Studzy
A learning platform built specifically for DevCore'23 Software Engineering students at OAU — organizing course resources and pairing them with an AI assistant that generates summaries, flashcards, and quizzes on demand.
The Problem
OAU Software Engineering students had no centralized place to access organized lecture notes, recordings, and study materials. Resources were scattered across WhatsApp groups, personal drives, and email threads. Beyond organization, students needed a smarter way to actually process and retain the material — not just find it.
The Solution
// what I learned
Building for a specific, known community is fundamentally different from building for a general audience. Every feature decision was grounded in real student feedback from people I knew and could talk to directly. That tight feedback loop produced a better product faster than any generalized approach would have. It also taught me how powerful AI tools become when they're applied to a focused, well-defined use case rather than trying to do everything.
