How We Built ScholarNet AI: An AI-Powered Study Platform

Transform your learning with AI-powered quiz generation, flashcards, presentations, and personalized tutoring. Used by 2,000+ students to ace their exams.

Students spend hours creating study materials manually. We wanted to use AI to automate this process and make studying more efficient.

Architecture

We use a multi-provider AI routing system that:

1. Selects the best AI model based on task type
2. Falls back to alternative providers if one fails
3. Tracks costs per request
4. Optimizes for quality vs cost

// Example: AI routing logic
const aiManager = {
  generateQuiz: (topic) => useGroq(), // Fast + cheap
  tutorResponse: (question) => useClaude(), // Quality
  generateImage: (prompt) => useDallE() // Visual
};

Results

• ✅ 2,000+ active users
• ✅ 50,000+ quizzes generated

Challenges We Overcame

1. AI Cost Management: Implemented smart routing to reduce costs by 60%
2. Rate Limiting: Built queue system for high-volume periods
3. Mobile UX: Created PWA for native-like experience
4. SEO: Autonomous AI-powered SEO system
