And the article follows our new structure
This week, while speaking with students, we learned one of the most important lessons in our journey so far
People want context before questions
What we planned
Interview five students
Improve the BAINT waitlist
Continue collecting student insights
What actually happened
This week was not easy
Finding students proved more difficult than expected
Our new Facebook account was limited, which affected our outreach efforts
Some students ignored our messages
Some conversations ended very quickly
However, we managed to speak with students from Mechanical Engineering and Community Health
One conversation completely changed how we think about student interviews
Student insight of the week
One student became tired of answering our questions and simply asked us to go straight to the point
At first, this surprised us
But after reflecting on it, we realized something important
Students want to understand why they are being asked questions before they answer them
Context matters
Trust matters
People are more willing to share when they understand the purpose behind the conversation
Product improvements
This insight led us to redesign the BAINT waitlist
Instead of focusing mainly on product feedback, we shifted our attention toward understanding student learning challenges and study experiences
We also started improving the structure of our weekly
articles so that every update clearly shows:
What we planned
What happened
What we learned
What we are improving next
What we learned
Building an AI classroom assistant is not only about building technology
It is about understanding people
Every ignored message, every short conversation and every student response teaches us something valuable
Next week
Improve the BAINT demo
Collect our first waitlist responses
Continue student outreach
Refine our interview process
And every conversation moves BAINT one step forward
