AI Study Partner : Development of an LLM and Gen AI-Enhanced Study Assistant Tool

Abstract

In recent years, Generative AI has started to play a pivotal role in transforming the educational landscape, making learning more personalized, engaging, and accessible. Unlike traditional educational tools, Gen AI can adapt to each student's unique learning style and pace, offering customized support that can significantly enhance understanding and retention of information. It enables the creation of intelligent tutoring systems, interactive study aids, and personalized learning experiences that can assess and respond to individual needs in real time This paper introduces the AI Study Partner, an innovative tool designed to revolutionize the educational landscape by integrating Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) and Large Language Models (LLMs). The AI Study Partner is engineered to cater to the diverse needs of learners by offering a suite of six key features: the ability to upload and interact with any type of content, summarization of extensive lessons, generation of flashcards for effective study, automated question creation with auto-evaluation capabilities, a conversational chatbot assistant, and an advanced smart search function. These features collectively aim to create a more personalized, engaging, and efficient learning experience. The development of the AI Study Partner responds to the pressing need for educational tools that accommodate the varying paces and styles of learning, making education more accessible and effective. By leveraging the latest advancements in AI, the tool not only facilitates a deeper understanding of complex subjects but also encourages independent study habits and critical thinking skills. This research outlines the conceptual framework, design methodology, and technical implementation of the AI Study Partner, highlighting its potential to positively impact education by providing a versatile and interactive learning platform.The AI Study Partner represents a significant step forward in the pursuit of creating adaptive, responsive, and personalized educational experiences for learners worldwide.
