One of the biggest challenges students face is forgetting what they studied weeks or even months ago. As exams approach, they often scramble to re-learn old topics, wasting valuable time and adding unnecessary stress. While flashcard and spaced-repetition apps exist, they rely heavily on manual input—students must create cards themselves and keep updating them, which becomes tedious and discourages consistent use. This leaves a major gap between learning something once and retaining it long-term.

The solution is an AI-powered “Time-Travel Study Map”. Imagine an app that passively tracks your learning journey across different formats—PDFs you read, lecture videos you watch, or notes you take. Instead of scattered resources, the app automatically logs key concepts and places them on a timeline of when you first studied them. Then, using smart spaced repetition, it “resurfaces” those concepts at the right intervals, guiding you back to earlier lessons just as you’re about to forget them. The experience feels less like rote revision and more like revisiting your own personal learning history—a memory timeline you can actually travel through.

The main beneficiaries are students preparing for exams, especially those in universities or competitive fields where long-term recall is critical. By reducing the mental burden of organizing revision, the app gives them more time to focus on understanding rather than chasing lost notes.

This problem matters deeply to me because I’ve personally experienced the frustration of forgetting concepts right when I need them most. A tool that helps students learn once and remember for the long run could be a true game-changer.
