Custom Card Engine - Streamline Your Studying

Inspiration

We learn best through interaction and hands-on work, so we built Custom Card Engine to generate personalized flashcards to make learning easier and more accessible.

What it does

• Generate flashcards based on a prompt
• Leverages Perplexity AI's search capabilities to fetch the most up-to-date information and make factually accurate learning aides
• Allow sharing decks for other learners to use

How we built it

• Flask on the backend with calls to Perplexity AI
• Vite for the frontend

Challenges we ran into

• Maintaining data uniformity between our app's input and the LLM's output

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• Using LLM's to improve education
• Deploying successfully on Vercel and Railway

What's next for Custom Card Engine

• Public card library for users to share decks
• Multimodal cards with images and GIFs
• AI-assisted progress tracking for personal feedback
• Multiplayer game-modes for studying in groups
