Repaso: a local AI study companion for my friend Alex

Description and use

Repaso is a local, browser‑based study companion that turns notes into practice questions using an on‑device LLM, but it currently shows accuracy limitations.

Problem

Alex needed a quick way to turn class notes into practice questions without relying on external services.

Outcome

The prototype successfully generated practice content but exhibited inaccuracies (e.g., mislabeling a stack as FIFO) and repeated questions, indicating the need for a more capable model and correctness checks before use.

Workflow

• Open the local page on localhost
• Click "Activar IA local" to download and initialize the model
• Load sample notes about stacks and queues
• Click "Crear práctica"
• Review generated text and download button appears

Evidence

The generation completed, but it also exposed a significant limitation: the 0.5B model repeated questions and incorrectly described a stack as FIFO in one answer.

Source

There are no accounts, database, or server‑side AI API. Notes stay in the current tab and are not saved when it closes.
