Gem.edu

What it does

Gem.edu is a web application designed to simplify the two most challenging aspects of college life: course registration and studying for classes. It functions as both an academic advisor and a virtual tutor, providing students with personalized, real-time support outside the classroom.

The Academic Advisor feature analyzes the upcoming quarter’s course offerings alongside each student’s major requirements, helping them build a custom schedule that ensures they stay on track for graduation. It’s like having a 24/7 academic counselor, ensuring students make informed decisions about their academic paths.

The Virtual Tutor feature leverages professor lecture notes to provide instant, accurate answers to student questions. Whether it’s the night before a midterm or a quick clarification during study sessions, the tutor is there to help, ensuring that students fully understand the material and are well-prepared for exams.

We utilized the Gemini API to power the natural language processing capabilities of Gem.edu. The API allows our virtual tutor to comprehend and process complex academic queries, generating contextually accurate and relevant responses based on the lecture notes provided. The Gemini API’s ability to understand and generate human-like text makes it possible for Gem.edu to deliver personalized, real-time academic support, enhancing the overall learning experience for students.
