TeachAI: Your AI Teaching Assistant

Inspiration

Teachers today face an overwhelming workload: lesson planning, student assessments, personalized guidance, and endless paperwork. As a result, they have less time to truly support individual students. We were inspired to build a tool that lightens this burden—using the power of AI that adapts to real classroom needs.

What It Does

TeachAI is an AI-powered platform that reduces teacher workload and enhances classroom efficiency. It offers:

Lesson Planning Automatically generates lesson plans based on topics or curriculum standards, complete with clear learning objectives.
Activity Designer Suggests engaging classroom activities aligned with the lesson and suitable for different grade levels.
Test Builder Creates quizzes and exams automatically—customizable by topic, question type (multiple choice/open-ended), and grade level. Includes answer keys and scoring rubrics for each question.
Student Assessment Tracks and visualizes student performance. AI gives personalized feedback and suggestions for each student.
Teaching Methods Recommends various teaching strategies, step-by-step instructions, and pros/cons of each approach.
Teaching Resources Suggests relevant teaching materials and references to support each lesson.
Performance Analytics Visualizes student performance in graphs, with data export in CSV format for further analysis.

How We Built It

Bolt was used to quickly build UI and LLM agents.
Supabase stores lesson plans, tests, and student records securely.
GEMINI 2.5 is integrated as our LLM engine for content generation and smart suggestions.
Prompt Engineering ensures accurate responses aligned with educational context.

Challenges We Faced

Crafting prompts that deliver accurate outputs based on grade level and subject.
Managing LLM token limitations under the free usage plan.
Designing an intuitive UI for teachers unfamiliar with technology.
Integrating lesson planning, activities, and assessments into a seamless interface.

Accomplishments We're Proud Of

Built a functional platform within Hackathon time constraints.
Enabled teachers to plan lessons, create tests, and analyze students—all in a few clicks.
Successfully connected data across lessons, tests, and student performance using AI agents.
