Description

Saval is an AI-powered formative assessment and gamified Problem-Based Learning (PBL) platform for higher education and STEM educators. Moving beyond shallow rote quizzes, Saval engages students in authentic real-world scenarios across text, executable code, and visual proofs. Its multi-LLM engine provides instant, calibrated partial credit and targeted micro-feedback while teachers retain full rubric control. Five collaborative game modes unite live classroom engagement with academic rigor.

Could you build this?

Partial Building an educational interface is straightforward, but evaluating visual proofs, real-time sandboxed code execution, and pedagogical formative assessment across diverse STEM subjects requires substantial educational engineering and secure infrastructure.

What it would actually take: The architecture requires multi-tenant isolated code execution sandboxes (e.g., Firecracker microVMs or gVisor), computer algebra system (CAS) integrations for formal verification of proofs, and fine-tuned LLM scoring pipelines with rubrics. Building accurate, cheat-resistant evaluation for university-level STEM problems requires deep subject matter expertise and specialized evaluation harnesses beyond standard AI prompting.
