Awful new version

I used to use it all the time, now its frustrating and not clear. Generating is so bad, and to get what you want is impossible. Switching to turboAI

    Hey Eliza,

    Sorry to hear you're finding the new version frustrating. We've been working hard to improve things, so I'd really appreciate it if you could share a bit more about what you found unclear or what made the generation quality feel worse for you.

    Your feedback is super valuable, and I'd be happy to add some extra credits to your account for your time.

      WIth the previous version I just had one prompt that I used, and it always gave me what I needed - all the slides covered, fair weighting of the topics and good level of details. With this, either it gets bugged when I ask him to do it, or I have to do extra steps like additional instructions for weighting the topics (which then it proceeds to ignore and does it all randomly again), or it only does what I want with 160 flashcards instead of 40-80 (which then leads it to get stuck 5 times during generating). It gets stuck every 5 minutes, and also the field with number of flashcards is malfunctioning - you have to use the arrows to adjust the number of cards which is super frustrating. What’s more, when I export it, it doesnt include anymore the pdf reference to ANKI even tho I already changed the setting. It doesnt cite more than 1 slide, which was possible with the previous version (yes I put it in the prompt). It just feels like I have to do 50 extra steps before I can achieve something close to what I used to achieve with 1 prompt in the previous version. Does it have more nuances? Maybe. But its extremely inefficient, and not good if I need a bulk generation of flashcards from 4 presentations each 100-200 slides we go over everyday in med school. I have been paying for memo for over a year, but this new update is just a joke.

        Hey Eliza,

        Thanks for sharing this detailed feedback. I'm sorry to hear about the frustrating experience you've had with the new flashcard generation.

        We've rolled out several updates over the past few days to address issues like the ones you've described, including problems with getting stuck, prompt instructions being ignored, and Anki export settings.

        Could you please give it another try and let me know if things are working better for you now? Hearing about your experience is super helpful for us to get this right.
