I've created a prototype React component for StudySync AI that demonstrates the core functionality. Let me break down the key features:

1. File Upload

• Supports text file upload
• Uses FileReader to process uploaded content
• Styled with a clean, modern UI

2. Mock AI Generation

• Simulated generateStudyMaterials function (would be replaced with actual AI API)
• Generates:
  • Summary
  • Practice quiz questions
  • Flashcards

3. UI Components

• Responsive design using Tailwind CSS
• Uses Lucide React icons for visual appeal
• Sections for Summary, Quiz, and Flashcards
• Loading states and disabled buttons for better UX

Limitations in this prototype:

• Only supports .txt file uploads
• Uses mock data instead of real AI generation
• No actual AI API integration

Next steps for a full implementation:

• Integrate OpenAI/Claude API
• Add support for PDF/DOCX uploads
• Implement actual quiz checking
• Add export functionality
• Error handling

Would you like me to elaborate on any part of the prototype or discuss potential improvements?

I'll modify the prototype to use the OpenAI API for actual text processing. I'll create a backend using Flask and a frontend that communicates with it.

I've updated the prototype with a fully functional implementation. Here's what you'll need to do to run it:

Backend Setup (Python):

1. Install dependencies:

pip install flask flask-cors openai

2. Set your OpenAI API key:

export OPENAI_API_KEY='your-openai-api-key'

3. Run the Flask server:

python app.py

Frontend Setup (React):

1. Install dependencies:

npm install axios react lucide-react

2. Run the React app

Key Improvements:

• Real OpenAI API integration
• Error handling
• File upload support
• Backend/frontend communication
• Responsive design

Limitations:

• Uses GPT-3.5 Turbo (free tier has usage limits)
• Parsing AI responses can be inconsistent
• No persistent storage

Potential Next Steps:

• Add more robust error handling
• Implement quiz scoring
• Support more file types
• Add user accounts
• Improve AI prompt engineering

Would you like me to elaborate on any part of the implementation?

I'll modify the frontend to use the built-in fetch API instead of axios.

I've replaced the axios library with the built-in fetch API. The key changes are:

• Removed the axios import
• Replaced axios.post() with fetch()
• Used await response.json() to parse the response
• Kept the same error handling and functional logic

Everything else remains the same. The code should now work with the supported libraries and React hooks. Would you like me to explain any of the changes?

This error typically occurs due to CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) issues or the backend not being configured correctly. Let me provide a more robust solution that addresses potential network and configuration problems:

1. Backend (Python Flask) Modification:

import os
from flask import Flask, request, jsonify
from flask_cors import CORS
import openai

app = Flask(__name__)
# Allow all origins for development
CORS(app, resources={r"/*": {"origins": "*"}})

# Set your OpenAI API key here (ideally from environment variable)
openai.api_key = os.getenv('OPENAI_API_KEY', 'your-openai-api-key')

def generate_study_materials(text):
  try:
      # Truncate text if it's too long to prevent API limitations
      text = text[:4000]  # Limit to prevent overwhelming the API

      # Generate Summary
      summary_prompt = f"Provide a concise 3-4 paragraph summary of the following text, highlighting the key concepts:\n\n{text}"
      summary_response = openai.ChatCompletion.create(
          model="gpt-3.5-turbo",
          messages=[{"role": "user", "content": summary_prompt}]
      )
      summary = summary_response.choices[0].message.content

      # Generate Quiz Questions
      quiz_prompt = f"Create 3 multiple-choice quiz questions that test understanding of the key concepts in this text. Each question should have 4 options. Provide the response as a JSON-formatted string with each question having 'question', 'options', and 'correctAnswer' fields:\n\n{text}"
      quiz_response = openai.ChatCompletion.create(
          model="gpt-3.5-turbo",
          messages=[{"role": "user", "content": quiz_prompt}]
      )
      
      # Safely parse quiz questions
      try:
          quiz_questions = eval(quiz_response.choices[0].message.content)
      except:
          quiz_questions = [
              {
                  "question": "Sample quiz question",
                  "options": ["Option A", "Option B", "Option C", "Option D"],
                  "correctAnswer": 1
              }
          ]

      # Generate Flashcards
      flashcard_prompt = f"Create 4 detailed flashcards for the most important terms and concepts in this text. Provide the response as a JSON-formatted string with each flashcard having a 'term' and a 'definition':\n\n{text}"
      flashcard_response = openai.ChatCompletion.create(
          model="gpt-3.5-turbo",
          messages=[{"role": "user", "content": flashcard_prompt}]
      )
      
