studytube ai

A RAG-powered learning platform that turns any YouTube lecture into notes, quizzes, flashcards, mind maps, and interview prep.

overview

StudyTube AI treats a YouTube video like a textbook chapter, something you should be able to question, quiz yourself on, and revisit in five different formats, not just watch once and forget.

problem

Long-form video is a poor study format on its own: there's no way to search a transcript for a concept, generate practice questions from it, or turn it into revision material without hours of manual note-taking.

approach

A retrieval-augmented pipeline that indexes a video's full transcript into a FAISS vector store, then lets Gemini answer questions and generate study material grounded in that specific video rather than general knowledge.

engineering

React and FastAPI on the frontend and API layer, Supabase for authentication and progress tracking, and a RAG pipeline combining FAISS vector search with the Gemini API for context-aware tutoring over full transcripts.

outcome

One video in, four study formats and an interview-prep set out — notes, quizzes, flashcards, and mind maps generated directly from what was actually said, with progress tracked per learner.
