      <title>Built on Learning Science — Spaced Repetition and Active Recall</title>
      <link>https://ankicat.com/#science</link>
      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://ankicat.com/updates/learning-science</guid>
      <pubDate>Fri, 27 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate>
      <description>AnkiCat is built on decades of cognitive psychology research. Spaced repetition, active recall, and the testing effect — explained.</description>
      <content:encoded><![CDATA[
        <p>AnkiCat applies three evidence-based learning techniques:</p>
        <ul>
          <li><strong>Spaced Repetition:</strong> Cards return right before you would forget them.</li>
          <li><strong>Active Recall:</strong> Retrieving information from memory strengthens it more than re-reading.</li>
          <li><strong>The Testing Effect:</strong> Quizzes are both assessment and learning tools.</li>
        </ul>
        <p>Read the research: Dunlosky et al. (2013). Improving students' learning with effective learning techniques. <em>Psychological Science in the Public Interest.</em></p>

      <title>AI With Conscience: Only 1 Feature Uses AI, and We Pay For What We Use</title>
      <link>https://ankicat.com/</link>
      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://ankicat.com/updates/ai-conscience-credit-model</guid>
      <pubDate>Fri, 27 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate>
      <description>AnkiCat has 15+ features. Only 1 uses generative AI — and it does so with conscience: limited credits per subscription, per-use extras via Stripe, and a monthly cap. Backed by peer-reviewed research on AI's real environmental cost.</description>
      <content:encoded><![CDATA[
        <p>AnkiCat is a full study platform — flashcards, quizzes, spaced repetition, expert decks, sync, offline support, and more. Only one feature (AI deck drafting) uses generative AI.</p>
        <p><strong>How the credit model works:</strong> Subscriptions include limited AI drafting credits. Need more? Purchase extras per use via Stripe. A monthly cap prevents wasteful consumption. Every generation has a real environmental cost.</p>
        <p><strong>The data behind our decision (peer-reviewed):</strong></p>
        <ul>
          <li>Training GPT-3 evaporated 700,000 liters of clean freshwater in Microsoft's U.S. data centers.</li>
          <li>A typical 20-50 question AI conversation consumes about 500ml of water for cooling.</li>
          <li>Global AI demand is projected to withdraw 4.2-6.6 billion cubic meters of water in 2027 — more than the total annual water withdrawal of 4-6 Denmarks combined, or half the UK.</li>
        </ul>
        <p><strong>Source:</strong> Li, P., Yang, J., Islam, M. A., & Ren, S. (2023). Making AI Less "Thirsty". Communications of the ACM. <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.03271">arXiv:2304.03271</a></p>
        <p>AnkiCat's model: visible cost, intentional use, capped monthly. When you buy credits, you support economical AI — fewer wasted runs, less water for cooling, and flashcards generated only when your material deserves them.</p>
        <p><strong>Also:</strong> All support is human. Real Analyst CS Support team members, no chatbots, no deflection.</p>
