Abstract

Smart Doc AI is an end-to-end Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) platform designed to transform multi-format academic course materials into an interactive AI study companion. The system supports PDF, DOCX, PPTX, TXT, Markdown, and image documents, using specialized parsers and OCR for document ingestion. Extracted content is processed using sentence-boundary-aware chunking and Google Gemini embeddings. The system combines dense cosine similarity with BM25 lexical retrieval for hybrid semantic search. Retrieved passages are provided to a Gemini language model for grounded answer generation with document and page-level citations. The platform provides authenticated conversational Q&A, examination preparation, automated quiz evaluation, study planning, and analytics through a Flask REST API and React web application.
