StudyStart

Study faster and smarter!

StudyStart generates questions based on your notes and quizzes you on content you may have missed. You can access StudyStart from almost anywhere - Slack, SMS and Google Assistant.

Demo

Unfortunately you can't test out the Google Assistant app, but you can still check it out by joining this Slack channel and talking to DialogFlow bot! Try commands like:

  • Quiz me on {topic}
  • I want to learn about {topic}

Some topics that are available are 'axolotl' and 'starterhacks'.

Generate more topics by uploading some notes (.txt) file to this website http://studystart-sh2018.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/.