      # Safely parse flashcards
      try:
          flashcards = eval(flashcard_response.choices[0].message.content)
      except:
          flashcards = [
              {
                  "term": "Sample Term",
                  "definition": "Sample definition of the term"
              }
          ]

      return {
          "summary": summary,
          "quizQuestions": quiz_questions,
          "flashcards": flashcards
      }

  except Exception as e:
      return {"error": str(e)}

@app.route('/generate-materials', methods=['POST'])
def process_text():
  if 'file' not in request.files:
      return jsonify({"error": "No file uploaded"}), 400
  
  file = request.files['file']
  if file.filename == '':
      return jsonify({"error": "No selected file"}), 400
  
  try:
      text = file.read().decode('utf-8')
      study_materials = generate_study_materials(text)
      return jsonify(study_materials)
  except Exception as e:
      return jsonify({"error": str(e)}), 500

if __name__ == '__main__':
  app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=5000, debug=True)

2. Frontend (React) Modification:

import React, { useState } from 'react';
import { FileText, Book, HelpCircle, Layers } from 'lucide-react';

const StudySyncAI = () => {
const [uploadedFile, setUploadedFile] = useState(null);
const [studyMaterials, setStudyMaterials] = useState(null);
const [isProcessing, setIsProcessing] = useState(false);
const [error, setError] = useState(null);

const handleFileUpload = (e) => {
  const file = e.target.files[0];
  setUploadedFile(file);
  setError(null);
};

const generateMaterials = async () => {
  if (!uploadedFile) {
    setError("Please upload a file first");
    return;
  }

  setIsProcessing(true);
  setError(null);

  const formData = new FormData();
  formData.append('file', uploadedFile);

  try {
    // Use the correct full URL, replace with your actual backend URL
    const response = await fetch('http://127.0.0.1:5000/generate-materials', {
      method: 'POST',
      body: formData
    });

    const data = await response.json();

    if (data.error) {
      setError(data.error);
    } else {
      setStudyMaterials(data);
    }
  } catch (err) {
    console.error("Full error:", err);
    setError(`Network Error: ${err.message}. 
      Ensure backend is running on http://127.0.0.1:5000 
      and CORS is configured correctly.`);
  } finally {
    setIsProcessing(false);
  }
};

// Rest of the component remains the same as in previous version
return (
  // ... (same component code as before)
);
};

export default StudySyncAI;

Key Changes and Troubleshooting Tips:

1. Backend Modifications:

   • Added host='0.0.0.0' to allow external connections
   • More robust CORS configuration
   • Added error handling for API responses
   • Truncated input text to prevent API limitations
   • Fallback sample data if AI generation fails

2. Frontend Modifications:

   • Used http://127.0.0.1:5000 instead of localhost
   • Improved error messaging
   • Added console error logging

Recommended Setup Steps:

1. Ensure Python backend is running:

   # In backend directory
   export OPENAI_API_KEY='your-openai-key'
   python app.py
   

2. Ensure frontend is running:

   # In frontend directory
   npm start
   

Potential Issues to Check:

• OpenAI API key is correctly set
• Backend is running on port 5000
• No firewall blocking local connections
• All dependencies installed

Would you like me to elaborate on any part of the setup or help you troubleshoot the specific network error you're experiencing?

The error suggests there might be a syntax issue. I'll simplify the error handling and make the code more robust:

import React, { useState } from 'react';

  const [isProcessing, setIsProcessing] = useState(false);
  const [error, setError] = useState(null);

  const handleFileUpload = (e) => {
  const file = e.target.files[0];
  setUploadedFile(file);
  setError(null);
  };

  const generateMaterials = async () => {
      if (!uploadedFile) {
          setError("Please upload a file first");
          return;
      }

      setIsProcessing(true);
      setError(null);

      const formData = new FormData();
      formData.append('file', uploadedFile);

      try {
          const response = await fetch('http://127.0.0.1:5000/generate-materials', {
          method: 'POST',
          body: formData
          });

          const data = await response.json();

          if (data.error) {
          setError(data.error);
          setStudyMaterials(null);
          } else {
          setStudyMaterials(data);
          }
      } catch (err) {
          setError(err.toString());
          setStudyMaterials(null);
      } finally {
          setIsProcessing(false);
      }
  };

I've made the following changes:

• Simplified error handling
• Ensured consistent state management
• Removed complex error string concatenation
• Used err.toString() for error conversion
• Added explicit setStudyMaterials(null) when errors occur

The key modifications address potential syntax issues and make the error handling more straightforward. The code should now be more robust and less likely to cause parsing errors.

Would you like me to explain any part of the changes?

The issue is that the Flask-CORS library needs to be installed separately. Here's how to set it up:

1. Install Flask-CORS:

pip install flask-cors

This library adds CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) support to your Flask application, allowing the React frontend to communicate with the Python backend.

