AI that studies your material.

Not a generic chatbot. An AI assistant that reads your notes, your highlights, and your PDFs — and turns them into flashcards you'll actually review.

Lecture 4 — The Solar System

The Sun's gravity holds the planets in elliptical orbits, with the rocky inner worlds circling far faster than the distant gas giants…

Making flashcards is important — the act of formulating questions builds understanding. But formatting 200 cards from a textbook chapter is busywork, not learning. AI handles the formatting so you can focus on the thinking.


How it works

From content to cards in seconds.

The AI doesn't replace your thinking — it eliminates the mechanical work between understanding something and being able to practice it.

1

Highlight or paste your content

Select a paragraph from your notes, highlight a section in the PDF reader, or paste raw text into the AI workbench. That's your input.

2

AI generates study-ready cards

The AI reads your content and produces flashcards tuned for active recall — front/back pairs, cloze deletions, or multi-part questions depending on the material.

3

Edit, refine, approve

Review generated cards before they enter your deck. Edit wording, split complex cards, add images, or reject ones that don't serve you.

4

Cards join your study loop

Approved cards enter spaced repetition immediately. They're linked to their source note, so you can always trace a card back to where the idea came from.

Capabilities

Intelligence where it actually helps.

AI surfaces in the moments where manual work slows you down — turning your sources into cards and speeding up the work you'd otherwise repeat.

Beyond cards

Not just flashcards.

Some material wants to be seen, not just recited. AI builds timelines, diagrams, and interactive images from the same sources — and study mode quizzes you on them too.

Sequence

AI timelines

Ask for a timeline and AI builds a study-ready section of dated event cards. Browse it as an interactive timeline — horizontal or vertical — and let study mode quiz you on the dates.

Dated eventsInteractive viewTest dates
Visual

AI diagrams

Describe a concept and AI generates a Mermaid diagram — flowcharts, mindmaps, timelines, sequence diagrams, ER charts, and more. Visualize relationships your notes can't express in text alone.

FlowchartsMindmapsTimelines12+ types
Detect

Image maps & hotspots

Upload an anatomy diagram, a circuit, or any labeled image. AI detects regions of interest and creates interactive hotspots you can study — tap a region, recall what it is.

Our approach

AI as accelerant, not replacement.

Learning requires active engagement. AI in Mento removes mechanical friction — it doesn't think for you.

Your material, not the internet

Cards are generated from your notes, highlights, and PDFs — matched to the level and language of what you actually wrote, not generic internet summaries.

Nothing enters your deck unapproved

The AI suggests, you decide. Edit, split, merge, or reject every generated card before it joins your study loop.

Every card keeps its source

Generated cards stay linked to the note, highlight, or page they came from, so you can always trace an idea back and go deeper.
