StudyGenie AI

Students juggle notes, flashcards, planners, and AI tools across many apps — losing context and time. StudyGenie brings planning, spaced repetition, and AI tutoring into one calm workspace.

Surveyed 42 students and interviewed 6 across undergrad and grad programs to understand study rhythms, procrastination triggers, and how they already use AI.

The 'Overwhelmed Undergrad' who needs structure, and the 'Focused Grad' who needs a fast, distraction-free AI reference for long study sessions.

Onboarding → syllabus import → weekly plan → daily focus session → AI chat within a topic → review & progress. Each step is skippable to avoid friction.

Explored a Notion-style workspace vs. a focused split view. The split view (plan on the left, session on the right) won for keeping students in flow.

Warm, low-contrast surfaces reduce eye strain during long sessions; a single accent color highlights the next action without shouting.

Typography scale tuned for long-form reading, a compact component set (task, card, chat bubble, streak), and dark-mode-first tokens.

Hero, dashboard, planner, and AI workspace showcase the end-to-end study experience.

An interactive prototype walks through a full study session including AI-assisted explanation and quiz generation.

In a moderated study with 8 students, task completion for weekly planning improved from 61% to 94% and average time-to-first-action dropped by 38%.

Students trust AI more when it references their own material. Progress visualization must feel encouraging, not judgmental — small wins compound.
