How your Study Set works
Mindko generates your set
Mindko reads everything and builds your notes, flashcards, quizzes, mind map and study podcast — automatically.
Study, test & ask
Review your notes, drill with active recall, quiz yourself and chat with your files until it sticks.
More than flashcards — a complete Study Set
See everything Mindko builds from the material you already study from.
Feed it anything you learn from
PDFs, slides, textbooks, a YouTube link, an audio file or your own handwritten notes — pile it all in. Mindko reads everything and builds one connected Study Set you can chat with and study from, with no copy-pasting.
Record the lecture. Walk out with notes.
Hit record when class starts and Mindko's lecture recorder transcribes every word in real time. By the time you pack up, that transcript is already clean notes, flashcards and a quiz — nothing to type up later.
Break your material into a clear learning path
Upload your material and Mindko's study guide splits it into small, focused lessons — ordered so each topic builds on the one before it. Every lesson comes with its own flashcards, a quiz, a mind map and a study podcast, so you work through it step by step and actually retain what you learn.
Learn until it's actually mastered
Mindko scores what you know and what you don't across your whole set, then generates fresh quizzes, flashcards and active recall on your weak spots — and even grades your practice essays — so every topic moves from Unfamiliar to Mastered, not just “reviewed once.”
Integrating the latest generation of AI
Mindko is powered by a rich library of over 260 million academic articles

Still Have Questions?
NotebookLM is a great research assistant — grounded notes, an Audio Overview, a mind map and chat with your sources — but it isn't built to test you. Mindko turns the same material into actual study tools: auto flashcards, AI practice quizzes and graded tests, and active-recall drilling, on top of notes, a study podcast, a mind map and chat.
Yes. Mindko generates a two-host study podcast from your uploads — the same idea as NotebookLM's Audio Overview — so you can learn the material just by listening. It sits alongside your flashcards, notes, quizzes, mind map and chat in one Study Set.
NotebookLM doesn't make flashcards or test you. Mindko auto-generates flashcards, AI practice quizzes and graded tests, then drills them with active recall and spaced repetition — turning your sources into exam prep, not just research notes.
Yes. Create a free account and build your first Study Set without paying; upgrade to Mindko Pro for unlimited sets and unlimited use of every tool.
For exam prep, yes. NotebookLM helps you understand and explore your sources, but Mindko adds the tools that actually get you test-ready — auto flashcards, practice quizzes, graded tests and active-recall grading — while keeping the notes, podcast, mind map and chat you'd get from NotebookLM.
