Inspiration
Students often have to pay full attention during lectures because exams rely heavily on class content rather than just study materials. But with distractions or fast-paced teaching, it’s easy to miss important points. We wanted to create a tool that ensures no key information slips away—and makes studying afterward far more effective.
What it does
- Transcript-based Learning: Directly leverages lectures transcribes—no extra uploads required.
- PrepPal transforms lecture transcripts into structured, interactive study materials.
- Clean Notes: Concise, well-organized summaries broken into logical sections.
- Flashcards: Auto-generated Q&A cards for active recall and faster retention.
- Seamless Integration: Works with transcription pipelines and Gemini-powered endpoints, so content flows from lecture to study material without friction.
How we built it
Authenticaton and Database : Firebase, Firestore Frontend: Next.js (App Router) for a modern, responsive, and fast interface. AI Integration: Google Gemini SDK to generate structured JSON outputs (notes, flashcards). Pipeline: Minimal client code—just a fetch request to the API and direct rendering of results. Scalability: Designed to be extended easily with new schemas, improved formatting, or upgraded models.
Challenges we ran into
That transcription need to be done on browser itself not having to require a powerful machine for transcription.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
- Realtime transcription
- UI
- Notes generation
