Could you build this?
Partial PDF annotation, AI explanations, and quizzes are standard, but low-latency stylus handwriting on Android is a specialized input-and-rendering problem. Polished pen feel and ink handling take real graphics and input expertise.
What it would actually take: Use Kotlin with a PDF rendering library (such as PdfRenderer or PSPDFKit) and a custom ink canvas with stroke smoothing and palm rejection, plus an LLM API for step-by-step help over selected regions. The hard part is low-latency stylus input and ink rendering on Android, which takes native graphics expertise and extensive device testing.
