Engineer surveys med students on pain points before building an AI study platform

A Tunisian AI/software engineer is doing problem discovery before building yet another AI app. He noticed medical students still rely heavily on PDFs, textbooks, printed courses and manual QCM revision. One detail stood out: a teacher built a simple chatbot that doesn't hand out answers but guides students with questions and hints until they find the answer themselves — and students found it surprisingly useful.
He envisions a complete AI study platform built around how med students actually study: interactive QCMs, clinical cases, flashcards/active recall, adaptive revision, simulated exams, a guiding AI tutor, weak-topic tracking, and personalized revision from repeated mistakes.
He explicitly says he isn't selling anything yet — he wants feedback from students who've tried ChatGPT, NotebookLM, Anki, or Quizlet on what the real pain points are before building.
