TutorAI was created to provide AI support to students experiencing difficulties in the classroom and needing help to improve their study habits. TutorAI is an LLM-based application that aids in a user’s academic development. It can cover a wide range of subjects, from History to Physics. TutorAI offers comprehensive and interactive assistance while also giving the user transparency on the reasoning behind the AI’s responses. The base of TutorAI is using OpenAI’s ChatGPT, as it is familiar to students from K-12 to college level. We want students to have a tailored experience that includes interaction with their class materials, providing interactive quizzes and flashcards, summaries, and AI reasoning.
Students experiencing difficulties in the classroom need personalized and interactive support to improve their study habits and understanding of course material. Current educational tools often lack the ability to offer tailored, transparent, and engaging assistance across a wide range of subjects. Without such support, students struggle to stay motivated and effectively comprehend complex topics.
The Problem
Study Guide:
Flashcards:
Wireframes
Using a prototyping tool called Balsamiq, my group and I created the first version of TutorAI to simulate our vision for the application. We started by designing the home screen and the various options available to students on this page. In this example, we simulated what it would be like for a student to create their own flashcards.
In this wireframe, we simulated the process of a student creating a study guide, both manually and with the assistance of AI. This allows students to experience the convenience and efficiency of AI-generated study materials alongside their own input.
