Tutorly

Inspiration

We made Tutorly based off the topic of AI for good and Future of Learning. As a group, we all would have loved to have a AI tutor earlier in our schooling careers to help us through those tough late night assignments. Maybe after class we were embarrassed to ask the teachers any questions so we would have to resort to googling the incorrect things. Therefore, we put great minds together to create an AI tutoring website. Tutorly was born.

What it does

Tutorly is an all-in-one tutoring platform connecting students with AI tutors through a modern, responsive web interface. This is to help students learn and understand the work they are being set at school.

How we built it

Tutorly was made using JavaScript, HTML and CSS. We used Node.js enlisted alongside Express.js as our front-end management. We used MongoDB as our NoSQL database that stores data in JSON-like documents for scalability. We utilised the resources of openrouter.ai as our API for the AI responses.

Challenges we ran into

Tutorly had many initial challenges including the AI integration. Our AI-Integration lead had a lot of problems integrating the AI due to some issues linking the front-end to the back-end. We also had a few problems regarding the footer on our project which didn't want to work for the longest time, as well as some of the more interactive parts of the website.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are extremely proud of how quickly we whipped up this project including how well presented we made the application. We joined together as a team well after the start-date of the hackathon. We then just gelled very well together and managed to complement each other's skill set to create Tutorly.

What we learned

We learnt quite a lot about working together as a team, especially considering how we are all very different in a skill set.

What's next for Tutorly

Currently we have deployed Tutorly, and next we are looking to implement real-time tutoring, this could be more of a helpline rather than a dedicated tutor considering that we would have to scale this for a lot of users. We would also like to format our website for a more mobile friendly user interface as we would also like to cater our services to mobile based users.
