Inspiration

Students today juggle multiple disconnected tools. Notion for notes, Quizlet for flashcards, Google Drive for file storage, and YouTube for tutorials. This creates a fragmented and inefficient study experience that wastes time, breaks focus, and scatters knowledge everywhere.

What it does

Notiva solves this with a unified, local-first academic platform. Students upload their PDFs, slides, or spreadsheets once and get six AI-generated study tools: smart flashcards, study songs, animated video tutorials, infographics, practice exams with automated grading, and a course material classifier (lectures, problem sheets, research, etc.). Key features include accurate generation of mathematical equations, physics diagrams, circuit schematics, and statics figures, areas where nearly all existing tools fail.

How we built it

Google Gemini is the core intelligence behind every single feature. Gemini powers the file classification, generates all six study formats, reasons through complex STEM content to produce accurate figures and questions, and handles the entire pipeline from upload to exam grading. Even for song generation, where we use Suno for audio production, Gemini first analyzes the course material and crafts the optimized prompt and lyrics that Suno receives. Every interaction in Notiva starts with Gemini.

Challenges we ran into

Getting Gemini to produce accurate STEM visuals like circuit diagrams and physics figures required extensive prompt engineering and iterative refinement. Coordinating six different output formats from a single upload pipeline while keeping response times reasonable was also a significant technical hurdle.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We built a fully working platform where a single file upload generates six distinct, high-quality study tools. The accuracy of our STEM content generation, especially mathematical equations and engineering diagrams, sets Notiva apart from every existing tool we tested.

What we learned

We learned how powerful Gemini is when given well-structured prompts and how much prompt design matters for STEM accuracy. We also learned that students don't need more tools, they need fewer tools that do more.

What's next for Notiva?

Future work includes adaptive learning styles tailored to each student and course, a real-time conversational tutor where Gemini pulls images and videos from the internet and explains concepts like a teacher standing in front of you, and seamless Google Drive linking so materials sync automatically as instructors upload them.
