The innovative MindEasy app in a Google competition

Klara Skorupowska and Julia Nogowska, students at Warsaw University of Technology, are members of the team that developed MindEasy, an app designed to adapt educational materials to a student’s current psychophysical state. The app is competing in the Google Gemini API Developer Competition, and voting is open until the end of October!

MindEasy is an advanced educational app designed to unlock a student’s full learning potential. Using EEG (electroencephalography) data, it personalizes educational content in real time, adapting to each student’s unique cognitive state. By tracking brainwave activity, the app detects when a student is focused, relaxed, or fatigued, and dynamically adjusts the difficulty, pace, and type of materials to optimize engagement and learning outcomes.

The creators of the app are a group of students: Klara Skorupowska (WUT/University of Warsaw), Kornelia Bartoszewicz (scholar at the Rafał Brzoska Foundation), Julia Nogowska (WUT), Albert Łukasik (Nicolaus Copernicus University), Krzysztof Tołpa (Nicolaus Copernicus University), and Dawid Pietrykowski (Nicolaus Copernicus University).

The app integrates Gemini API to function as an adaptive, AI-powered tutor. It customizes instructions based on EEG data, delivering personalized feedback and adjusting lesson plans to correspond with the student’s current mental state. MindEasy offers a diverse range of lessons across various subjects, ensuring a well-rounded education. After each chapter, students are assessed, and if they answer incorrectly, Gemini AI provides additional explanations, reinforcing the material until the student fully understands it.

This learning approach is particularly beneficial for students with special needs, providing an stimulating and effective educational experience. The app continually improves by learning from each student's EEG data, and enhancing its recommendations to provide even more personalized learning experiences. By combining neuroscience with AI-driven education, MindEasy redefines learning, turning it from a mere duty into an engaging journey toward a deeper understanding and a long-term success.

Vote for MindEasy

The app is competing for the People’s Choice Award in the Google Gemini API Developer Competition. The competition task was to develop an innovative app that integrates Gemini API and positively impacts the world, along with creating a demonstration video. The main prize is an electric 1981 DeLorean, famously featured in "Back to the Future." The total prize pool for the competition is $1 million USD.

You can vote for MindEasy until the end of October on the competition website. The results will be announced at the end of 2024.
