Description

Turn any topic into a ready-to-study Anki deck. This workflow generates vocabulary flashcards with AI images and native pronunciation, then sends the .apkg file straight to your inbox.

What it does

1. You fill out a simple form (topic, languages, difficulty)
2. GPT-4 creates vocabulary with translations, readings, and example sentences
3. DALL-E 3 generates a unique image for each word
4. ElevenLabs adds native pronunciation audio (word + example)
5. Everything gets packaged into a real .apkg file
6. The deck lands in your email, ready to import into Anki
7. A backup copy saves to Google Sheets

Why I built this I was spending hours making flashcards by hand for language learning. Finding images, recording audio, formatting everything for Anki… it took forever. This workflow does all of that in about 3 minutes.

Setup (~15 min)

1. Install npm packages: jszip and sql.js
2. Add OpenAI credentials (for GPT-4 + DALL-E)
3. Add ElevenLabs credentials
4. Connect Gmail and Google Sheets via OAuth
5. Update OPENAI_API_KEY in the DALL-E code node
6. Update the Spreadsheet ID in the Sheets node
