Shikshak.
A personalised AI tutor for learning AI
Shikshak builds a learning path around you — from neural-net basics to transformers — teaches each concept on video, checks you understood, and adjusts the difficulty, explanation and practice the moment you're not.
A model learns patterns from examples…
The problem
AI is full of stacked ideas — gradients, loss, attention. Miss one and everything after it blurs. Videos don't notice. Chatbots wait to be asked. Learners who are lost don't know what to ask.

How it teaches
Eight steps a great teacher does without thinking — now done for every learner, every time.
Step 1
Reads your topic or your own notes — PDF, slides, Word.
Step 2
Builds a learning path for your level, goal and pace — and re-orders it as you progress.
Step 3
Writes a script grounded in your material, with real examples.
Step 4
Turns it into a video: a teacher, a voice, a board.
Step 5
Stops mid-video and asks about what was just said.
Step 6
Grades your own words — not just multiple choice.
Step 7
Adjusts difficulty, re-explains differently, or adds targeted practice.
Step 8
Still stuck? A real mentor is told, with your answers.
Quick check — just like a lesson
When you're stuck
Re-explains with a new example.
Rebuilds that part from scratch — simpler words, new picture.
Pauses the lesson and tells your mentor, with your answers.

Asha is stuck on gradient descent — 4 tries. Her answers are attached.
— A real person
Your notes, not the internet's
Every explanation points back to the page and section it came from. If your notes don't cover something, it says so — it never pretends.
9.4 Gradient Descent
Gradient descent moves each weight a small step against the gradient… the size of that step is the learning rate.

Under the hood
Hybrid search with page-level citations; weak matches are refused, not guessed.
Questions placed inside the video, about only what was said so far.
Re-explain → rebuild → hand to a human. Rules, not vibes.
Script, voice, lip-synced teacher and a board — rendered per concept.
Reconnects mid-lesson, never re-generates what you already watched.
Grades from your answers, not from what a model says about them.
