Challenge

Build an Adaptive Exam Preparation AI Tutor using Vercel AI SDK and OpenAI o3

Google's launch of AI-powered learning tools for Indian competitive exam prep highlights the need for personalized tutoring. In this challenge, you will develop an adaptive web-based question synthesizer and AI tutor application using Vercel's AI SDK and OpenAI's o3 model reasoning capability. The application will stream step-by-step solutions for complex competitive exams (JEE, NEET, UPSC), dynamically evaluate student mastery levels, and generate customized practice problems with fine-tuned difficulty curves.

Delivery guide

How work is evaluated

Evaluation

Evaluates accuracy of competitive exam solution steps and LaTeX output formatting.

Datasets

Challenge datasets

Public datasets, plus the private datasets you have access to.

Evaluation rubric

How submissions are scored

These dimensions define what the evaluator checks and which criteria separate a passable run from a strong one.

Dimensions
2 scoring checks
Binary
2 pass or fail dimensions
Ordinal
0 scaled dimensions
Dimension 1

latex_formatting_test

Verifies that solution steps contain valid LaTeX mathematical notations.

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 2

explanation_clarity

Completeness and step accuracy of problem decomposition. • target: 0.95 • range: 0-1

Binary check
