Really cool idea! Some improvements I'd recommend with the ultimate goal being "getting users to learn the subject at hand".
1) Section Lectures on the left side need to be cleaned up, instead of just a numbered list. Seeing 30+ lectures off rip is a bit daunting, especially with no labeling, sectioning, etc. I'd imagine feeding a model a list of all the lecture titles, then having it structured should work?
2) You're doing too much on the bottom section.
You need to incorporate all those tabs into the single Ai tutor, which can run whatever tools required (maybe notes/discussion can be a small additional indication). No one's going to be using the Flashcards section, and it's calling probably the same LLM as the AI tutor, so might as well combine them.
For the quiz, maybe when the video ends or the user wants to continue, the Ai Tutor goes into "quiz mode" forcing the user to attempt or pass the quiz (depending on the settings?).
Think of this like Cursor but for Education. Cursors powerful agent can handle/do so much, you're not using 3-4 different fields.
Oh and have it on the right side instead of transcript, so it's right there in users faces instead of having to scroll down.
Great points. Definitely will improve the section lectures on the left, some formatting stuff to think about with the bottom section/transcript as well.
Not completely sure about the AI tutor points though. I don't think the standard AI chat interface is the ideal form factor for the average person trying to learn something, and there's value in having pre-generated content that users can see instead of having to actively go to the tutor.
Also, a lot of people do like using flashcards specifically to learn! Granted, our current implementation is pretty barebones so it's not super useful yet. And definitely agree that things can be cleaned up quite a bit.
