharges your Anki vocabulary learning workflow. Instead of spending 3–5 minutes manually creating each flashcard, simply highlight a word on any webpage or type it in, and the AI generates a complete card with definition, IPA pronunciation, example sentence, image, and audio — all in one click. ✨ Key Features: 🤖 AI-Powered Card Generation — Automatically generates definitions, IPA transcription, example sentences, and translations using Google Gemini, OpenAI, or any OpenAI-compatible API (Ollama, LM Studio, Azure, etc.) 🎯 Any Target Language — Create flashcards for any language you're learning — English, Japanese, Korean, French, German, and more. The AI adapts definitions, examples, and translations to your chosen language pair 🌐 Webpage Context Awareness — Highlight a word on any webpage, and the AI uses the surrounding context to generate a more accurate, contextual definition 📦 Bulk Import — Paste a list of 50+ words and generate all flashcards at once with batch AI processing 🔗 Direct Anki Sync — Sync cards directly to Anki Desktop via AnkiConnect — no file exports needed 🖼️ Auto Image & Audio — Fetches relevant images from Pexels (with Wikipedia fallback) and pronunciation audio automatically 🗂️ Smart Field Mapping — AI-powered field detection that maps your card data to any existing Anki deck template automatically 🌍 Multi-language Support — Generates translations in your target language alongside English definitions 🛡️ Duplicate Prevention — Multi-layered duplicate detection prevents redundant cards 🚀 Getting Started 1.
