I'd rather do spaced repetition than Obsidian.

Does anyone know if a plugin for this?

Like, a history buff could just tell the LLM "quiz me on the Taiping Rebellion, who what where when and why."

The LLM then enters this instruction into an API that handles the spaced repetition data and algorithms.

The LLM could pull that API daily and quiz you daily.

Actually knowing all this stuff sounds so much better than having a bunch of notes in a fancy graph.

You can use an LLM to generate first drafts of flashcards that you import into, and later revise in, a true spaced-repetition system — such as Mochi or Anki.

For learning new material, make your LLM assume a Socratic position. Kagi Assistant has a custom Study model that does this. The key is causing the model to increase your friction (causing learning and memory) instead of decreasing it.

I can't use Anki on a walk or while making dinner.
