I've been building an AI-powered platform for colleges. Looking for honest validation before I keep going.
(Small note: I used AI to help me write this post because I'm better at building than writing.)
For the last few months, I've been building StudyShare.
The idea came from a problem I saw almost every day in college. Information is scattered everywhere—notes in WhatsApp groups, notices buried in emails, previous year papers in random Google Drives, and students asking the same questions because there's no single place to find answers.
So I thought, what if every college had its own AI-powered knowledge hub?
That's what I've been building.
Some of the things it does today:
- An AI assistant that answers questions using your college's own resources.
- Automatically converts official college emails into notices inside the app.
- Automatically uploads study material shared in designated WhatsApp groups to the platform.
- Organizes notes, previous year papers, tutorial links, AI-generated quizzes, and college discussions in one place.
The goal isn't to replace a college ERP or LMS—it's to make information easier to find and stop students from digging through chats and emails every day.
Right now, I'm not trying to sell anything. I'm mainly looking for honest validation from other builders and students.
- Does this solve a real problem?
- Is this something you would've actually used in your college?
- What would make a platform like this genuinely valuable?
I'd really appreciate any feedback—positive or negative. It'll help me decide where to take the product next.
