Improved

Weโ€™ve just shipped one of our biggest updates yet. Hereโ€™s whatโ€™s new in Memo:

๐ŸŽ™๏ธ Introducing Track Mode + Live Professor - Duolingo For Any PDF

Meet your AI professor.

Track Mode is a brand new way to learn out loud โ€” where your AI professor, guides you through your study materials like a real tutor.

  • ๐ŸŽฏ Stay on track: Follow a structured learning flow that breaks down your PDF source into sections and lessons - exactly like a Duolingo track but personalized to you.

  • ๐Ÿง  Teaches and flips pages: Your notes now come alive with real-time explanations, questions, and feedback. Your professor will even flip pages automatically during the lesson to guide the teaching flow.

  • ๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ Diagram and image understanding: Your AI professor can now explain and teach from any visual on your PDF โ€” including histology slides, anatomy diagrams, flowcharts, code snippets, labeled images, and tables.
    It will even point things out naturally, saying things like โ€œthis arrow here...โ€ or โ€œthis red circle...โ€.

  • ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ Hands-free learning: Speak, listen, and study like you're in a one-on-one tutorial. Guided notes and summary notes is within the same interface for you to read along the lesson.

  • โ“Practice Questions: After learning, go through 10-15 practice questions relevant to the lesson which includes multiple choice, short answer questions, fill in the blank and long answer questions to reinforce what you learnt.


๐Ÿช„ Playground Mode โ€“ Fully Released

Our interactive study canvas just graduated from beta โ€” and itโ€™s now one of the most powerful ways to visualize, organize, and connect what youโ€™re learning.

๐Ÿงฉ Link your knowledge

Move beyond linear studying. In Playground Mode, you can drag flashcards from any deck onto an infinite canvas, placing them side by side to reflect how ideas relate across topics, systems, and disciplines.
Draw arrows to represent causation, contrast, flow, or dependency โ€” and build your own concept map, like a visual web of understanding.

This method mirrors how top students โ€” especially in medicine, law, and engineering โ€” mentally connect ideas during exams and essays. Itโ€™s about seeing the big picture, not just isolated facts.

๐Ÿง  Why it works

Research in cognitive psychology shows that organizing knowledge spatially (like in mind maps or concept maps) improves:

  • Active recall (by embedding memory in structure)

  • Transfer learning (applying ideas in new contexts)

  • Long-term retention (by promoting meaningful associations)

This is how high performers turn notes into understanding โ€” and now, you can do the same inside Memo.

๐Ÿ—ƒ๏ธ Playground Management

Weโ€™ve added a dedicated Playgrounds tab where you can now:

  • Create and manage multiple playgrounds for different subjects, blocks, or exam periods

  • Sort your canvases into folders for better organization

  • Access your most recently opened playgrounds instantly from the top for seamless workflow

Whether youโ€™re building a high-yield renal map or connecting pathology flashcards with treatment guidelines, each playground becomes a personal knowledge space.

โœ… No more beta. Just better learning.

Playground Mode is now fully released and ready to support your deepest thinking and most complex topics.


โš™๏ธ Enhancements

  • The Flashcards Copilot now automatically recommends an optimal number of flashcards based on your selected PDF or topic.

  • New deck creation interface: when viewing a new deck, thereโ€™s now a blurred preview state with clear options to either Deep Dive or manually create cards.

  • We have added secondary backup providers to increased uptime. You can check out our status page at status.memo.cards.

  • Improved manual card creation workflow

  • Sidebar width has been shrunken a little bit to improve readability of main windows

  • Added โ€œview changelogโ€ button back on sidebar to easily view recent changes like this

  • Learn mode has increased in stability with secondary provider fallback

๐Ÿž The Bugs We Squashed

  • Fixed an issue where users could only input one letter at a time when editing flashcards.

  • Resolved a bug that prevented deck renaming in the folder page pop-up dialog.

๐Ÿ‘‹ If you have read all the way this far, thank you! Memo is founded by 2 medical students (year 3 and year 4) and we are committed to making Memo the best AI learning platform for students - made by students. Thank you for your continued support and feedback that helps us improve!

โ€ผ๏ธ Memo copilot chat has now been swapped by default to the left-hand side to facilitate an easier copilot and chatting workflow. You can easily revert this in settings if desired! We recommend keeping it on the left though (you will get used to it, trust :D )

Changes

  • Copilot Chat Layout: Relocated default placement to the left-hand side for better accessibility on laptops and tablets, with options to revert changes in settings. This is to match the industry standard for chatting workflows tending towards the left hand side for easier chatting and copilot workflows.

