AI Tutor Bot

The Boyz

Inspiration

As a student and Teaching Assistant, I've seen first hand the impact AI can have on the educational process, both the good and bad. We wanted to design an AI system that would enhance the learning process, not hinder it.

What it does

Utilizes Retrieval Augmented Generation and OpenStax textbooks to provide an accurate AI lead learning experience.

How we built it

We used V0 to build our application framework, which provided a semi-functional front end and filled in the blanks with our backend implementations.

Challenges we ran into

This project introduced us to a large library of dependencies that we were not familiar with. It was also a large challenge to write our RAG retriever from scratch.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We managed to actually get our RAG code working inside our chat application. We also are proud of our mostly functional prototype.

What we learned

Hackathons are worth attending :)

What's next for AI Tutor Bot

We plan to implement the multi agent group chat feature, where one AI agent plays the role of instructor and another is a fellow student. This relieves the user of the burden of having to engaged at all times. We also plan to implement agent driven quizzes with integrated evaluations. These are of course after the prototype is finished debugging.
