This genuinely looks great. Thanks for linking me to it in Github!

Now, as I’ve said before, it is better to mention the feature rather than the technology. One possibility that I see here is of a more general semantic search feature. Preferably, accessibile from the browser. I have seen somebody recently bringing this up, although they didn’t mention Al or LLM. I believe more people will use AnkiHub for “semantic search” then they will for the underlying “AI”. Perhaps such phrases can be used as alternatives to “AI”. From a personal standpoint, I would love having something like a “Google search” inside Anki : )

Apart from this, a few questions will help define better terms to use instead of AI. How is a user supposed to use the chat bot? How will this fit into the workflow of a user? Is it supposed to replace Google search for complex topics medical students study? How is it necessary to access the chat bot from the review screen? Do users suspend one card while studying another card from a different note?

Yes, the chatbot and vector search allows quickly finding related notes (based either on the current note on is studying or on input documents) and unsuspending them. Students can use the chatbot however they want, including as a replacement for search engines.

Here’s an overview of the chatbot workflow:

And here’s an overview of both semantic similarity search and the chatbot (and how they fit together):
