StudiBuddi

AI Tutor Platform • In Development

A STEM learning platform that models learner knowledge as a graph of "crux nodes" (concepts) and uses AI to deliver adaptive training, curated resources, and tutoring support. It's designed to feel like a tutor who actually knows you — your misconceptions, your strengths, your blind spots — and adapts in real time to guide you forward.

AI & Architecture

  • Neo4j Knowledge Graph: Concept dependencies and learning paths
  • Vector Search (Qdrant): Semantic content retrieval and past papers
  • Multi-LLM Support: Gemini, OpenAI, custom models with provider selection
  • Wolfram Integration: Symbolic math pipeline for verified calculations

Platform Features

  • Adaptive Training: Proficiency-driven content selection
  • Past Paper Intelligence: Exam-aligned question generation
  • Voice I/O: TTS/STT with GPU acceleration
  • Multi-tenant: Students, educators, schools with cohort management
