Stemly

Stemly

Scan. Analyze. Visualize. Study.

An AI-powered STEM learning platform that transforms diagrams and problems into interactive simulations, study notes, and smart quizzes.

The Problem

Students struggle to visualize abstract STEM concepts from textbooks and static diagrams. Traditional tools offer either theory OR visuals, rarely both in an interactive, personalized way.

Our Solution

Scan any physics problem with your phone, and Stemly instantly generates:

• AI Visualiser — Real-time, parameter-driven physics simulations with interactive sliders
• AI Notes — Comprehensive study notes with formulas, examples, and resources
• Smart Quizzes — Auto-generated MCQs to test understanding immediately
• AI Tutor — Chat with Gemini, GPT-4o, Grok, or Llama 3 for personalized help

Features

AI Visualiser — Not Just a Video

A real-time physics engine with:

• Interactive control via sliders (velocity, angle, gravity, resistance)
• Natural language control — ask "What if gravity was 0?" and watch it update
• Live graphs (velocity-time, position-time, acceleration-time)
• 9+ simulations: Projectile Motion, SHM, Optics, Kinematics, Free Fall, and more

AI Notes — Study Smarter

Generated specifically for each scanned problem:

• Concept breakdowns with simple explanations
• Key formulas with physical meanings
• Step-by-step worked examples
• Curated resources from across the web

Smart Quizzes

• Instantly generated from your scanned content
• Multiple-choice with detailed explanations
• Score tracking and feedback

Multi-Provider AI Tutor

Choose your preferred AI model:

• Google Gemini (default)
• xAI Grok
• OpenAI GPT-4o
• Groq Llama 3
