EduAgent AI — What's New: Courses, Study Sessions & AI Quizzes

Product Update · June 2026


We've been building fast. Three powerful new pages have just landed on EduAgent AI — each one designed to take your studying from scattered to structured, and from passive to genuinely active. Here's everything that's new.


Courses — Your Academic Hub

The problem: AI tutors are great at answering questions, but they work best when they know what you're studying. Without context, every conversation starts from zero.

What we built: A dedicated Courses page where you register every subject you're taking — MTH101, PHY201, ENG305, whatever your curriculum holds.

What you can do:

  • Add a course in seconds — just a course code, a title, and an optional description
  • Upload course materials right when you create the course — PDFs, slides, and documents are ingested automatically
  • Preview your materials — click any course card to open an in-browser PDF viewer via a secure signed URL (no more downloading just to glance at a file)
  • Tag a course in chat — in the main AI chat, you can @mention any of your courses to lock the conversation into that subject's context

Your courses persist across sessions, so the AI always knows what you're enrolled in.


Study Sessions — Focus Mode, Powered by AI

The problem: Studying without structure leads to burnout. You sit down, don't know where to start, and 40 minutes later you've barely made a dent.

What we built: A full Pomodoro-based study session mode that combines a focus timer with an AI tutor scoped entirely to your chosen course.

During a session:

  • Select a course to begin — the AI chat is restricted to that subject only, keeping you on track
  • Pomodoro Timer — 25-minute focus blocks with 5-minute breaks, visualised as a beautiful animated SVG ring. Work mode pulses in cyan, break mode in emerald
  • Topic Tracker — log every topic you cover as you go. Hit a concept? Mark it done. It builds your session record automatically
  • Quick Notes — a dedicated scratchpad right inside the session. No switching apps, no losing your train of thought
  • Mark Topic Complete — a satisfying checkbox workflow for working through your syllabus
  • Pause / Resume — life happens. The timer remembers where you left off

When the session ends:

  • Total duration is stored
  • Every topic covered is saved to your session record
  • The AI generates a personalised session summary — what you studied, how long you focused, and suggestions for what to tackle next

This isn't just a timer. It's a structured learning environment that remembers everything.


AI Quiz Generator — Test What You Know

The problem: Reading and re-reading notes gives you a false sense of understanding. The only way to actually know if knowledge has stuck is to be tested on it.

What we built: An AI-powered quiz generator that turns your uploaded course materials into real exam practice.

How it works:

  1. Select a course and choose a material you've uploaded
  2. Pick your quiz format:
    • Multiple Choice — classic four-option questions with instant feedback
    • Flashcards — flip-card format for vocabulary, definitions, and concepts
    • Short Answer — open-ended questions with AI-graded responses
  3. The AI reads your actual material and generates targeted questions from it

After the quiz:

  • Accuracy % — see exactly how you scored
  • Weak Topics — the AI identifies which topics you struggled on and flags them for review
  • Retry Wrong Questions — one click to re-run only the questions you got wrong, until you've mastered them

No more generic practice questions from the internet. Every quiz is built from your notes, for your exam.


It All Works Together

The real power is in how these three features connect:

  1. You add a course and upload your lecture slides
  2. You start a study session for that course — the Pomodoro timer keeps you focused, the AI answers your questions in context
  3. After studying, you generate a quiz from the material you just covered to cement what you've learned

This is the complete study loop — organise, focus, test — all inside one platform.


What's Next

We're continuing to build. On the roadmap:

  • Study streaks & analytics — track your consistency over time
  • Collaborative sessions — study with friends with a shared timer and notes
  • Spaced repetition — the platform will remind you to revisit topics at the optimal time for long-term retention
  • Course @mentions in Study Sessions — even deeper context-aware tutoring

EduAgent AI is built for students who are serious about learning. If you have feedback on any of these features, we want to hear it.
