Show HN: Turn any study material into practice questions with one photo

https://www.lexielearn.com/en
2•e_patjas•1h ago
Built this because kids 10-15 can't prompt AI effectively. They'd type "make quiz plz" and get confused when ChatGPT asks for context.

Lexie takes 46 steps of AI prompting, context explanation, and output formatting and makes it one step: point camera, get quiz. The photo constraint isn't just better UX, it's the only way to get usable output from that age group.

This demographic gets the worst deal in edtech. Too advanced for baby apps, too young for adult tools. They get gamification theater instead of real learning tools.

I stripped all that out. Photo your geology notes, get instant flashcards and quizzes that expose what you don't actually understand.

No ads, no trackers, photos stay on device. Making money from subscriptions, not from kids.

Available on iOS, Android coming soon. Works in English and in Finnish .

Personal motivation: got tired of watching my kids waste time highlighting and re-reading when I knew there was a better way to study.

Update: We're Building an Open-Sourced, Privacy-Focused, Free PDF WebApp:)
