Learning from textbooks and course materials can be overwhelming and unstructured. Students often struggle to organize content, track progress, and get personalized help when needed. Summit addresses these challenges by leveraging AI to transform static documents into dynamic, interactive courses that adapt to each learner's journey.
Challenge
Traditional learning management systems require instructors to manually structure courses, create syllabi, and organize content—a time-intensive process. Students, meanwhile, lack personalized support and struggle to navigate lengthy textbooks without clear guidance on what to focus on and when.
Action
Intelligent Document Processing
Summit uses PyMuPDF to extract and analyze PDF structure, identifying table of contents, chapter headings, and page ranges. The OpenAI GPT-4o-mini integration then intelligently parses this information to generate comprehensive syllabi with precise page mappings for each learning module.
Full-Stack Architecture
Built on a modern tech stack combining FastAPI for robust backend API services with SQLModel ORM and SQLite for efficient data management. The Next.js 14 frontend provides a seamless user experience with TypeScript for type safety and Tailwind CSS with Shadcn/ui for a polished interface.
AI-Powered Learning Features
Beyond course creation, Summit integrates an AI tutor chat system that can answer questions about course content, generate custom quizzes and assignments, and track reading progress per chapter. Background task processing ensures smooth course generation without blocking the user experience.
Result
Summit successfully automates course creation from raw textbook materials, reducing setup time from hours to minutes. The platform's intelligent document analysis and AI-powered features create a personalized learning environment that adapts to student needs. With containerized deployment via Docker Compose, Summit is ready to scale and support diverse educational contexts.
