I'm no good at prompt engineering, so I iterate a lot, rather than trying to come up with the perfect prompt. I start by asking something like,

"please generate a series of short questions and answers that conform to a flashcard format, easy for studying, from these notes"

The responses were too verbose, so I asked:

"Please shorten the answers to short, easily memorizable lines"

That returned pretty good flashcards, so from there I asked it to reformat in a way Anki could consume:

"these are great, please convert these into a code block, where the question and the answer is on the same line, separated by a semicolon and not numbered"

But that put all of the flashcards on the same line, so I added:

"sorry I wasn't clear, each question should be on its own line"

That gave me what I was looking for. The next step is to paste it into Anki, fiddle with the recall and cards-per-day settings, and then get to training!

Very helpful, thank you!

thank you!

Not the person you’re asking, but I wrote a bit about my experiences here: https://neurotechnicians.com/p/generative-ai-and-anki-part-1...

That's great, thank you!
