Inspiration

Our team has always believed that there's a huge problem with learning new skills/topics. Most learning feels passive (like reading, watching, scrolling), people forget most of what they consume, they can't tell what actually stuck versus what didn't, and what's worse is how while solo learning feels lonely, group learning feels chaotic. Rova seeks to find the solution for that.

What it does

Rova transforms your learning materials into a personalized mastery roadmap, teaching you aloud and making sure you actually understand the topic through interactive checkpoints, adaptive remediation, and mastery tracking. It allows you to upload a syllabus, PDF, notes, etc. and proceeds to build a structured learning path, teaching each concept out loud, pausing to test your understanding, adapting when you struggle, and tracking your progress until you can recognize, explain, and apply what you've learned.

How we built it

We used React, TypeScript, Vite, and D3.js (interactive tree visualization) for the frontend. Fast API (Python) and MongoDB for the backend. For the AI-powered roadmap generation we used Google Gemini API (roadmap generation, assessment feedback) as well as Tavily (web search) and Firecrawl (content scraping). ElevenLabs API (professional text-to-speech with character-level timing) for voice and Auth0 for secure login. For the cloud we used AWS S3 for avatar uploads.
