Description

An AI-powered Turkish private tutoring platform designed with parents in mind. Arf employs the Socratic method to teach—using voice interaction and on-screen drawing—without ever directly providing the answer. Catering to all levels from preschool to university, as well as exams like the LGS and YKS, the platform is also compatible with the curricula and course content of the USA and the UK.

Could you build this?

Partial While wrapping an LLM with Socratic system prompts and voice synthesis is straightforward, coordinating real-time low-latency bidirectional voice with synchronized programmatic whiteboard drawing requires advanced frontend-backend streaming synchronization.

What it would actually take: A production version requires WebSockets or WebRTC for low-latency streaming audio (using OpenAI Realtime API or custom STT/TTS pipelines) paired with a server-orchestrated vector canvas protocol (like tldraw). The complex part is accurately syncing audio cues with step-by-step math vector rendering on the canvas in real time while enforcing pedagogical guardrails against revealing answers. This requires skilled full-stack audio/canvas engineers with experience in educational UX.
