Inspiration

Current quiz systems lack a critical feature: they can't verify if students are honestly attempting assessments. This gap inspired us to build a solution that brings integrity to online testing.

What it does

RetinaRank combines computer vision with AI to create an intelligent quiz platform. It uses eye-tracking technology to monitor user focus and engagement in real-time, ensuring academic honesty. The platform leverages Gemini to automatically generate quizzes and evaluate responses, creating a seamless end-to-end assessment experience.

How we built it

We utilized a powerful tech stack including:

  • AI Tools: Cursor, Claude, GitHub Copilot, and Lovable for accelerated development
  • AI Engine: Gemini 3 API for quiz generation and evaluation
  • Computer Vision: Custom eye-tracking implementation for focus detection

Challenges we ran into

  • Building a document-to-markdown converter from scratch
  • Integrating with the Gemini API and handling its responses
  • Coordinating code integration across the team
  • Managing deployment complexities

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We created a platform with genuine potential for global impact—one that addresses a real problem in online education and makes remote assessments more trustworthy.

What we learned

  • AI models process markdown natively, leading us to develop our document-to-markdown converter
  • How to effectively work with the Gemini API
  • Practical applications of the Pydantic library in Python for data validation
  • The concept and power of "vibe coding"—rapid AI-assisted development

What's next for RetinaRank

We envision adding a teacher dashboard where educators can create custom quizzes while students take them remotely. The system would provide instructors with real-time engagement analytics and cheating detection reports, making remote proctoring both scalable and effective.
