The backstory
Quizlet is a study platform built on flashcards and study sets, with a huge library of user-created material and a big classroom footprint. Anyone can now ask a chatbot to turn notes into flashcards in seconds, so the "create study material" job became commodity. Quizlet is wounded because generation is free elsewhere. It survives on its enormous existing set library and school adoption, but the core creation task no longer needs a dedicated app.
