Inspiration

We were inspired by the observation that many students, regardless of age, struggle to break down complex problems into manageable steps. This often leads to frustration and hinders the development of critical thinking skills. We envisioned an AI tool that could act as a personal learning companion, guiding students towards independent problem-solving.

What it does

Askwise is a web-based application powered by a generative AI model. When presented with a question, Askwise utilizes its natural language processing capabilities to understand the user's intent. Subsequently, it employs a question-and-answer breakdown process, dissecting the initial question into a series of smaller, more focused inquiries. This step-by-step approach enables users to gain a deeper understanding of the problem and arrive at the solution themselves. Askwise is designed to be accessible and beneficial for students of all ages.

How we built it

Askwise leverages a state-of-the-art generative pre-trained transformer model, specifically [openai , geminin]. This model was chosen for its effectiveness in understanding and responding to complex user queries. Development involved the integration of the chosen model with a user-friendly interface built using streamlit.

Challenges we ran into

One of the primary challenges involved ensuring the accuracy and relevance of the breakdown questions generated by the AI model. We implemented a rigorous training and testing process to fine-tune the model and minimize the possibility of misleading information. Additionally, crafting a user interface that effectively balances simplicity and functionality proved to be an iterative process.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are particularly proud of Askwise's ability to effectively break down complex questions into clear and concise steps. Preliminary user testing has yielded positive feedback, highlighting the project's potential to improve critical thinking skills. We believe Askwise has the potential to revolutionize the way students approach problem-solving and learning.

What we learned

Throughout this project, we gained valuable insights into the capabilities and limitations of generative AI models. Furthermore, the development process emphasized the importance of user-centered design in creating a tool that is both powerful and accessible. Most importantly, we learned the immense satisfaction that comes from building a project with the potential to positively impact education.

What's next for Askwise

We are dedicated to continuously improving Askwise. Our immediate focus is on refining the AI model to further enhance the accuracy and depth of question breakdowns. Future development plans include creating a mobile application to increase accessibility and exploring partnerships with educational institutions to integrate Askwise into existing learning platforms.
