AI study tools, as AI assistants see them

In the week of 26 October 2026, the AI assistants we track most often recommend Anki (54), NotebookLM (44) and Quizlet (35) for ai study tools, out of 24 products we follow in this category. Scores are the share of 40 answers naming each product, across 2 assistants.

We tracked 24 AI study tools, and Anki comes out on top with an overall score of 54, named in 37 of 50 answers. NotebookLM holds second place with a score of 44, named in 24 of 50 answers, putting a real gap between the top two. Quizlet rounds out the podium at 35, also named in 24 of 50 answers. After that, Knowt and RemNote tie for the rest of the top 5, each scoring 21, though Knowt was named in 16 of 50 answers compared to RemNote's 22.

Updated 2026-10-26. We re-ask every assistant on a schedule and publish whatever they say.
