How I Built It

I built AI Study Buddy using Python and Streamlit, integrating the Backboard SDK for AI-powered functionality.

This project helped me gain practical experience in Python development, AI integration, and deploying an interactive web application.

Why Does Open Innovation Matter?

Open innovation allows developers to learn from existing tools, experiment with new ideas, and share their work with the community.

As an ICT undergraduate, working on AI Study Buddy has helped me turn what I learn into a practical project and continue developing my technical skills.

The Spirit of It

Learning something new can be challenging, especially when difficult concepts need to be explained in a simple way.

AI Study Buddy explores how AI can make learning more interactive and accessible, encouraging students to keep asking questions and discovering new ideas.

This project is another step in my journey of learning, building, and exploring AI technology.
