EduAI tutor

🧠 Inspiration

As an engineering student, I saw firsthand how overwhelming academic materials—especially dense PDF documents like textbooks and lecture notes—can be. I realized that if students had an AI-powered assistant that could make this content more accessible, interactive, and voice-friendly, it would transform the way we learn. I wanted to build something that felt intuitive, helpful, and human — a friendly learning companion with real utility.

🚀 What it does

EduAI Tutor is an AI-powered educational web app that transforms static PDFs into interactive learning experiences:

• 📄 Uploads PDFs (notes, textbooks, articles)
• 🧠 Summarizes content with GPT-4o
• 💬 Chats with users about the PDF
• 🎙️ Narrates summaries via ElevenLabs
• 📝 Generates quizzes to reinforce understanding
• 📊 Tracks progress on a clean, responsive dashboard
• 🔐 Supports authentication (Email, Google, Microsoft)
• 🎨 Delivers beautiful, responsive UI for smooth learning

🛠️ How we built it

• Frontend: React (Vite) + TailwindCSS + Framer Motion
• Backend: Supabase (Auth, DB, Storage, RLS)
• AI: Azure OpenAI GPT-4o for summarization, Q&A, quiz generation
• Voice: ElevenLabs for narration and voice chat
• PDF Parsing: PDF.js for content extraction
• Deployment: Netlify

Architecture included secure multi-auth, document parsing pipelines, GPT prompts, and real-time database interactions—all orchestrated in a single-prompt project creation via Bolt.

⚔️ Challenges we ran into

• 🧾 Parsing large PDF files cleanly and consistently
• 🔐 Handling OAuth callbacks and session persistence
• 🎙️ Integrating voice chat smoothly with ElevenLabs
• 📚 Structuring AI prompts to balance summary accuracy and quiz difficulty
• 🧪 Testing real-time interactions across user sessions
• 🗃️ Applying Supabase migration fixes due to unterminated SQL comments

🏅 Accomplishments that we're proud of

• ✅ Built a fully functional, production-grade AI tutor
• 🎯 Completed all requested features under a single Bolt prompt
• 🧠 Created meaningful educational interactions using AI
• 🗂️ Integrated Supabase with RLS and full user data flow
• 🌐 Deployed a responsive, multi-platform web app
• 🛠️ Delivered a professional-level UI/UX with accessible voice features

📚 What we learned

• How to structure AI-first applications from a user-driven perspective
• Deepened understanding of Supabase, OAuth flows, and role-based security
• Learned how to optimize AI prompts for different educational contexts
• Gained practical experience combining voice synthesis, real-time data, and frontend UX

🔮 What's next for EduAI Tutor
