I was drowning in study notes. So I built an AI tool that does all the hard work for me.

I’m a student, solo dev, and a bit of a productivity nerd.
During exam season, I always felt this one pain:

I had PDFs, handwritten notes, textbooks, slides, images...
But no time to go through them all.

So instead of studying like a normal human, I did what devs do best —
I opened VS Code and started building.

Introducing: NexNotes AI

An all-in-one AI tool that converts any study material into:

A neat summary

Quiz questions

Flashcards

Mind maps

Diagrams

Even “humanized” explanation

And optionally, handwritten-looking notes for fun (or assignments 😬)

You upload a file — PDF, screenshot, YouTube transcript, or even a photo — and it gives you a full-on study toolkit in a few seconds.

No payment. No ChatGPT copy-paste mess.
Just fast, focused output that actually helps revise.

How It Works (In short)

Frontend: React.js

Backend: FastAPI

Supabase for Auth & data

OCR via EasyOCR

AI powered by LLM + logic chaining

Why I Built It

I didn’t want to create “just another AI wrapper.”
I wanted to create the tool I wish I had before every exam — something that removes the mental load of organizing, revising, remembering.

And now 7k+ students are already using it.
