Study smarter. Learn deeper.
Alma is an AI study platform for medical students, nursing students, nurse practitioners and physician assistants. Upload your lectures and notes. Alma turns them into board-style questions, spaced-repetition flashcards, mind maps and practice patients for the exam you're actually sitting.

What you get
One workflow, from lecture to exam
Everything below is included for every specialty. What changes is the exam it points at.
Learning Hub
Upload a lecture. Get the study materials back.
Drop in a lecture PDF, a slide deck, a Word file or an image, or paste text. Out come exam-style questions, slides you can edit, a mind map, and cards you can import into a deck.
PDF, PowerPoint, Word and images, up to 100 MB each, or pasted text
Questions in your exam's style, with every option explained
A report on what you got right and what to revisit
Editable slides you can export to PowerPoint
Notebook
Notes that organise themselves
Write during a lecture, a rotation or your own reading. Then turn the notes into pictures, flashcards or a mind map. The Notebook also builds a knowledge graph that links the concepts across everything you've written.
Mind maps and data tables from the notes you pick
A knowledge graph that builds itself
Ask Alma a question and she answers from your notes
Select a line for a flashcard, or a paragraph for a diagram
Flashcards
Spaced repetition that respects your time
Cards are scheduled with FSRS, which models how you forget instead of using one interval for everyone. You choose the retention you want, from 70 to 97 percent, and the forecast shows your next 30 days of reviews.
FSRS, with a retention target you choose
Image occlusion for anatomy, histology and imaging
Cards from notes, Learning Hub notebooks and books
Anki decks import and export, so your cards aren't locked in
Practice Patients
Rehearse the encounter before it is graded
A simulated patient you interview, examine and work up in stages, marked at the end. You can't practise that part of an exam from a list of questions.
Four stages: history, physical exam, investigations, diagnosis and plan
Chat with the patient. The examiner gives findings only when you ask
A random case from the presentation you pick, so the diagnosis is a surprise
Free stations every week, unlimited on a paid plan
AI Assistant
Ask your own notes a question
Ask Alma a question and she answers from your notes, your uploads and your decks. For medical questions she checks PubMed and cites what she finds.
Answers from your own notebook
PubMed when your notes don't cover it, instead of a guess
On every page, so a question doesn't cost you your place
Podcasts
Real shows, organised. And episodes of your own.
A library of human-hosted medical education shows, pulled in from the shows' own feeds and sorted by topic. Create your podcast is something else: a private episode made from your own notes, files or a topic, in AI voices that are labeled as such.
Search, and filter by category and stage
