Here’s a complete AI case study for your “Chat with your documents” product (Readly), written in the same format as your OET case study example. This focuses on how Readly helps students score better in exams and manage study material more effectively using AI.

Overview

Preparing for competitive exams like UPSC, NEET, JEE, or even semester exams often involves going through hundreds of pages of PDFs, textbooks, and notes. Students waste valuable time searching for key information, understanding difficult concepts, and making notes.

We identified this gap and built Readly, an AI-powered document chatbot that transforms passive reading into active engagement. Students simply upload their PDF material and start chatting with it instantly—ask questions, summarize content, clarify doubts, and more.

The Objective

The goal was to help students:

• Quickly understand key concepts from textbooks or bulky PDFs.
• Generate concise summaries for revision.
• Ask questions in any language and receive accurate answers.
• Use a centralized knowledge base to query multiple books at once.
• Improve exam performance by getting instant help with doubts and note creation.

The tool had to be intuitive, fast, multilingual, and useful across domains like academics, competitive exams, legal studies, and corporate training.

The Challenge

Creating a personalized document assistant that truly understands context and provides academic-grade answers was no easy task.

Challenges included:

• Ensuring accurate extraction of information from diverse PDF formats.
• Supporting multilingual queries for regional and international students.
• Developing a robust summarization engine for long documents.
• Making the system fast and scalable for thousands of users simultaneously.
• Catering to diverse use cases like legal research, academic notes, or corporate SOPs.

The Solution

To overcome these challenges, we created Readly, a document-based chatbot using Google’s Gemini LLM combined with custom prompting and RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines.

Readly offers the following core features:

📥 Upload & Extract

Students can upload any PDF file—books, NCERTs, research papers, or notes. The content is instantly processed and indexed for retrieval.

💬 Chat with Documents

Students type or speak queries and get direct, contextual answers. Example:

• “Summarize chapter 3 of Polity.”
• “What are the causes of the 1857 revolt?”
• “Explain photosynthesis in Hindi.”

🧠 Store & Reuse Knowledge

Once uploaded, documents are saved in the student’s knowledge base. They can query across multiple books at any time.

📝 Summarize & Study

Use AI to generate:

• Bullet point notes
• Chapter summaries
• Flashcards
• Revision lists

🌐 Multilingual Q&A

Students can ask questions in Hindi, English, or any other language. The AI understands the question and responds appropriately.

Implementing the Tech Magic

Here’s how we built it:

• Google Gemini 1.5 Pro: Used for contextual understanding and multilingual Q&A.
• Langchain + Vector DB: For semantic search, fast retrieval, and chunk-level context.
• PDF.js + Custom Extractors: For processing different types of educational content with tables, formulas, and graphs.
• Tailored Prompt Engineering: To ensure accurate answers in the style and depth expected by students.
• Responsive Web App: Accessible via mobile and web, with a drag-and-drop file upload system.

Fixing the Potholes

Some hurdles we had to address:

• Noise in scanned PDFs: We added OCR fallback support.
• Avoiding hallucination: Implemented chunk-level citation checks and source highlighting.
• Handling big files: Used chunking and async processing to handle books over 500 pages.
• Fast response time: Optimized embedding and caching to keep latency under 3 seconds.

The Result

Since its launch, Readly has been a game-changer for students across disciplines.

✅ +35% improvement in comprehension speed ✅ +22% better retention through AI-generated notes ✅ Hours saved during revision phase ✅ Improved exam performance thanks to personalized feedback