If you're using a virtual environment (which is recommended), make sure to activate it first before installing:

# Create a virtual environment (if not already created)
python3 -m venv venv

# Activate the virtual environment
# On Windows:
venv\Scripts\activate
# On macOS/Linux:
source venv/bin/activate

# Then install the requirements
pip install flask flask-cors openai

I recommend creating a requirements.txt file to manage dependencies:

flask
flask-cors
openai

You can then install all dependencies with:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Would you like me to explain anything further about setting up the backend dependencies?

Here are the step-by-step instructions to set up the React project:

1. Create a new React project:

npx create-react-app studysync-ai
cd studysync-ai

2. Install additional dependencies:

npm install lucide-react

3. Replace the contents of src/App.js with the StudySync AI component I provided earlier.

4. Make sure to import Lucide React at the top of the file:

import React, { useState } from 'react';
import { FileText, Book, HelpCircle, Layers } from 'lucide-react';

5. Modify package.json to add a proxy for the backend (to avoid CORS issues):

{
"name": "studysync-ai",
"version": "0.1.0",
"proxy": "http://127.0.0.1:5000",
...
}

6. Update the fetch URL in the component to use a relative path:

const response = await fetch('/generate-materials', {
method: 'POST',
body: formData
});

7. Start the React development server:

npm start

This will create a complete React project with the StudySync AI frontend. The app will automatically open in your default web browser.

Make sure you have the Python backend running separately on port 5000 with the OpenAI API key set.

Would you like me to elaborate on any of these steps?

After creating the project, you'll need to:

1. Configure Tailwind in tailwind.config.js:

/** @type {import('tailwindcss').Config} */
export default {
content: [
  "./index.html",
  "./src/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx}",
],
theme: {
  extend: {},
},
plugins: [],
}

2. Add Tailwind directives to src/index.css:

@tailwind base;
@tailwind components;
@tailwind utilities;

3. Replace the contents of src/App.jsx with the StudySync AI component I previously provided.

4. Update vite.config.js to add a proxy for the backend:

import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import react from '@vitejs/plugin-react'

export default defineConfig({
plugins: [react()],
server: {
  proxy: {
    '/generate-materials': {
      target: 'http://127.0.0.1:5000',
      changeOrigin: true,
      rewrite: (path) => path.replace(/^\/generate-materials/, '/generate-materials')
    }
  }
}
})

5. Run the project:

npm run dev

Would you like me to explain any part of this setup?

That's a great alternative! We can modify the backend to use a local LLM through llama-cpp-python. Here's how we can adapt the project:

1. First, install the necessary dependencies:

# Install required Python packages
pip install flask flask-cors llama-cpp-python

# Download a Mistral model (you'll need to download this separately)
# For example, from Hugging Face: https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.1-GGUF

2. Updated Backend Python Script:

import os
from flask import Flask, request, jsonify
from flask_cors import CORS
from llama_cpp import Llama

app = Flask(__name__)
CORS(app, resources={r"/*": {"origins": "*"}})

# Load the Mistral model (adjust path to where you've downloaded the model)
llm = Llama(
  model_path="/path/to/mistral-7b-instruct-v0.1.Q4_K_M.gguf", 
  n_ctx=2048,  # Context window size
  n_batch=512  # Batch size
)

def generate_study_materials(text):
  try:
      # Truncate text if it's too long

      # Generate Summary
      summary_prompt = f"Provide a concise 3-4 paragraph summary of the following text, highlighting the key concepts:\n\n{text}"
      summary_response = llm(
          prompt=summary_prompt, 
          max_tokens=300,
          stop=["\n\n"],
          echo=False
      )
      summary = summary_response['choices'][0]['text'].strip()

      # Generate Quiz Questions
      quiz_prompt = f"""Create 3 multiple-choice quiz questions about this text.

  app.run(host='0.0.0.1', port=5000, debug=True)

Key Changes:

1. Replaced OpenAI API with Llama.cpp
2. Uses a local Mistral model instead of cloud API
3. Added robust error handling and fallback mechanisms
4. Attempts to parse JSON responses from the local LLM

Prerequisites:

• Download a Mistral GGUF model (e.g., from Hugging Face)
• Install llama-cpp-python
• Adjust the model path in the script

Recommended Model Download:

• Visit: https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.1-GGUF
• Download a quantized model like mistral-7b-instruct-v0.1.Q4_K_M.gguf

The frontend React code remains exactly the same as in the previous version.

Would you like me to elaborate on any part of this local LLM implementation?

if __name__ == '__main__':
  app.run(host='127.0.0.1', port=5000, debug=True)

I changed host='0.0.0.1' to host='127.0.0.1'. The previous value was an invalid IP address, which caused the error you're seeing.

The corrected full script would use 127.0.0.1 instead of 0.0.0.1. Make sure to:

1. Double-check the model path
2. Ensure you've installed all required dependencies
3. Verify the model file exists at the specified path

Would you like me to show the full corrected script again, or does this explanation help you resolve the issue?
