Anki is a spaced repetition flashcard program. Anki is the Japanese word for memorization.
The SM2 algorithm, created for SuperMemo in the late 1980s, forms the basis of the spaced repetition methods employed in the program. Anki's implementation of the algorithm has been modified to allow priorities on cards and to show cards in order of their urgency.
The cards are presented using HTML and may include text, images, sounds, videos, and LaTeX equations. The decks of cards, along with the user's statistics, are stored in the open SQLite format.
Anki is a consumer robotics and artificial intelligence startup. Anki technology programs physical objects to be intelligent and adaptable in the physical world and is designed to solve the problems of positioning, reasoning, and execution in artificial intelligence and robotics. Positioning is the ability to know where an object is in relation to its environment. Reasoning calculates multiple scenarios. Execution is taking the most optimal path to meet an objective.
Anki intends to apply artificial intelligence to real-life scenarios. The company debuted Anki Drive during the 2013 Apple Worldwide Developers Conference keynote, when Apple Inc. CEO Tim Cook took the unusual step of ceding the stage early in his presentation to an unknown company. Anki was "handpicked for a coveted slot as the poster child for what unknown developers can do with iOS" ( CNET). The company, which some have said is starting a "consumer robotics revolution," received $50 million in Series A and Series B venture funding from Andreessen Horowitz, Index Ventures, and Two Sigma. Marc Andreessen and Danny Rimer serve on the company's board. In his personal blog, Andreessen called Anki "the best robotics startup I have ever seen."
