Examinaite
AI-Powered Revision Platform
Project Overview
Examinaite is a comprehensive AI-powered revision platform designed specifically for Irish Leaving Certificate students. Built from the ground up as a teacher-turned-founder, I identified the core problem: students need targeted practice with exam-style questions, and teachers need efficient ways to create and mark assessments.
AI revision platform for the Leaving Cert. Generates LC-style questions, step-by-step solutions, PDF export; teacher dashboards inbound.
