Teaching and Learning made easy with cohere ai

Inspiration

Summarization of content is crucial in highlighting just the important things. However given most countries study in English language, there are words that are difficult to understand as they do not use it daily lives. Most people are comfortable understanding when using a language which they know more about It is difficult to know what kind of questions can be asked from a text given there exist non-relevant material in the text

What it does

A system where tutors and students can summarize a text, look up the definitions and translations of words which they do not understand in the text, see possible questions that can be derived from that text

How we built it

With the use of the generate API from Cohere's Multilingual Embeddings Model, we connected to the generate API through a flask application. And then built a web application with react-js that calls the endpoint in the flask app and displays the response.

Challenges we ran into

Using trial version of the API limited us to just 5 requests per minute which made testing slower in most cases.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Using an AI model to solve a problem we face and believe other people face while studying or teaching

What we learned

We can always use AI for doing good things and should not be scared of AI taking over the world but embrace AI to make the world better.

What's next for Teaching and Learning made easy with cohere ai

We will like to try them with very local languages and see the possibility of adding voice to text, and Vision to text to a fully functional AI application
