Inspiration

During my time in high school, I often struggled with procrastination. Instead of learning consistently, I would let topics pile up until the night before an exam. The cognitive overload was overwhelming, and despite working hard, I ended up with average or sometimes poor results. Now, I have a younger brother who will one day sit for the GCE examination. I don't want him or any other student to go through the same experience. I wanted to build the study companion I wish I had: one that encourages consistency over cramming. That's where the idea of Ticha AI: 1% Daily Learning was born.

What it does

Ticha AI is an AI-powered learning platform designed for GCE students that helps them improve just 1% every day through short, structured learning sessions. Students can:

  • Learn one bite-sized lesson daily.
  • Chat with an AI tutor for personalized explanations.
  • Watch curated concept videos.
  • Practice with quizzes and past papers.
  • Track learning streaks and progress.
  • Upload notes for AI-powered assistance.

Instead of overwhelming students with hours of content, Ticha AI makes studying simple, engaging, and consistent.

How we built it

We designed Ticha AI as a modern Progressive Web App (PWA) with a strong focus on accessibility and mobile-first learning.

  • Next.js
  • Supabase
  • Gemini and ElevenLabs

Challenges we ran into

  • Building a RAG System from scratch
  • To carefully structure lessons into small, meaningful daily learning units without losing educational depth.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Built a complete AI-powered learning experience around the philosophy of 1% Daily Learning.
  • Created a distinctive and memorable visual identity for Ticha AI.
  • Combined AI tutoring, concept videos, quizzes, summaries, and gamification into one platform.
  • Designed an experience that encourages daily learning habits instead of last-minute cramming.
  • Produced a polished product that feels ready for real students.

What we learned

  • Tech alone doesn't improve education — good learning experiences do.
  • Helping students become consistent learners can have a greater long-term impact than simply helping them pass an exam.
  • The importance of reducing cognitive overload, using gamification responsibly, and designing AI that guides students to understand concepts instead of memorizing answers.

What's next for Tich AI

  • Build the corrected RAG system
  • Expand to the skill learning experience using the same philosophy
  • Launch the mobile apps for Android and iOS.
