Ask HN: AI tools for learning and spaced repetition

1 points by alastairr ↗ HN
I'm looking for any products for learning new topics and that are designed for helping users retain new knowledge - eg. with spaced repetition or smart use of follow-up questions.

I can almost get chatgpt to do this, and their voice mode is great for question / answer, but it's not really setup to understand / track what you know and what your learning objectives are.

Curious to find out any positive experiences of any new tools out there.

The missing piece in most learning tools: they assume you manually feed them content.

But where does that content come from? You're already: - Reading HN discussions - Following newsletters - Monitoring subreddits - Scanning Discord servers

What if the same AI that filters this information also: 1. Identifies concepts worth remembering 2. Generates SRS cards automatically 3. Tracks what you've mastered vs what needs review

You'd go from "information overload" → "filtered insights" → "retained knowledge" in one pipeline.

Passive consumption → Active retention, automatically.

This is the direction I'm exploring with Daigest (currently does steps 1-2, considering adding 3). Anyone else see value in this workflow?
