Inspiration
Students often copy answers from the internet without understanding the steps. Existing AI tools give final answers too quickly. I wanted to build a tutor that guides learning instead of replacing thinking.
What it does
Homework Tutor AI lets students:
- Paste a homework question or upload a photo
- Get a cleaned version of the problem.
- Receive a step by step solution plan
- See socratic hints that guide thinking
- Learn common mistakes to avoid. ## How we built it Frontend - Next.js, Typescript, Tailwind CSS Backend - Next.js API Route, Google Gemini API Deployment - Vercel
Challenges we ran into
Several but the most is how to conjugate all and give a pratical solution for our problem.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Built a working AI tutor, not just a chatbot that supports images.
What we learned
Prompt engineering was crucial
What's next for Homework Tutor AI
Better UI and more settings definitions.
