Back to the Project

Studylingo was inspired by the everyday struggle of staying focused while studying or browsing the web, particularly for students who want to make learning more engaging and efficient. We created a Chrome extension that combines three features: automatic web page summarization to help users quickly absorb key points, a Pomodoro timer to maintain focus through structured work and break intervals, and quiz generation that turns summarized content into interactive quizzes for active learning.
Built using React for the extension and Python FastAPI for the backend, Studylingo leverages Cohere’s AI to summarize web pages and create quizzes seamlessly. One of the biggest challenges we faced was integrating multiple features into a single Chrome extension while navigating the limited documentation for the CRXJS library we used. However, we’re proud to have successfully built our first Chrome extension and created a tool that combines AI with browser functionality to support academic growth.
Moving forward, we aim to enhance quiz generation with more diverse question formats and difficulty levels, improve the summarization capabilities for complex content, and introduce personalized study analytics to make learning even more impactful.
