01

From idea to live platform

I founded and built NoteCoach.ai, a student note-taking platform serving 5,000+ active users. It has reached 10K visitors with 300% monthly growth.

  • Built the platform end to end around a human-designed learning model
  • Trademarked; patent pending

02

The problem

Most students take notes without ever finding out whether they're any good. Feedback, when it comes, arrives as a grade on the test, which is too late to help. NoteCoach was built to move that feedback earlier, to the moment the notes are written.

03

What it does

NoteCoach applies a learning model I designed to teach students how to take better notes for deeper learning. AI assists the coaching with targeted feedback, helping students improve their own note-taking and understanding.

  • Scores notes and gives targeted feedback on how to improve them
  • Generates flashcards and study guides directly from the student's own material
  • Includes note-taking templates drawn from Stanford academic resources, so students start from a proven structure

04

Enhanced mode

Beyond scoring, an enhanced mode looks for what isn't on the page. It flags missing concepts, auto-generates supplementary content to fill those gaps, and adds smart highlights that point students to what matters most.

05

Designing the launch

I've studied every Apple WWDC keynote for its product design, storytelling, and launch craft. I applied those principles to NoteCoach's UI, demos, and messaging, aiming for an experience that feels clear and purposeful rather than crowded with features.
