Automating an Analyst’s Self-Education: From Documentation to a Knowledge Card Index

When you have to simultaneously master a new technology, navigate the intricacies of a domain, and still remember your teammates’ names, you might feel like a superhero… or at least an exhausted person.

In this talk, I’ll show you how to use ChatGPT and Anki to turn tedious memorisation into a kind of game. Instead of rescuing a princess, you’ll be rescuing your time and sanity.

We’ll take a PDF packed with analytical nuances, teach ChatGPT to extract the most valuable questions and answers, and then use Python (with the genanki library) to wrap it all up into a handy Anki deck. All you’ll have to do is answer the questions, click “show answer”, and enjoy the process over a cup of coffee. Your brain’s safety is guaranteed!
