Inspiration

Studying can feel overwhelming, especially when juggling multiple subjects, formats, and deadlines. We wanted to build something that doesn’t just answer questions—it actually gets students. That’s where the idea of a multimodal chatbot came in: one that could understand not just text, but also images, notes, and files. Think of it like ChatGPT meets a school backpack — smart, intuitive, and made with love for students.

What it does

Your Study Buddy is an AI-powered chatbot that accepts text, image, and file uploads to help students learn better and faster. Whether you're uploading a blurry image of your math homework, a PDF textbook chapter, or simply asking a theory question, the chatbot intelligently processes the input and responds in a clear, helpful way.

How we built it

We used Bolt AI to build this in a single, powerful prompt. By leveraging Bolt’s multimodal input support, we designed a smart, responsive assistant that could handle natural questions, diagrams, handwritten notes, and documents. The branding and UX focused on minimalism, warmth, and student-first design — a calm space in the chaos of exams and deadlines.

Challenges we ran into

Handling multiple file types and formats in one seamless input stream

Designing responses that adapt whether the input is a question, a scanned image, or a document

Ensuring tone and friendliness — making sure the bot feels like a buddy, not a boring assistant

Staying under Bolt’s one-shot constraints while making it truly smart and multimodal

Accomplishments that we're proud of

What we learned

Created a fully functional multimodal AI assistant in one prompt

Integrated academic logic and emotional intelligence into the chatbot

Developed a strong and playful brand identity that appeals to Gen Z students

Built something that feels helpful, friendly, and surprisingly human
