Turn your Obsidian notes into an active study session powered by AI.
Deep Notes is an Obsidian plugin that transforms your notes into an interactive learning experience. Open any note, pick a study mode, and let AI generate questions tailored to your content. Answer, get evaluated, and schedule your next review without leaving Obsidian.

| MCQ | Multiple choice questions on your note content. Answer all, then get a score. |
