Not that I know of, but I recommend making your own decks. Two reasons: you only add what you're interested in learning as you're reviewing material and figuring out how to make the cards for your material helps learning.

I recently started a new job, and wrote a quick script that scrapes a slack team for all the names and profile photos and creates an Anki deck out of it. I'm usually terrible with names and faces so this helped me immensely.

Do you mind sharing the script? Because the company I work for has grown at an insane rate - and there are a good 300+ coworkers I don't know. It'd be nice to know peoples' faces for when I see them walking around the building.

Sure, I'll paste a link to a gist or something later

Thank you very much!

Hah! I used the Meetup.com API for the same reason. Super annoying that lots of people use avatars though right ;)

I also do this for friends and the ever growing list of baby names that I can't keep track of.

Some people's Slack avatars are dogs, pictures of two or more people, etc, so I'm overtraining a lot but overall it's positive.

Seconded. I'm pretty sure that every minute spent making your own cards saves at least 2 minutes spent reviewing them.