โ€ข Automatic OCR: All PDFs now undergo rigorous OCR processing

โ€ข Image & Diagram Analysis: AI understands images, diagrams, and scanned content

โ€ข Toggle Option: Can be disabled in settings to revert to text-based extraction

PDF upload character limit has now been completely removed! Please note larger and extremely long PDFs has yet to be thoroughly tested and changes and optimizations will occur for extreme long PDF uploads down the line. Please upload large PDFs with caution and expect occasional errors and drop in performance. At the moment, we recommend limiting or splitting your PDFs to less than 50 pages in Memo for optimum performance.

๐ŸŽ‰ Introducing Deep Dive (Bulk Create Flashcards with AI Agentically)

DeepDive is an improved iteration of our original function of converting PDF to flashcards (for those OG folks who have been with us since the PDF2Anki era - thank you ๐Ÿฅน). DeepDive is now available across all sources, including not just PDF but also flashcards, YouTube videos, custom topics, custom texts, etc.

It now executes in the background, enabling seamless page-by-page analysis, even for large files, while notifying you via email as well as a notification in the UI once done.

  • Page-by-Page Analysis: AI now examines every single page of your material

  • Two Flashcard Modes of Standard Mode with rich formatting, tables, and highlighted keywords and Minimal Information Principle of clean cards without bullets or tables

  • Advanced Options: Custom instructions, smart card processing, and creativity controls

Cards created with DeepDive will have automatic formatting, automatic topic categorization, as well as multi-page-source finding. So when you review the flashcards, a flashcard could show image sources in learn and flashcard mode across multiple pages from your PDF.

๐Ÿง  Introduce Mindmap Mode

Mindmap mode is our newest visualization tool that transforms your learning materials into interactive, hierarchical knowledge maps. This powerful feature combines the flexibility of traditional mind mapping with AI-powered insights, allowing you to see connections between concepts and create visual study guides instantly.

You can access playground mode by selecting Playground mode on the sidebar on laptop and tablet devices. Mindmap mode is a separate entity (mindmaps are on a per deck level where as playground mode allows you to have flashcards across all decks on an infinite canvas)

๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ Introducing Feynman Mode

Named after the famous physicist Richard Feynman's learning technique, this mode lets you explain concepts out loud to test your understanding. Simply speak to Memo about any topic from your materials, and our AI tutor will listen, provide feedback, and help identify gaps in your knowledge. It's like having a patient study partner available 24/7 who knows your course materials inside and out.

Pro users have access to 200 minutes of Feynman usage per month and Unlimited users have access to 500 minutes of Feynman usage per month. You can always contact us at support@xon.so for more hardcore use cases and we will reset your quota for you.

๐Ÿ“บ YouTube Import is Now Generally Available!

Learning from video content just got easier! Simply paste any YouTube URL into Memo, and we'll transcribe the content, create timestamped notes, and let you chat with the video content just like you would with a PDF. Perfect for lecture recordings, educational content, or any video you want to study from. Create flashcards with exact video timestamps, so you can always jump back to the source material while studying.

โ€ข Video Import: Use YouTube videos as learning sources

โ€ข Timestamp References: Get exact timestamps in chats, notes, and flashcards

โ€ข Full Integration: Chat with, summarize, and create materials from videos

This flexibility lets you organize your study materials exactly how you want them, whether in Memo or Notion.

โ€ข Structured Learning: Convert PDFs into organized Notion-style toggles

โ€ข Full Editability: Edit toggles in Memo's notes tab with various block types

โ€ข Notion Compatible: Copy-paste directly to Notion with retained formatting

This amazing feature has been suggested and fine tuned by Wing - an amazing medical student now intercalating in a Masters in Microbiology (London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine).

New Settings Options

A new high demand feature where you can turn off the sound chime in Flashcard mode. This allows for a continuously non-interrupted background music playback on mobile.

You can now also turn off the new OCR during upload PDF processing. By default this is turned on to allow analysis of images, diagrams and scanned PDFs. You may turn it off to resolve back to our previous text-only extraction behavior (which will yield a faster upload process if this is valued).

๐Ÿ“Š Plan Updates
