Show HN: I built an AI that turns boring lecture slides into interactive lessons

1 etiennek_ 0 5/23/2025, 1:02:39 PM quizzme.ai ↗

As a student, I got tired of the messy way everyone uses ChatGPT for studying. You're constantly switching between random prompts, copy-pasting notes, and trying to force a chatbot to act like a tutor when it's just not built for that.

So I spent the last 3 months building QuizzMe. Instead of prompting ChatGPT with "help me study this," you get a proper learning flow: concept explanation → practice questions → targeted feedback → move to next concept.

I'm using Google's brand new Gemini Flash model under the hood, and honestly it works like magic for this use case. The way it understands context and generates pedagogically sound questions is incredible.

Would love feedback from other developers who've tried to build education tools, or anyone who's frustrated with current AI study methods. Has anyone else experimented with Gemini Flash for specialized applications like this?
