We built some tools using ChatGPT API to test how AI can help in educational activities
CourseGPT feature aims to assist K-12 teachers in generating comprehensive course content, particularly when they encounter knowledge gaps in certain subjects.
PaperGPT helps high school and college students swiftly understand state-of-the-art research papers by extracting content in straightaway language.
IdeaGPT is a valuable tool for college students to assess the originality of their research paper ideas. By utilizing IdeaGPT, students can determine if their proposed topic has been explored before and access relevant papers aligning with their research focus.
