PDF NOTES THE CARD THE DECK PAGE 1 / 12 waiting for bullets… Q What is ATP? A energy currency of the cell Q Define osmosis A water diffusing across a membrane Q Krebs cycle yield? A 2 ATP + 6 NADH per glucose A 2 ATP + 6 NADH per glucose 0 1 2 3 3 CARDS every line becomes a bullet, every bullet becomes a card — watch the deck fill
FIG 1 · the study loop, animated — prose to bullets to cards, three flips and the deck is live
PDF notes your whole semester text extraction strictly .pdf, strictly parsed bullet conversion prose → studyable points Q&A generation a question per concept image generation visuals per card flashcard deck interactive, responsive, ready in minutes built solo in one weekend — and deployed, not demo-ed
FIG 2 · the machinery — notes → bullets → Q&A + images → deck
The story

Eighth hackathon, first one solo — ConUHacks, 800 participants, and a simple bet: students would study more if making flashcards weren’t the boring part. Flashify takes a PDF of notes and generates the deck automatically.

The pipeline extracts the text, converts it into clean bullet points, then generates question-answer pairs and supporting images for each card. The result renders as an interactive deck in a responsive UI. It shipped deployed — not a localhost demo — which, at hackathon number eight, was the real flex.
