StudyPod

Project Pitch

Thousands of students struggle daily to balance their studies, manage time, and absorb vast amounts of information. Our AI-powered podcast generator transforms articles and study notes into personalized, natural-sounding podcasts, making learning effortless and flexible. Podcasts are the new hype and represent a rapidly growing media format that people are increasingly consuming in their daily lives. With this mobile app, students can effortlessly turn study time into productive, enjoyable listening anywhere, anytime - tapping into the proven effectiveness of audio learning through convenient smartphone access that seamlessly integrates with their on-the-go lifestyle.

Front End

We will use React Native with Expo and TypeScript to build a responsive mobile app that users can interact with. NativeBase will provide the UI components for consistent design across iOS and Android platforms.

Back End

We will use MongoDB to store user information and podcast content, and deploy a Node.js server with Express to handle data transfer between the front end and the database. Gemini AI will process and transform text content into podcast scripts, while ElevenLabs/Play.ht API will generate natural and unique voices for the audio content.
