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?
no, it's not. Besides, the OP is most likely asking about apps that have LLMs built-in.
> no, it's not
yes it is?
just checked, fsrs is ai

Yes exactly.
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) comes to mind. My own extension for studying Chinese, Pindu (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.
