OrbitStart with the material you need to learn
Paste a short section of your notes into ChatGPT and say what the cards are for. A focused passage usually makes it easier to spot missing context or an answer that is too broad.
Try: “Make short question-and-answer flashcards from only these notes. Put one idea on each card, keep the original meaning, and flag anything the notes do not explain.” Check the draft against your source before studying it. AI-generated answers can be wrong.
After checking and revising the cards, ask: “Format these cards as two tab-separated columns headed Question and Answer, with one card per line and no markdown table.”
Check and add the cards to Orbit
Ask ChatGPT to revise any card that tests two facts or has an answer that is too long. You can keep practicing the saved deck in ChatGPT. To use Orbit’s four-grade, due-date review schedule, open your Orbit library and choose Paste cards. Paste just the checked Question and Answer rows, without a code fence. Select or create a deck, then review the preview. Orbit flags missing answers and skips exact duplicate pairs before you import.
If tabs did not survive copying, choose CSV in the Paste cards dialog and ask ChatGPT for properly quoted, two-column CSV instead. Direct saving through the Orbit plugin is still in preview; a saved ChatGPT deck does not transfer automatically.
Return to the cards, not just the conversation
Open Orbit, choose a deck, and try to recall each answer before revealing it. Rate your recall with Again, Hard, Good, or Easy. Orbit uses those answers to decide when the card is due again, so you can spend more of your time on material that still needs practice.
