When a teacher is absent at Shiv Charan Inter College in Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh, one Class 12 student doesn’t wait for a free period. He turns on his robot. 17 year old Aditya Kumar has built an AI Teaching Assistant named Sophie that answers questions in Hindi and can stand in for a teacher for a day.
In a video shared, Sophie introduces herself as a “AI teacher robot” created by Aditya and says she teaches at Shivcharan Inter College in Bulandshahr. When asked if she can teach properly, the robot responds that she can.
Brilliant 17 year old student build AI Teaching Assistant
This project shows how low-cost, student-led AI experiments are beginning to move from science fairs into real classrooms. This is particularly true in Hindi-speaking regions where most mainstream AI tools are still focused on English.
Aditya says Sophie runs on a LLM (large language model) chipset similar to those used by major robotics companies. The robot currently works as a voice-only assistant that can answer basic questions and provide facts across different subjects.
Sophie answer GK and Maths Question perfectly
In a demonstration, Aditya asks AI Teaching Assistant about the world’s tallest building, India’s first President, India’s first Prime Minister, the definition of energy, and the sum of 100 + 92. The robot answers in Hindi, handling both general knowledge and simple math.
Aditya sees Sophie as a backup, not a replacement. He explains that the robot can serve as a alternative teacher if a teacher is absent for a day, by explaining basic concepts and answering straightforward questions.
For now, Sophie cannot write or move; she only speaks Hindi. Aditya is working on enabling the robot to write in the next version.
