Aida
Aida helps learners learn by utilizing AI to create a deeply personalized tutoring experience. Working currently with calculus in particular, the Aida app works to help learners get “un-stuck” using OCR tech and a math engine to read their work, and adaptive diagnostics to help them study and deepen their understanding of the material.
Persona Cards.
It was important to me when I began work on making some improvements with Aida that we understood who our users were. Rather than just a simple persona blurb, it felt more engaging and useful to me to use the existing color palette and user data to generate more robust and engaging “user profile” cards.
Diagnostic Redesign.
Sometimes the best usability improvements are the simplest. We needed a way for students to be able to see when diagnostics were in progress, ready to be taken, or temporarily unavailable. Using grayscale and tags, we make these different states clear and understandable at a glance.
Homepage Refresh.
Aida is intended to be a personal tutor. This homepage prototype would help it be just that. Letting students create their own trackers for exams or big assignments, bubbling up useful supplemental materials, highlighting the OCR “snap-my-math” feature” prominently, and communicating in a tone that is friendly and professional all work towards that goal of making Aida a relied-upon study tool.
Improved features & functionality.
A keyboard redesign, and an onboard calculator feature prototype would help make Aida the swiss-army knife of math homework. Forgot your calculator at home? calculator on your phone not advanced enough for what you need to do? Aida has you covered.
Prototyping & Streamlining.
Pulling from the aesthetics of other camera apps, making the shot the primary focus with other buttons being more supplementary made the most sense from a design perspective. By adding toggles for marquee and full-screen as well we hoped to support both types of primary user groups that either submit pictures of one line or multiple lines of math homework.
