Here’s a complete, polished Project Story for Study Buddy AI in the exact sections you requested, ready in Markdown format:

Inspiration

During my studies, I struggled with long articles, research papers, and textbook chapters. I wanted a fast, interactive way to summarize, translate, rewrite, and quiz myself on learning material. Inspired by AI assistants and productivity tools, I created Study Buddy AI to make learning smarter and more efficient.

What it does

Study Buddy AI is a Chrome Extension that helps users:

Summarize long text into key points

Translate content into any language

Rewrite or proofread text for clarity

Generate quizzes or flashcards from any text

It works directly in your browser, making learning faster and interactive.

How we built it

We built Study Buddy AI using:

HTML/CSS/JavaScript for the popup UI

Chrome Manifest V3 for the extension structure

Chrome Built-in AI APIs for Summarization, Translation, Rewriting, and Prompt-based Quiz generation

VS Code & GitHub for development and version control

OBS Studio for recording the demo

Sample API call for summarization:

async function summarizeText(text) { const response = await chrome.ai.summarizer.summarize({ input: text }); return response.output; }

Challenges we ran into

Integrating Chrome AI APIs asynchronously while keeping the UI responsive

Designing a small but functional popup interface

Testing offline or without internet access for demo purposes

Completing a fully working version within a tight 1–2 day timeframe

Accomplishments that we're proud of

A fully functional Chrome Extension ready for hackathon submission

Clean, intuitive UI with multiple AI-powered features

Demo-ready workflow including summarization, translation, rewriting, and quiz generation

Smooth integration of AI APIs for live results in the browser

What we learned

Hands-on experience with Chrome Extension development

Working with client-side AI APIs and asynchronous JavaScript

Designing user-friendly interfaces in a small popup

Problem-solving and rapid prototyping under tight deadlines

What's next for study-buddy-ai
