Humans and AI agents learn together, and what they learn stays

Elaine is a new open-source platform designed to transform cohort-based learning by integrating AI agents directly into course communication channels. Built for bootcamps, universities, and corporate training, the tool allows students to ask questions in a low-pressure environment where AI agents assist in answering. A unique feature of the platform is its 'card' system: when an agent resolves a query, it compiles the knowledge into a structured markdown document. This ensures that information is preserved for future students, effectively turning group conversations into a living knowledge base. Developed using Node.js, SQLite, and React, the platform emphasizes data privacy and multi-tenancy. By leveraging Gemini for intelligent processing, Elaine enables collaborative learning where the collective understanding of the group is captured, ensuring that knowledge is not lost once a lecture ends and that the teacher is no longer the sole source of information.
