A cheat sheet maker that knows what matters
Not a wall of text. NotizAI turns each source into a calm revision sheet where the core statements, the terms you need and the classic pitfalls stand out in colour.
A good cheat sheet, or study sheet as many students call it, is the opposite of a transcript. It keeps the argument, drops the repetition and makes the important parts impossible to miss. Making one by hand is a useful exercise, but it takes an evening per lecture that most students don't have in week nine. NotizAI is a cheat sheet maker that writes this kind of sheet from every source you add.
Each note follows the structure of its source and groups related points under headings. Then it marks four kinds of content with a fixed colour: mint for core points, butter for things to remember, lavender for key terms and blush for points to watch out for. The colours never change meaning, so after a few weeks your eyes go to the right place first.
This is what makes highlighted notes different from highlighting a PDF yourself. When you highlight while reading, everything feels important and half the page ends up yellow. NotizAI's highlights are selective and sorted by type, so a revision sheet shows you at a glance what the lecture was about, which terms you need to define and where the exam traps are.
Every note stays editable. Add an example your lecturer mentioned, shorten a section you already know, or rewrite a point in your own words. If a note doesn't suit you, you can rate it, and the source text always stays in its own tab.
The study sheet is also the base for everything else. Flashcards, the quiz, the mind map, the infographic and Ask AI all work from the same note, so the colours you read on the sheet are the same priorities the cards and questions test.
Contract law · Offer and acceptance
A contract is formed when an offer is matched by an acceptance that mirrors its terms.
Invitation to treat: an invitation to make offers, such as goods on a shelf or an advertisement.
An offer can be withdrawn until it has been accepted, provided the withdrawal reaches the other party.
Remember: an acceptance with new terms is a counter-offer, which rejects the original offer.
Watch out, exam classic: silence generally does not count as acceptance.
What the four colours mean
Mint marks the statements the rest of the topic depends on: if you could only remember three sentences, these are they. Butter marks details worth memorising, like a formula, a date or a rule of thumb. Lavender marks technical terms you should be able to define. Blush marks misunderstandings, exceptions and the questions that catch people out in exams.
How to revise with a study sheet
First pass: read only the mint lines and try to explain the topic from them. Second pass: cover the lavender terms and define them aloud. Third pass: read the blush warnings and check you know why each one is a trap. Then close the sheet and do the quiz.
A revision sheet per lecture, all semester
Because every source gets its sheet automatically, you build up a stack of revision sheets as the semester goes on, not in the last fortnight. Before the exam, the notebook overview combines them into one summary for the course.
How it works
Add any source
A recording, slides, a PDF, a video, photos or your own text.
Open the study sheet
Headings follow the source; the four colours mark what matters.
Read the colours first
Mint for the big statements, lavender for the terms, blush for traps.
Make it yours
Edit, shorten or add to the note wherever you like.
Move on to testing
Use the flashcards and quiz built from the same sheet.
In your semester
Reading before a seminar
Ten minutes with the sheet tells you the argument, the terms and the open questions to raise.
The week after a lecture
Skim the mint lines to reconnect with the topic before the next session builds on it.
The last days before the exam
Read the blush warnings across all sheets of the course; they are the most likely trick questions.
Explaining a topic to a classmate

Good to know
- The highlights are a starting point, not a verdict on what will be in your exam. Your lecturer's hints still count most.
- A note can only mark what is in the source. A thin source makes a thin sheet.
- Notes are editable and can be rated, so you can adjust anything that doesn't fit how you learn.
Questions
What is a study sheet?
A short, structured summary of one topic with the most important points, terms and pitfalls, made for revision rather than for reading once.
How does NotizAI make a cheat sheet from my lecture?
It reads the recording, document or video, organizes the content under headings and marks core points, things to remember, key terms and pitfalls in four colours.

Mint is a core point, butter is something to remember, lavender is a key term and blush is a point to watch out for.
