SmarterHumans.ai

Co-founded by Barbara Oakley, Ph.D., the platform applies principles from cognitive science and learning research to help users retain and recall information from study materials. Users can import content from various sources, and the system automatically generates flashcards using artificial intelligence.

Each flashcard is deep-linked back to its original source, allowing learners to revisit the specific passage, video timestamp, or document section from which the question was derived. The service uses spaced repetition algorithms to schedule review sessions based on individual retention patterns, prompting users to revisit material at intervals designed to reinforce long-term memory.

Typical applications include independent study, exam preparation, and continuing professional development. The platform is aimed at students, educators, and lifelong learners who wish to retain knowledge from books, lectures, online courses, and other written or audiovisual materials.
