Inspiration
We hate having to have multiple tabs up and letting Chrome take all my RAM up. We wanted a tool that unified all of our favorite study features all in one place.
What it does
PDF Tutor is a gemini-powered PDF reader. It has the standard functions of a PDF reader, page advancement, size readjustments, printing. It's uniqueness stems from it's AI powered study tools. It has quizzes, flashes cards, diagrams, and fetches youtube videos about the subject. This allows students to have a streamlined process when it comes to doing homework and studying, making their experience more enjoyable and easier.
How we built it
We used HTML, CSS, Javascript, Gemini API
Challenges we ran into
We had trouble figuring out how to use the Gemini API, we had outputs that did not work as intended or used up too many credits. We were able to optimize the credits taken from these features in PDF viewer and able to make each generation of studying tools unique.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
One of our teammates is a first time hacker and this is one of his first projects he has made. It was cool to be apart of a team that made a service that helps yourself and learning to build.
What we learned
We learned how to use the Gemini API and how cool vibe coding can be
What's next for PDFTutor
We know of a few launched businesses that do things similar to our product, but none quite like it. We think there is a space in the market for a product like this, and we are open to continuing to work on it.
