# AnkiGen - Anki Card Generator
AnkiGen is a Gradio-based web application that generates Anki-compatible CSV files using Large Language Models (LLMs) based on user-specified subjects and preferences.
## Features
- Generate Anki cards for various subjects
- Customizable number of topics and cards per topic
- User-friendly interface powered by Gradio
- Exports to CSV for manual import or .apkg format with out of the box css styling
- Utilizes OpenAI's structured output to mimic chain of thought to minimize hallucinations
## TODO
- [ ] cloze cards? (checkbox?)
- [ ] File upload / parsing longer texts / books as input?
- [ ] Novelty Fields / Custom? [ELI5], etc.
