The Problem

At my school, the lecture notes should be a lifeline, but students can’t make sense of them when they need clarity most—buried under dense terminology, scattered across endless slides, and lacking any immediate indication of whether they’re on the right track.

Seeing this, I envisioned and began developing NoteInsight, a seamless AI‑driven companion that transforms sprawling lecture materials into interactive notes, and guides students through targeted questions to illuminate their knowledge gaps.

Building NoteInsight

Building NoteInsight meant more than just writing code—it meant really getting to know how students learn. I sat down with classmates overwhelmed by long, complex lectures to hear where they struggled most. I also met with professors to pinpoint the key ideas students often miss. Watching study groups in action showed me how peers quiz each other—and where feedback was lacking. The main platform is now live, and we’re focused on user acceptance testing before a full campus rollout.
