What needed to change
An online learning company was looking for a way to move faster with generative AI. During an internal hackathon, one of the winning ideas was a study tutor built into digital course materials that could create chapter summaries and sample multiple choice questions for exam prep.
The concept fit the company's product roadmap, but it had to become more than a good demo. The team needed to know quickly whether it could be turned into a real product and released in time for the next back to school season.
That meant proving more than the model worked. The company had to show the tutor could fit its flagship product, help students in a meaningful way, and be accurate enough to earn trust from both schools and learners.
How Iviju delivered
Iviju started by pressure testing the idea from both a product and delivery standpoint. That early work confirmed the study tutor had commercial potential and clarified what tools, people, and review steps were needed to get it out the door on a short timeline.
From there, the team built an MVP. Because large language models were still new to many of the people involved, the work included a lot of hands on learning while the product was taking shape. Content summarization mattered most, so that feature went through multiple review cycles with content authors and user acceptance teams before release.
Within six months of the hackathon, the tutor reached 95% accuracy. Iviju and the client launched a pilot in two titles, rolled it out to a small group of universities and students, and then expanded once the early response was strong.
The finished product gave students several ways to study. In addition to summaries and practice questions, it supported more adaptive learning, explanations tied to selected passages, responses that could reference images, and voice based interactions.
Implementation specifics
- Evaluated the study tutor concept for commercial viability
- Defined the tools and delivery path needed for a fast release
- Built an MVP around summarization and practice question generation
- Ran multiple review cycles with content authors and UAT teams
- Reached 95% accuracy within six months of the hackathon
- Piloted the tutor in two titles with a small group of universities and students
- Expanded the release after early validation and user feedback
What changed after delivery
The project moved from hackathon concept to market launch in a single back to school cycle. It gave the company a study tutor that students could use for summaries, practice questions, explanations, and voice based support inside the learning experience they already knew.
It also opened the door to more work beyond one product. After the company saw strong internal interest in similar ideas, Iviju helped create a shared generative AI platform that could be used to prototype and test new products faster.
The business results were strong. The company reached 10,000 daily active users, grew sales 5% during the launch period, expanded to more than 600 AI enabled titles, and found that 70% of students rated the tutor extremely useful.
