Description
Albie teaches on a whiteboard you share: you write with a pen, he reads your handwriting and draws as he explains. Talk or chat with him. He gives quick quizzes, sets homework, codes with you, opens your web projects in-lesson, and builds small apps.

Could you build this?
Partial Building an interactive canvas is doable, but synchronizing multimodal real-time handwriting recognition, voice streaming, and dynamic canvas drawing with sub-second latency is technically complex.
What it would actually take: Requires WebSockets/WebRTC for low-latency bidirectional voice and canvas event streaming, integrated with OpenAI Realtime API or Gemini Multimodal Live API. Synchronizing stroke-by-stroke vector rendering triggered by LLM tool calls alongside streaming audio requires sophisticated client-state and conflict-resolution engineering. The hardest part is maintaining natural conversational pacing while parsing and drawing mathematical/diagrammatic canvas primitives in real time.
