Beginnings
PagePal is a web app that aims to help people understand what they are reading by quizzing them on the book’s content.
Inspiration
No student wants to read something they’ll instantly forget, so PagePal gives the power of AI to assess the user. PagePal is simple to use! Just go on the website, search for your book and chapter, and a multiple choice quiz is generated for you to test your understanding.

How It Works
Using GPT-3, PagePal will generate relevant questions relating to a book and its respective chapter. It uses a custom web scraper to get summaries of the book which means that even new books are automatically entered into the PagePal database.

Conclusion
As the developers of PagePal, we share a passion for reading and yet feel as though schools, especially in earlier years, don’t teach students to read effectively. This results in students adopting poor reading habits, where they utilize online summaries, analysis, and more, instead of simply reading the book themselves and effectively trying to understand it.
