Inspiration
In school, I found it difficult to study just by reading off the course notes, and it was helpful to study with a peer or professor. Since this might not always be available for many students, I wanted to create a convenient way to simulate this using Ai.
What it does
It takes in course content in the form of a pdf file, and acts as a tutor for the student.
How we built it
I used the google gemini API and React JS to build the front-end.
Challenges we ran into
It was challenging familiarizing myself with the API, getting it to read a pdf file, and formatting the output to display in React.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Designing the chatbot loop to work through the user interface in React.
What we learned
I learned how to use the gemini API in Javascript.
What's next for AutoTutor
Allow multiple pdf files, different file formats, fine tune the model
