My Mom is a school counselor, who has worked at several title 1 schools, and has relayed to me the struggles of their students. When both parents work multiple jobs, a student cannot get the help they need to understand homework and school assignments.
AI Tutor uses several clever tricks and prompting to create an AI system that tries to build an intuition inside the student, rather than giving the answers. Intuition is crucial when learning new topics, as it helps a student understand the relationship between what they've already learned and the new concepts being introduced.
AI Tutor uses Anthropic AI's Claude model in order to follow a student's tangential thoughts, while at the same time following a human made lesson.
Originally, AI Tutor had a front-end written using streamlit, but after twelve hours, it became evident that streamlit simply could not do what I wanted, and I had to shelve the text-to-speech and speech-to-text capabilities.
After this hackathon, I will write a proper front end and continue to add lessons to AI Tutor. Due to the modular nature of this project, adding lessons is as simple as making a text file and putting it into the 'lessons' directory.
