LexiSage - AI Definition Generator for Anki

Project Overview

LexiSage is an intelligent definition plugin designed for Anki that supports multiple AI interfaces (OpenAI, XAI, DeepSeek) to generate explanations for selected fields. It's especially useful for language learners.

Key Features

• Automatic parsing of word meanings and usage
• Context-based word explanations
• Batch processing to improve study efficiency
• Support for various AI services (requires your own API Keys)

Installation

1. In Anki, click "Tools" > "Add-ons"
2. Click "Get Add-ons"
3. Enter the add-on code: 750479332
4. Restart Anki

Usage Instructions

Basic Configuration

1. Open Anki, select "LexiSage Settings..." from the "Tools" menu

2. Set up AI services. The plugin doesn't provide AI services itself, so you need to purchase API Keys from AI service providers and enter them into the plugin. After obtaining an API Key, select the corresponding service provider and fill in the correct API Key and the model you want to use.

   Recommended AI service providers:

   • DeepSeek (Leading Chinese AI platform)
   • xAI
   

3. Add configuration for your note types, specify which template fields the AI should explain, designate output result fields, and optionally add context for more accurate definitions.

   
   • Click the + button to add note type configuration
   • Select note type
   • Select the field to explain
   • Select context field (optional)
   • Select destination field for definitions
   • Save configuration

   (This plugin supports configuring multiple note types, allowing batch processing of different note types simultaneously)

Generating Definitions

1. Browse your card collection
2. Select cards for which you want to generate definitions
3. Click "LexiSage" > "Generate Batch Definitions" in the menu bar, then wait for completion

Custom Prompts

The plugin includes built-in prompts, but if you're not satisfied with the definition results, you can customize the prompts in "LexiSage Settings"
