ByteCupids sparks real learning through conversations, not just content — nurturing students through mistakes, discussions, and discovery.
Today's computer science education is:
- Heavily theoretical and passive
- Disconnected from real-world applications
- Lacking interactive, hands-on, and discussion-driven learning
- Missing structured, gamified, progressive journeys and adaptive support
Gap:
- No guided practice, real command-line interactivity, or visual simulations
- No safe, judgement-free space for students to discuss, make mistakes, and learn through dialogue
ByteCupids is building a virtual, animated, interactive learning lab where:
- Students progress through topics → modules → labs in a step-based flow
- Labs include readings, videos, code-driven visualizations, hands-on exercises, and sandbox simulations
- A library panel and live chatbot assistant (LLM) support real-time doubts
- Gamification (badges, progress tracking) keeps learners motivated
- The experience blends the rigor of textbooks, the intuitiveness of animations, and the excitement of live coding/playgrounds
- Admin Entry: Feed new modules and meta-information
- Content Generation Agents: Auto-generate topics, content, and problem statements
- Reinforcement Agents: Build interactive dialogue flows, visuals, and learning scripts
- User Exposed Agents: Discuss with users, control canvas, adapt to user behavior
- Analytics & Adaptation: Track user behavior, session data, and agent learning
- Agent 1: Input Organizer (standardizes module metadata)
- Agent 2: Module Analyst (curates topic list using LLMs, web, books, etc.)
- Agent 3: Topic Curator (cleans, deduplicates topics)
- Agent 3.X: Content Curators (parallel agents create raw content per topic)
- Agent 4: Content Validator (structures and validates content)
- Agent 5: Quality Analyst (QA loop, human fallback)
- Agent 6: Distributor (splits to DB, problem setting, reinforcement chain)
- 6.1: DB Insertion (topic/content save, backup)
- 6.2: Problem Setting (problem setter workforce, aggregator, QA)
- 6.3: Reinforcement Chain (dialogue generators, QA, script finalizer)
- Agent 7: DB/Elastic Dumper (fast lookup)
- Agent 8: Training Data Builder (for agent tuning)
- Agent 9: Canvas Controller (drives visuals, rendering)
- Agent 10: Discussion Controller (real-time chat/voice, nudges, guides, never directly gives answers)
- Reinforcement Learning: Agents and user-facing models learn and adapt based on session data and analytics
- Human-in-the-Loop: Admin/human QA at critical points for quality control
- Extensibility: Multi-LLM support, analytics, session tracking, cluster scaling, RLHF
- Frontend: Dynamic canvas, real-time updates, WebSocket, STT/TTS for voice, admin dashboard for module curation
- Tech: React.js + TypeScript, TailwindCSS, Framer Motion
- Features: Auth, modular navigation, API services, lazy loading, clean separation
- Extensible: New modules/topics/resources easily pluggable, GeminiChatPanel stub for future LLM chat
- Tech: Java 17, Spring Boot 3.2, Clean Architecture (presentation → application → domain → infra), PostgreSQL, Gradle
- Features: Auth, user management, lab resource APIs, JWT security, DTO-driven, modular, ready for extension
- Extensible: New APIs, entities, and features can be added cleanly
- Not Over-Engineered: Modular, extensible, and built from first principles. Each agent has a clear responsibility.
- Strengths: Clean separation, DTO-driven, human-in-the-loop, agent orchestration, future-proofing for scale and LLM flexibility.
- Pitfalls to Watch: Agent explosion (too many microservices), QA bottlenecks, LLM cost/rate limits, canvas complexity, model drift.
- Admin dashboard input + Agents 1,2,3 (topic list generation)
- Expand to full content curation and validation (Agents 3X,4,5)
- DB save + problem setting (6.1, 6.2)
- Dynamic Canvas + Discussion Controller (9,10)
- Analytics, session tracking, scaling
- Discussion-First: Students are guided through open-ended problems, discuss their approach, and are nudged by LLM agents toward deeper understanding.
- Judgement-Free: Mistakes are celebrated, and learning is driven by conversation, not just content delivery.
- Memory: System should remember student attempts for personalized context.
- Backend: Extend with agent infrastructure, new entities (problems, mini_projects, dialogues), new APIs, orchestrators, background jobs, LLM abstraction, WebSocket endpoints.
- Frontend: Admin dashboard for module curation, dynamic canvas, chat/discussion modules, real-time updates.
- Security: Role-based admin APIs, JWT, audit trail.
