AI Study Buddy – Student Focused AI Tools

Added new student-focused AI tools section in README
Followed hackathon requirements and starred the repository
Submitted PR with clear documentation and 5 new AI tools

Inspiration

We wanted to make AI more useful for students, not just developers. While most AI tools are general-purpose, students often struggle to find tools that help them study effectively. This inspired us to create a dedicated Study Tools section in the AI Tools Hub.

What it does

The project introduces a new category in the repository: Study Tools (For Students).
It contains five carefully selected AI tools:

Scholarcy – Summarizes academic articles and research papers.
Whisper + Notion – Converts lecture audio into organized notes.
Quillionz – Generates questions and answers from any text or book.
Elicit – Assists in finding relevant academic research.
ChatGPT – Helps students write essays and assignments.

How we built it

Forked the GitHub repository and created a new branch.
Edited the README.md file to add the new Study Tools section.
Documented each tool with description, link, and value for students.
Verified all links and confirmed free tiers were available.
Submitted a pull request to merge the changes into the main repo.

Challenges we ran into

Ensuring the tools were not duplicates of existing entries.
Selecting tools that were both high quality and had a free tier for students.
Following the repository’s contribution guidelines and PR template.
