Pro Tip , if you're using LLMs to learn, create an MCP tool for them to insert Anki cards on topics you're discussing in a csv on google drive, then sync that with you anki decks on your phone.

This was a game changer for me and working with LLMS, while I still think they make you dumb, and we essentially use them to offload critical thinking (almost only find myself using them when tired lazy, and just cant), if you must use them use them as a study tool.

Speaking for myself, I’d love to see a blogpost detailing how this is done. At the very least, I’d love to know: How are you syncing csvs to anki cards and how does the MCP interaction look like for an LLMs response to the CSV creation

If I get time this week, I'll drop a README here that shows how to do it. Not too hard tho, read up how to build mcp with https://github.com/mark3labs/mcp-go

AnkiDroid has settings for linking a csv from google drive. Then just look up how to sync a local file/directory with Drive. Its just a matter of making sure the LLM knows the MCP Anki tool is available in every prompt (well I have a learning/Q&A prompt that uses this), then In the system prompt I tell it to make Anki cards whenever it seem like I'm having trouble with a concept, like asking a question twice, and to make sure the card doesn't exist already.
