An AI coach that drills you until you've got it
One sentence, hand it to your AI
Copy this line and send it to any AI tool — Claude Code, zcode, Cursor — it installs the coach and the site source. Tell it “I want to learn X” and you can start drilling today
Install ai-study-kit from https://aistudykit.dev/install.md

One toolkit, six learning artifacts
What the lessons teach, the quizzes test and the cards drill are the same knowledge points
Who is this for
The repo ships a git and Linux example theme; swap in whatever you're actually studying
| What you are doing | Does it fit |
|---|---|
| A developer learning a new stack, say React or K8s | ✅ AI distills the docs into quizzes; drill with cards |
| A student preparing for an exam | ✅ Got past papers? Import them. Don't? AI writes questions from your exam points |
| Getting ready for interviews | ✅ Say what it's for — AI writes lessons and questions, then walks you through your wrong answers |
| Learning anything with exam points, compliance or processes | ✅ If it can be Q&A, it can be learned |
| You just want a ready-made question bank | ❌ No stock questions here — but AI can generate a set from your exam points |
Why not existing tools
Anki has no quiz app or deep-dives; Quizlet is closed-source SaaS and keeps your data

Frequently asked questions
Free vs paid, question banks, data ownership and Anki compatibility
Is it free?
Yes. MIT-licensed open source, no accounts, no subscriptions, no telemetry.
How is it different from Anki?
Reviews run the Anki-compatible SM-2 scheduler (learning steps, graduation, lapse decay), but the loop also covers the quiz side — grading, wrong-answer deep-dives and course pages around the same exam points. It is not an Anki plugin.
Where does my data live?
In local mode progress stays in your browser; deploy the small bundled server and progress is a single progress.json file on your own machine. No third party is ever involved.
Which LLM providers are supported?
Any OpenAI-compatible API (OpenAI, Zhipu GLM, DeepSeek, Kimi, Qwen, Doubao and more), configured in your own .env. The quiz app and flashcards also work with no AI at all.
How do I deploy it?
Static frontend plus a small Hono server: pnpm build && pnpm exec pm2 start on any Node host — or run purely locally with pnpm dev.
What question types are supported?
Single-choice, multiple-choice (all-correct grading) and true/false, stored as plain JSON — no lock-in.
Can I use my own question bank?
You don't have to. Tell the built-in /ask-coach “I want to learn X”: it aligns an exam outline with you, then drafts questions, cards and lessons to match. Prefer your own? Questions are plain JSON per theme — import past papers anytime.
Can I turn my study material into a podcast?
Yes. Any material — lessons, questions, wrong-answer deep-dives — can be synthesized into a two-host audio show with a transcript. Generated with your own API key, in five languages, for passive review on your commute or while exercising.
