We're excited to announce the release of Memo AI v6.0! After our v5.0 release in December 2024, we've been hard at work enhancing our AI learning platform with powerful new features and improvements to make your studying experience even better.

TLDR Changes in Bullet Points (Scroll below table for more detailed info):

✨ Introducing Memo Copilot

Memo Copilot is the next era in AI and human collaborative learning, allowing you to ask questions about your source (with citations of timestamps for YouTube videos or page numbers for PDFs). Copilot can be your personal tutor trained your learning materials, allow you to receive responses anytime by simply asking a question. Copilot can also take action - you can ask Memo copilot to generate flashcards, generate notes, generate mind maps, critique your current existing flashcards, read and explain which page you are currently on. Copilot generated material of flashcards and mind maps can then be automatically added to your deck to view and study automatically by pressing the “Add to Deck” button.

• Chat with any PDF: Copilot can understand and retrieve relevant pages from your PDF to help answer your query.

• Understands diagrams and images: If OCR is turned on when uploading your deck, (turned on by default), copilot can understand, read and explain diagrams and images from your PDF (including scanned copies and diagram heavy lecture slides)

• Generate flashcards: Besides from the DeepDive mode, copilot can also generate more tailored flashcards based on your prompt, allowing for maximum personalization. For large amounts of flashcards, we still recommend DeepDive mode (learn more below). Copilot will also have its own follow up confirmation steps to ask you about the amount and topics for more personalized flashcards.

• Generate mind maps: Copilot can also generate the first draft of your mind map which can be added to the new mind map tab in Memo 6.0. You can further refine your mind map as well by continuing to prompt suggestions.

• New Interface: Completely revamped chat UI with auto-scrolling and improved markdown rendering

• Code Syntax Highlighting: Support for programming-related topics and code blocks rendering

• Streaming Interface: Sleek interface showing flashcards being generated in real-time when creating flashcards using Memo copilot

• Visual Understanding: Drag and drop external images or screenshots to chat visually with copilot

🤩 Memo Now Understands All Visual Images & Diagrams with Automatic OCR

When you upload your PDF, we will automatically process all text (including text within images and diagrams), analyze visual content like charts, graphs, and medical illustrations, and make everything searchable and accessible to Memo Copilot, notes and Feynman.

• Automatic OCR: All PDFs now undergo rigorous OCR processing

• Image & Diagram Analysis: AI understands images, diagrams, and scanned content

• Toggle Option: Can be disabled in settings to revert to text-based extraction

🎉 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 🥹). 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.

🧠 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.

• Infinite Canvas: Create expansive mind maps with toggles

• Concept Linking: Connect ideas and concepts visually

• Copilot Integration: Generate mind maps directly from your study materials

🛝 Introducing Playground Mode

Playground mode is a freeform canvas where you can drag and drop flashcards from any of your decks to create custom study layouts. Perfect for visualizing connections between topics or organizing cards your way. Simply select "Add to Playground" on any flashcard to start building your personalized study space.

• Interactive Visualization: Drag and drop flashcards onto an infinite canvas

• Concept Linkage: Visualize connections between ideas

• Enhanced Learning: Move beyond isolated flashcard memorization

🗣️ 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.

• Interactive Voice Tutor: Trained on your specific materials

• Real-Time Feedback: Get immediate guidance as you explain concepts

• Improved Voice Recognition: Enhanced clarity and reduced latency

• Emotional AI Voice: More natural tutoring experience

• Multilingual Understanding: Speak in multiple languages (English output only for now - more coming soon!)

📺 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.

• Video Import: Use YouTube videos as learning sources

• Timestamp References: Get exact timestamps in chats, notes, and flashcards

• Full Integration: Chat with, summarize, and create materials from videos

📒 Notion Toggles Mode now Available in Notes

Transform your PDFs into an organized, collapsible format similar to Notion. Edit your toggles directly in Memo's notes tab using different block types, or copy-paste them into Notion with all formatting preserved. This flexibility lets you organize your study materials exactly how you want them, whether in Memo or Notion.

• Structured Learning: Convert PDFs into organized Notion-style toggles

• Full Editability: Edit toggles in Memo's notes tab with various block types

• Notion Compatible: Copy-paste directly to Notion with retained formatting

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).

📊 Plan Updates

We've revamped our pricing plans to give you more value and flexibility. All plans now include higher quotas and improved features, with our Pro and Unlimited plans offering enhanced AI capabilities for serious learners.
