The New Way to Prepare: Just Talk - AI-powered avatar agent

Eureka is a chat- and voice-enabled virtual assistant designed to answer students’ questions using university resources to help them prepare for the final exam. The assistant is represented by an interactive avatar, bringing a more human touch.

This project is under NDA. I'd be happy to share the full story during an interview!

Project Overview 🌱

I worked on designing an AI-powered assistant that helps students prepare for their exams. The assistant can chat or talk with users in both Arabic and English, making studying easier and more interactive. It’s accessible on both mobile and desktop, with voice interaction enabled through the device’s microphone.

Project: AI-powered avatar agent

Duration: 2 Weeks

My Role: UX Researcher & Designer

Design Team: Solo Designer

Advocating for students with slow Internet 🌸

At first, the project was designed to work with voice. But since not all students have a strong internet connection, I wanted to make it easier for everyone to use. So, I suggested adding a chat option, making sure all students could prepare equally no matter their connection.

Old way, Lots of searching, little finding ⚡️

Before, students had to search through many pages and documents to find what they needed for exams. Now, with the AI assistant, they can simply ask questions and get quick, accurate answers in one place — making preparation faster and easier.

A student assistant you can talk to 🌴

To solve this, we designed an AI-powered assistant that students can chat with or talk to directly. It understands both Arabic and English, and it works seamlessly on mobile and desktop. All the student needs to do is activate their microphone, and they can start a conversation — just like talking to a real tutor.

Objectives 🌱

✅ Support students throughout their academic journey — through AI-guided assistance.

✅ Provide context-aware answers based on a structured knowledge base of official academic materials.

✅ Enhance digital accessibility by simplifying information delivery and reducing repetitive inquiries.

✅ Allow administrators to efficiently and securely manage and update the knowledge base content.

My Impact ✨

My role was to shape the overall experience — from designing the bilingual interface and chat flow to ensuring a smooth interaction across devices. The result is a simple, friendly assistant that helps students focus on learning rather than searching for information.
