Recap Buddy: Teach It Out Loud, an Open-Weight Gemma 4 Checks Your Concepts

Description and use

Recap Buddy is a study companion that records students’ spoken explanations, uses Gemma 4 to evaluate concepts, and produces a learning diary with scores and revision priorities.

Problem

Students lack a real-time, concept‑level feedback loop when practicing the Feynman technique, leading to unnoticed gaps and incorrect understanding.

Outcome

Users receive immediate, concept‑focused feedback and a structured learning diary, enabling targeted revision and efficient study cycles.

Workflow

• Select topic
• Explain aloud while mic records
• Browser transcribes speech
• Gemma 4 reviews concepts
• Results displayed in buckets
• Score and top priorities shown
• Optional: upload notes for custom grading
• Generate and download learning diary Markdown

Evidence

Plus a score out of 100 and one thing to revise next. Upload your own notes (PDF, DOCX or TXT) and Buddy grades you against your notes instead of generic textbook knowledge.

At the end of the day, one click writes a first-person Learning Diary page for everything you taught: a score table, what you nailed, what you mixed up, and your top three priorities for tomorrow.
