Im 14 and I want to create AI for students

5 pointsgrgnend6 comments

I’ve been thinking for a long time about an idea for a SaaS site. So, here it is: "AI Study Workspace" (I might still change the name). A bit about myself: I started learning programming to become a backend/software engineer. There are currently so many complaints about how hard it is for a Junior-level beginner to land a job, which inspired me to start my own business. I’m also a high school student, and like most students, I face academic challenges—confusing assignments and Olympiad problems. Standard AI tools just give you the answer right away, but that isn't the right approach, and I want to fix that. I need the community's help; I’d love to know if there would be any demand for my site. Also, if anyone with experience building SaaS sites could offer some advice, I’d be really grateful! Thanks

This sounds kind of like ChatGPT Study Mode.

If you want to create an AI that will be better at _teaching_ and not just answering questions, you may want to talk to a human teacher about their process.

"Pedagogy" is the term for professional teaching; "pedagogical methods" would be a good term to use in searches, or in querying AI, about processes like this.

Actually you should not compete in "AI Study Assistnat"(just answer questions), you shouold better do something like use prompt design to constrain AI's output, and let AI to analyze user's level or trends. (sth like adaptive learning) good prompts can prevent overfitting

The current LLMs can show their work, if you don't understand it, ask to have it explained it in a different way -- idk how you can improve on that experience.

You say, in much fewer words, what I was writing so will just +1 you. Maybe the Chat GPT Study Mode mentioned above does this functionality already; would be surprised if this isn't already available.

Output should be a various ways to solve a problem right?

Im ignorant about mathematic domain in AI, but if there arent the ones that trained specifically tuned for mathematic domain then you should fine tune the open model.

Also, if you are not asking for exact answer, gpt or claude can still give you an insight how to solve it.

Having thought that if chegg couldnt build one same as your idea, then it would not be easy cause they have tons of data already
