So I’ve been building an AI tutor called Lucky that works entirely inside WhatsApp, and wanted to share it here!
We wanted to avoid the whole “download another app, create another account, learn another interface” experience. Most students already spend so much time in messaging apps anyway, so we thought: why not bring studying directly into an app they already use every day? As someone who used to commute to Queens College every day, I know how exhausting long commutes can be and how helpful it would’ve been to study more casually on the train or bus without needing to pull out a laptop or jump between a bunch of different apps.
You can connect to the WhatsApp number through our site once, and after that everything happens directly inside WhatsApp. You can ask questions naturally, upload PDFs, lecture slides, diagrams, photos, or audio recordings, and Lucky breaks everything down in a structured way while also generating interactive flashcards and quizzes directly inside the chat -- actual cards and quiz flows you can click through while studying. Since it remembers your past chats, quizzes, and courses, your study sessions keep building on each other over time instead of starting from scratch every time.
The goal is to eventually expand this to other messaging platforms too (like iMessage), but WhatsApp felt like the best place to start.
Would something like this actually be useful to you? Either way, are there any features you’d really want from an AI tutor inside a messaging app
If you want you’d like to try it out, and lemme know and I'll send it over!
