Vaxu AI

Vaxu AI is a study tool that uses AI to make learning material, with one rule: every answer has to point to a real source. I built it because AI chatbots are useful for studying but happily make things up, and in school that is a real problem.

What it does

You give Vaxu a document or a topic, and it produces study material from it:

• Source-verified quizzes. Every question comes with a clickable source, so you can check the answer instead of trusting it.
• Flashcards. Generated in one click, with spaced repetition built in so the cards you struggle with come back sooner.
• Visual timelines. Chronological overviews of a topic with verified images and links.
• Research reports. Longer write-ups built from live sources.

It is aimed at two groups. Students use it to prepare for exams faster. Teachers can generate material that matches their curriculum and hand it out to a class.

How it was built

Vaxu combines a language model with Tavily, a search API built for AI applications, so that the content is grounded in live sources rather than in the model’s memory. The front end was built with Lovable. I designed the flows, decided how verification should work and what a “verified” answer means, and iterated on the interface until it felt clear.

Status

A learning project. The site is live, but I am not developing it further.

What I got out of it

This was my first real AI product, and it taught me the difference between a demo and something that has to be trustworthy. Grounding, citations, prompt design and dealing with the model being wrong are all things I now think about from the start. It is also the project that made me want to build much bigger things with AI, which is what I am doing now.
