From the matching tab of the course, or right at import — the wizard asks what you want to get: the lesson, a summary, memo cards, questions. At least one must be ticked; each item is ticked on its own, without pulling in the others.
For memo cards, you choose their basis, inside their tile (Based on):
- Lesson: the full text, so more cards and more detail (without a lesson, it's your original document, the Source).
- Summary: shorter, already filtered, so tighter cards.
Questions start from your memo cards when you generate some; without cards, from the lesson, or failing that from your source. The questions tile tells you which.
The AI picks each question’s format among the eleven available, and favours those that make you retrieve (short answer, numeric answer, reordering, sorting into categories, completing a table) over those that only make you recognise (multiple choice, true / false).
For questions drawn from your memo cards, you choose how many questions per card before you start: one (the default), two or three. With several, Jin varies the formats on each card. The number of questions and their cost are shown before you start, and Jin never creates more — including when you ask it for questions on a single card.
Everything is generated à la carte, at any time and in any order: the lesson, the summary, memo cards or questions, each on its own. On a course, the Generate button shows what already exists, what can be generated and what it costs. Without a lesson, Jin starts from your original document; if the lesson comes later, it attaches the existing cards to the lesson, and links your questions to their memo cards. While generating, Jin tells you what it is doing and what it sees.
Before generating, Jin reads the whole document and sorts each passage: course material, method, studied document (a court ruling, a reproduced text), exercise, or what isn't course material (introduction, schedule, table of contents, bibliography, footnotes). Course material gives memo cards; a studied document only gives its essentials (the ruling and its scope, the author's thesis); an exercise becomes a question, with its worked answer when there is one, and never a memo card — if you asked for questions; the rest is set aside. The final message tells you how many questions came from the exercises and how many passages were set aside.
A course imported without a lesson also offers it from its empty Lesson tab: Jin writes it from your original documents. Each question has a level — easy, medium or hard — based on the effort it takes.
Generation goes into the queue: you can close the tab and you'll be notified when it's done. It consumes your AI quota, and the estimate is shown before you start.
