README
Soothsayer for Anki
This addon asks ChatGPT a question in bulk about notes in your Anki collection. For example, if you have a deck of vocabulary words, you may ask it to generate example sentences, list homynyms, classify parts of speech, etc.
Much like soothsayers in real life, this addon will sometimes lie or otherwise give bad information. LLMs are not yet reliable to take at face value.
Installation
You may install this from its Anki Web
page. You may alternatively
download it from the GitHub releases page, then install in Anki via Tools -> Add-ons -> Install from file…
Usage
Select a group of notes in the browser and invoke the Soothsayer via Edit -> Consult the Soothsayer…. Here you may configure a number of options.
Question
The question you want to ask the soothsayer. Words surrounded in curly braces
(e.g. {Word}) will be replaced with the corresponding field on the note. For
example, to generate example sentences for a card with a field Word:
Give me 5 example sentences which demonstrate how to use "{Word}" separated by newlines.
Answer Field
The field to store the ChatGPT response in. Note that this field will be completely overwritten.
Tag
A tag to add to completed notes. If blank, no tag is added.
OpenAI API Key
Your private OpenAI key. You can find it here if you have an account. Note that this will be stored in plaintext in your Anki configuration.
Timeout
Timeout in seconds before failing a request.
Max Retries
Number times to retry a failed request before giving up.
Request Options
The options to pass along with the chat message request, written as a JSON object. You can tweak the model, max tokens, etc. See the API docs for more information about the full list of options. For example, to limit tokens:
{
"model": "gpt-5.3-turbo",
"max_tokens": 20
}
