QuizMaster Project Story

Inspiration

The inspiration for QuizMaster came from a desire to revolutionize learning by making it more interactive and personalized. With advancements in AI technology, particularly Meta's LLaMA 3.1 70B model, there was an opportunity to harness this power to create custom quizzes tailored to individual needs. Participating in the Lightning Fast AI Hackathon by SambaNova provided the perfect platform to bring this idea to life using their cutting-edge AI infrastructure.

What it does

QuizMaster is an AI-powered platform that generates personalized quizzes on any topic instantly. Key features include:

  • User-Defined Topics: Users can enter any topic they desire, and the AI will create a unique quiz tailored to that subject.
  • Difficulty Levels: Choose from Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced to match your proficiency.
  • Real-Time Question Generation: Leverages SambaNova's API to interact with Meta's LLaMA 3.1 70B model, generating multiple-choice questions on the fly.
  • Immediate Feedback: Provides instant responses to your answers for an engaging learning experience.
  • Progress Tracking: Offers detailed statistics and performance analytics to monitor your learning progress.
  • User Profiles: Saves quiz history and allows you to revisit past quizzes.
  • Responsive Design: Ensures a seamless experience across all devices.

How I built it

The project was developed using modern web technologies:

  • Frontend:
    • React 18 with Vite for a fast and efficient development environment.
    • TailwindCSS for clean and responsive styling.
    • Additional libraries like react-hot-toast for notifications, react-confetti for celebratory animations, and recharts for data visualization.
  • Backend Services:
    • Firebase for authentication and Firestore database management.
  • AI Integration:
    • Utilized SambaNova's API to access Meta's LLaMA 3.1 70B model for dynamic quiz generation.
  • Deployment:
    • Deployed on Vercel with Edge Runtime for minimal latency and global availability.

Challenges I ran into

Integrating the AI model presented several challenges:

  • Asynchronous Operations: Handling asynchronous API calls while ensuring smooth interactions required careful management of promises and state within React.
  • Data Validation: Validating and sanitizing AI-generated content was crucial to maintain question quality, involving robust parsing and error-checking mechanisms.
  • Performance Optimization: Providing real-time feedback without compromising speed meant optimizing API calls and efficiently managing component rendering.
  • User Interface Design: Balancing functionality with simplicity involved iterative design and user testing to achieve a seamless experience for users of all proficiency levels.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I'm proud of:

  • Successful AI Integration: Incorporating advanced AI capabilities within the tight timeframe of the hackathon.
