AI Card Splitter

AI Card Splitter is an Anki add-on that uses AI to automatically split a single flashcard into multiple, smaller cards.
It is designed to help learners avoid oversized cards and maintain an effective spaced repetition workflow, especially for complex subjects such as medicine, biology, and law.
