Not every hour of interview prep needs to be a full mock interview. Sometimes you just need to drill a set of concepts — SQL joins, OOP principles, a specific framework's lifecycle methods, common HR phrasing — quickly, and check whether you actually remember them or just recognise them when you see the answer. That's the gap Sanviora's new AI Flashcards feature is built for.
What it actually does
You describe what you want to study — a category, a specific topic, and as much detail as you want to give ("REST API design for a backend interview" is enough, but you can go more specific) — and pick how many cards you want. The AI generates a full deck: question on one side, answer on the other, sometimes with a short hint. You study it like a normal flashcard deck — tap to reveal the answer, then rate how well you actually knew it.
The rating scale is the whole point
Every card gets rated on a 5-point scale — Blank, Hard, Shaky, Good, Instant — not a vague "did I know this or not." That specificity matters more than it sounds like it would. A card you got right after five seconds of hesitation ("Shaky") and a card you nailed instantly ("Instant") are not the same level of knowing, and treating them the same is exactly how people walk into interviews overconfident about concepts they can only half-recall under pressure.
Why the second study session feels different
The first time through a deck, cards come in the order they were generated. Every session after that, the deck reorders itself — the cards you rated worst come first, the ones you've already nailed repeatedly drop toward the back. You're not re-drilling what you already know; you're spending your limited study time on the actual gaps. If you've never studied a deck before, it shows as "not yet studied," not a zero score — the app is careful not to make an untouched deck look like a failed one.
When to use flashcards instead of a mock interview
Flashcards are for recall — can you produce the fact, the term, the concept, fast, without a full sentence of context around it. A mock interview is for something different: structuring an answer out loud, handling a follow-up you didn't expect, managing the actual pressure of a live conversation. Neither replaces the other. A reasonable rhythm for most people: flashcards for the concepts you keep blanking on, then a full AI Mock Interview to practise actually explaining them under interview conditions.
Getting started
You don't need an account to try it — describe a topic, pay for the deck, and start studying immediately. If you come back and study the same deck again later, your full rating history is kept per session, not overwritten, so you can actually see whether a concept that was "Shaky" last week has become "Good" this week.
