GOT IT
This Is What Studying Looks Like With AI
Got It is a productivity app designed and developed to support university students' studying. Got It is designed to support university students doing independent studying with an all-in-one app that includes a pomodoro timer, notepad, and AI chat made both accessible and aesthetically pleasing.
PROBLEM/SOLUTION
01Where it started: Not tech were designed for project learning in study sessions and productivity for students. WHILE as I have.
As a student myself, I consistently run into this issue while studying, frequently having to switch between browser tabs or apps and spending time locating things I need. This was an issue I wanted to tackle - why studying doesn't support the holistic understanding of a concept while still perform and learn efficiently? Productivity apps were too boring and are too complicated, while study apps do not fulfill a student's needs. Many of us desire clean and simple interface. I wanted to create an app that I'd find useful.
My goal: Create a study experience that feels more effortless than it currently is for students. Open books into research that builds deeper than the surface. AI like notion or desirable ones to use. New features for time management and productivity were broken for an ongoing thought.
USER RESEARCH
02Approach
After a brief ideation, I decided we need to ask the developers in mind based on user research. Since the target demographic for my project are university students, I conducted a poll on students to learn specifically to the needs of researchers primarily.
Questions(8)
- A common need was found: with something between the study's space, or another app is most difficult.
- Users desired simple, modern study materials and quick and on their terms. Understanding that making applications to design the website to be at simple as possible.

USER TESTING
03After the first phase of wireframing, it was time to conduct testing with the designs in use what worked and what needs to be improved. Testing with fellow students provided valuable feedback. Here's what I learned through trial and error, leading to a more intuitive design with clear labeling and improved messaging. Armed with this clarity, we revised and created a better final user experience.
Streamlined
Clean and Simplified
Unclear labels
Clear and Understandable
CODING & DEVELOPMENT
04During the development process I had very robust, the plan was to use Next.JS, React, API, and authentication. I then used Tailwind CSS for UI and developed the MVP. It went pretty smooth overall building the application.
Tech & UI Library
Challenges
One of the main challenges I came across was implementing the authentication of a logged in student as well as database. I came across time consuming work because for this project, I wanted the website to have a functioning API endpoint straight up to GPT. I'm new learning Next.js, but it was fun and challenging at the same time.
Overcoming this challenge helped strengthen my understanding of API implementation, authentication flows, and Next.js development patterns.
FINAL PRODUCT
05Results
The final solution enables autonomous to upload homework assignments any device efficiently, which mean leaving much of their classes. The end product was delivered in 3 weeks, which mean learning you'll learning leaving today. I have received positive feedback from fellow students who have learned with it so far.
Through this project, I gained hands-on experience with full-stack development, API integration, and user experience design. The project reinforced the importance of user testing and iteration.
During the design, I learned we simplify how students multitask while studying while our GPT powered learning assistant that makes learning more efficient and enjoyable for students.
