The problem

Remote learning leaves students isolated: no easy way to find compatible study partners, no shared space to actually work together, and no contextual help when they get stuck.

The solution

An end-to-end platform: a Gemini-powered matching engine ranks compatible partners in under a second, a low-latency real-time layer powers chat, voice and video study rooms, and a multimodal AI assistant gives contextual help and generates flashcards.

Key features

• AI-driven partner-matching engine (Gemini API) analysing study habits, subjects and availability to return ranked recommendations in under 1 second.
• Low-latency real-time layer (Socket.IO + WebRTC) powering live chat, voice rooms and video study sessions — stable across 50+ concurrent sessions.
• Multimodal AI study assistant (text, voice, image/document) with contextual help and smart flashcard generation, cutting query-to-answer time to under 2 seconds.
• Backend secured with JWT auth, refresh-token rotation and role-based access control — serving 100+ users with zero reported auth incidents.
• Responsive, accessible UI (streak tracking, dashboards, scheduling) with automated Cloudinary media pipelines that cut average media load time by ~35%.
