Knowt: AI Meeting Assistants for Students
Most AI Meeting Assistants tools require live meeting audio; Knowt records lectures or imports PDFs, slides, and videos into flashcards and study plans. Students get a study plan and predicted exam questions, so Knowt fits exam prep rather than live-call capture. Built for exam-week cramming — teams coordinating live meetings will hit its ceiling fast.

What Knowt Does
Students and teachers use Knowt to turn lecture recordings, PDFs, slides, and videos into flashcards, notes, and practice exams.
Knowt runs an AI pipeline over uploaded files to generate flashcards, summarized notes, and exam-style questions, then schedules review through Learn mode and spaced repetition. The Exam Predictor cross-references multiple class files to flag material a professor emphasizes, building a study plan ordered by topic importance. Teachers use the same upload step to build class materials from a recorded lecture. Knowt also imports existing Quizlet sets through its Chrome extension, so switching platforms does not require rebuilding a flashcard library.
Main Features
Exam Predictor & Plan
Students upload syllabi, lecture recordings, notes, and slides, and Knowt builds a study plan mapped to class units plus a predicted exam from recurring themes across that material. The plan tracks progress per topic and flags what remains before a set test date. Accuracy depends on how complete the uploaded material is.
AI Lecture Summarizer
Knowt records a live lecture through its browser or app, then converts the audio into notes, flashcards, a practice test, and interactive review games for each unit. Teachers turn a single class session into a full set of study materials without writing anything by hand. Review material maps directly onto what was taught in that session.
Flashcards
Knowt’s flashcard tool is free and unlimited, letting students create, edit, and share sets without a paywall on core study modes. Cards support Learn mode, Match, and spaced repetition for scheduled review, and sets can be made public for other students to browse freely. Collaboration lets a class split up material before an exam.
Chrome Extension & Imports
Knowt’s Chrome extension pulls content from other sites into the platform, including Quizlet sets, Wayground and Kahoot activities, and YouTube videos. Students switching from Quizlet keep existing flashcard decks instead of recreating them by hand. Imports land in the same study modes as native Knowt sets, so mixed-source material still runs through Learn mode.
Use Cases
-
Exam Preparation
Students bring lecture recordings, slides, and PDFs, and Knowt converts them into a tailored study plan plus a predicted exam built from recurring themes in the uploaded material, ordered unit by unit.
-
Lecture Summarization
Teachers record a class session, and Knowt’s AI Lecture Summarizer turns the audio into notes, flashcards, a practice test, and interactive games. This replaces manual note-writing after each lecture and gives a class a ready-made set of review material.
-
Flashcard Creation
Students create flashcard sets for free and share them with classmates, using Learn mode and spaced repetition to schedule review. Public sets let a class divide chapters and pool finished decks before an exam.
Best For / Not For
Knowt is built for students and teachers who convert existing course files, like lecture recordings and PDFs, into study material rather than build it from scratch. Students cramming for a specific exam, teachers managing a class of dozens, and self-studiers preparing for AP, SAT, or ACT tests get the most use from the upload-to-flashcard pipeline. Knowt is not for users who need enterprise-grade learning management or multilingual course support: the free plan runs ads and limits AI summaries, and Ultra itself caps video and PDF uploads at 100 each per month.
Pricing
Knowt’s core flashcard and note tools are free with unlimited storage; Ultra adds AI summarization and lecture tools at $24.99 per month, billed monthly, or $95.99 billed annually.

Quick Comparison
Fathom is Knowt’s main alternative for converting recorded sessions into searchable notes and summaries for teams. Fathom records live Zoom and Google Meet calls automatically and syncs notes directly into a CRM. Knowt instead builds flashcards, practice tests, and a predicted exam from uploaded course files and lecture recordings. Choose Fathom if you need automated meeting transcripts synced to a CRM. Choose Knowt if you are studying from course material and want exam-ready flashcards.
Verdict
Knowt generates flashcards, notes, and practice exams from uploaded course files for free, with Ultra adding lecture summarization and voice tutoring at $24.99 per month. Knowt fits exam cramming for students, not live meeting capture for professionals.
