Chat2Anki

Chat2Anki is a browser extension built for people who study with ChatGPT and review with Anki. Instead of manually copying answers out of a chat log and formatting them as cards, you let the extension read the conversation and produce the questions and answers for you. One click on the dolphin icon inside ChatGPT is enough to trigger generation, and the cards are sent to your Anki collection through the AnkiConnect add-on.

The workflow is deliberately simple. You might ask ChatGPT to summarise lecture notes and then turn that summary into cards, photograph handwritten notes and have them summarised first, or convert a tricky question you finally understood into cards so you never have to ask it twice. The extension runs in the browser next to ChatGPT and keeps the whole loop — ask, summarise, card — inside one session.

Chat2Anki is a small indie project distributed through the Chrome Web Store by the developer algobaker. It has a modest but active install base and receives periodic updates. Because it depends on AnkiConnect, you need the desktop Anki application with that add-on installed before cards can be delivered, and the extension is intended primarily for English-language ChatGPT sessions.
