Astra AI

We are proud to be a part of Astra AI, a GPT-4 powered chatbot for learning math, recently launched by Astra founder Andrej Škraba in collaboration with Klemen Selakovič.

What is Astra AI?

To begin with, Astra serves as an extensive repository of Slovenian instructional videos and educational resources. Here, Andrej solves diverse math problems, offering step-by-step solutions. It's not just about obtaining the answers; it's about gaining a comprehensive understanding of problem-solving techniques – a resource that's often challenging to find in the Slovenian language.

Astra AI represents the next phase of this educational journey. By harnessing the power of GPT-4, it allows users to pose any math-related question. In response, the chatbot provides detailed answers and step-by-step explanations. Rather than relying on traditional tutoring, users now have access to their very own affordable AI tutor, available 24/7.

Easy input

An intuitive math keyboard allows for an easy input of symbols, functions, equations, and more.

Additionally, our image recognition technology is capable of identifying functions from a piece of paper, further enhancing the efficiency of the process.

Optimized for mathematics

We've added the "Astra AI Magic Notebook." This means that GPT-4 calls the calculator function when necessary, before presenting the answer to the user, thus significantly improving answer accuracy.

Graph integration

Integration with Desmos, an advanced graphing calculator, allows users to visualize and analyze mathematical concepts.

Matura AI module

In March 2024 an additional module, Matura AI was launched. High school students can now use their own personal tutor when preparing for the Matura exam, which is the Slovenian national high school exit exam. The module includes real exam questions from the RIC database and has the exact process and the solution to the problem. Thus the chatbot accurately guides the user through the problem, tests the understanding of the topic, tracks their progress through different content models and helps them prepare specifically for the exam. And if the user still needs more help, each module also includes the link to Astra’s video on the specific topic in which Andrej explains how to solve the problems step by step.

Our role in the project

We played a pivotal role in shaping the project's architecture and selecting the tools and technologies necessary to achieve our objectives.
‍
As members of the project team from the beginning, we actively assisted in defining all the project requirements, drawing on our expertise to contribute valuable insights.

Our collaboration with the Astra team was extensive and encompassed every aspect of the project. This involved constant communication with project leaders to define requirements and features, as well as close cooperation with the UX team. Our collective efforts culminated in the creation of an exceptional platform.

As a part of the generation that used Astra throughout our high school years, we are very proud to be able to work on such an exciting project. We are already planning and working on new features and can’t wait to share this journey with the team and you all.
