Write a prompt, associate it with a note type and field, and Smart Notes will automatically generate that field for you at review time – or generate groups of notes with a single click
Tools > Addons > Get Addon, paste in plugin id 1531888719. Restart Anki.
Tools > Smart Notes.
Smart fields are AI generated fields associated with a particular card type. They may reference other fields, and you can have as many smart fields as you like.
-
Click Tools > Smart Notes.
-
Pick the
card typeandtarget fieldyou want to automatically generate. -
Then, write the
promptthat will be automatically sent to Claude/ChatGPT/DeepSeek to generate thetarget field.
💡 Tip: Uncheck "Always Generate Smart Field" if you don't want the smart field generated by default, and prefer to generate it manually by right clicking the field in the editor.
A prompt may reference any other field on the card via {{double curly braces}}.
For example, if you're studying a language and want to generate a mmemonic to aid in memorization, you might make a prompt like this (assuming you have a field called "vocab"):
Create a simple, memorable mmemonic in Japanese for the word {{vocab}}. Reply with only the mmemonic.
It's often useful to tell language model to "only reply" with the phrase you care about.
You can't reference the target field, or other smart fields – but the addon will validate your prompt, so don't worry!
Generate smart notes during review, in edit or add flows, or batched in the card browser.
Smart fields are automatically generated in the background at review time.
This is approach is super useful if you import notes via AnkiConnect (Yomichan, etc) - simply set up your smart fields and no further effort required.
A sparkle emoji will briefly show (we love sparkle).
Note that you can turn automatic generation off in Smart Notes > Advanced.
Smart fields can also be generated prior to review. To generate all smart fields on a note, press ctrl+shift+g (on Mac: cmd+shift+g) or click the ✨ button in the editor:
Clicking ✨ a single time will generate only empty smart fields. Click it a second time to regenerate the entire note.
To (re)generate a single smart field, right click it in the editor and click "Generate Smart Field":
In the notes browser, select a group of notes and then right click > generate smart fields to generate multiple notes.
Generate an entire deck or note type by right clicking it in the browser.
- Tools > Smart Notes > Language Models: to select a different language model
- Tools > Smart Notes > TTS: to select a different TTS model.
Smart fields can reference as many other fields on your card as you like, including other smart fields. Set up complex pipelines!

Using OpenAI, Anthropic, and TTS models all cost money, so Smart Notes is a paid plugin.
