Auggie Buddy is a free Chrome extension that displays a user’s own high‑yield notes and annotations alongside any website, specifically integrating with Q‑bank platforms like UWorld, TrueLearn, and COMQUEST. By importing Anki decks or typing custom notes directly into the extension, medical students and PGY1s can access their study material without switching apps, streamlining recall during timed question sessions.

Problem
Medical students and residents often use multiple separate tools—Anki decks, PDF notes, and Q‑bank platforms—to study, forcing them to switch contexts during timed practice sessions. This fragmentation creates a retrieval bottleneck, as their own high‑yield notes are not readily available when answering questions, leading to lost points and inefficient review.
Solution
Auggie Buddy is a Chrome extension that overlays a user’s personal high‑yield notes and annotations directly beside Q‑bank questions on sites like UWorld, TrueLearn, and COMQUEST. Users can import existing Anki decks, paste lecture summaries, or type custom notes into the extension, which then matches and displays the relevant material automatically when a corresponding question appears. By integrating the recall layer into the existing Q‑bank workflow, the tool eliminates the need for manual context switching and reinforces learning at the moment of need, helping learners retain information and improve exam performance.
Target Audience
Primary users are medical students, residents, and other healthcare trainees who regularly practice with Q‑bank platforms and rely on personal study notes for exam preparation.
