Anki add-on: AI SideBar 🩺🤖

Overview I’m a medical student at St. George’s University and built this add‑on to streamline my own studying without paying anything(something other add-ons try to sneak in). After daily use, I cleaned it up to share with fellow students. It embeds ChatGPT directly into Anki as a docked sidebar with fast keyboard shortcuts — especially useful for USMLE, NAVLE and INBDE‑style studying. UPDATE TO FIX NIGHT MODE ERROR AND ADJUST PREFILLED TEXT OPTIONS + MORE IS FEATURES COMING SOON This works with any kind of deck, premade or custom Map the shortcuts to your controller ONCE YOU LOGIN IT MAY NOT SEEM LIKE YOU ARE ---> RESTART ANKI , you should be logged in after What it does 🧠 Embeds ChatGPT in a docked sidebar inside Anki(Drag and drop photos into the textbox enabled) ⚡ One‑key copy & pasting of the current card’s content 🔍 Supports near‑fullscreen floating mode while preserving the same conversation 🌑 Automatically forces dark mode in the embedded view Demo Hotkeys (reviewing deck only) ⌨️ C — Toggle the sidebar ⌨️ Shift + C or P — Paste the current card text into ChatGPT (also opens the sidebar + pastes card text if closed -> press Enter to send) Why two keys? Having two keys for the same action makes it easier to configure third‑party controllers or custom key mappings. Top bar buttons ✖️ — Hide the sidebar ⧉ — Toggle docked ⇄ near‑fullscreen ❓ — Open a quick help popup inside Anki Usage tip After pasting (Shift + C or P), press Enter to submit your prompt — no mouse click required. Login note The initial ChatGPT login screen MAY appear partially off‑screen. If possible, log in via a visible option such as Google. If you need to type your email, click where the text box should be, type your email, and press the button — the next screen will display normally. ONCE YOU LOGIN IT MAY NOT SEEM LIKE YOU ARE ---> RESTART ANKI , you should be logged in after If you use multiple profiles within anki you will need to sign into ChatGPT for each profile About stability This is a personal project built alongside medical school. While it’s tested extensively in my workflow, there may still be bugs or edge cases. If something doesn’t behave as expected, try restarting Anki, toggling the sidebar once or twice, or reinstalling the add‑on. I apologize in advance for any issues and appreciate your patience.
