I Built an AI Study Assistant That Actually Makes Studying Easier (And It’s Free)


Summaries, Quizzes, Explanations & OCR — All Powered by AI


Picture this: It’s 2 AM, you have an exam tomorrow, and you’re drowning in a 300-page textbook. You need to understand three dense chapters, make notes, and somehow test yourself before sunrise. And you can’t find any Study Assistant.

Sound familiar?

For the final Kaggle Hackathon project of the 5 Days Google Intensive AI Course, I decided to build something that would have saved me countless sleepless nights as a student—an AI-powered Study Assistant that turns any textbook into an interactive learning companion.

Think of it as your personal tutor that never sleeps, never gets tired, and has infinite patience for your questions.

The 3Ts AI Study Assistant is a free tool that uses cutting-edge AI technology—specifically RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), OCR, and Large Language Models—to transform how you study. Upload any PDF or even photos of textbook pages, and instantly get:

  • Quick Summaries — Condense chapters into digestible notes
  • Practice Quizzes — Auto-generated MCQs and questions to test yourself
  • Clear Explanations — Break down complex topics into simple language
  • Interactive Q&A — Ask anything about your material and get instant answers
  • Study History — Pick up right where you left off with saved chat records
  • OCR Support — Works with PDFs, scanned pages, and phone photos of textbooks

The idea came from a simple question during the Kaggle Hackathon: Can AI become a truly accessible study tool for every student—not just those who can afford expensive tutoring?

As someone who’s spent countless hours making notes, re-reading chapters, and scrambling to prepare for exams, I wanted to create something that would:

  • Cut study time in half without sacrificing understanding
  • Make revision actually enjoyable (or at least less painful)
  • Support students who learn from photocopied books or scanned materials
  • Provide instant help when you’re stuck—no waiting for school or Tuition Academy hours
  • Make self-study feel less lonely and more interactive

When I tested the first version, the results exceeded my expectations. Students could understand difficult concepts faster, retain information better through quizzes, and actually enjoy the learning process.

This 3Ts Study Assistant tool is perfect for:

  • A student preparing for exams, assignments, or competitive tests
  • A self-learner working through textbooks or online courses
  • A teacher looking to create quick quizzes or study materials
  • Anyone who wants to learn
  • A hobbyist-reader to experience a Live-Book.

Upload a 50-page chapter, get a concise summary in seconds. Perfect for quick revision before exams or when you’re short on time. You can even request bullet-point format for easier understanding.

The AI creates practice questions, MCQs, based on your material. Test your understanding and identify weak areas instantly.

Stuck on a difficult concept? Get it explained by the 3Ts Study Assistant. The assistant breaks it down into simple, digestible steps using analogies and examples you can actually understand.

Type any question about your uploaded material. The AI searches through your content and provides accurate answers with context—like having a tutor on standby 24/7.

All your study sessions are saved automatically. Jump back into your learning whenever you want without losing context. Just load the chat from previous day.

This is a game-changer for students without digital textbooks.

Upload:

  • Scanned PDF pages
  • Phone photos of textbook pages
  • Printed notes
  • Screenshots of study materials

The AI extracts the text accurately and makes it searchable and interactive.

The built-in record management system lets you clear all uploaded books and indexes when you need freeing up storage for your next subject study. (This 1st version handles only one book at a time.)

Once uploaded PDFs, Images of books and processed by OCR can be saved as ‘chunks…zip’ for future use. These chunks then can be directly uploaded for study without long waiting for OCR process.

You don’t need to understand the technical details to use it, but here’s what happens behind the scenes:

All of this happens in seconds, and you’re ready to learn smarter.

This is just the beginning. I’m working on adding:

As I continue learning and growing in AI, this project will evolve with better features and smarter capabilities.

To be transparent, here are some current limitations:

Building the 3Ts AI Study Assistant has been one of the most rewarding projects of my learning journey. If it helps even one student save time, understand a difficult topic, or feel more confident before an exam, then every hour spent building it was worth it.

Whether you’re cramming for finals, learning a new skill, or just curious about a topic—give it a try. I genuinely hope it makes your learning journey easier and more enjoyable.💝
