Study Pill started as a personal tool — a Level 300 nursing student at the University of Ghana, staring at 400 slides the night before finals, wondering why there was no faster way to turn a lecturer's deck into something you could actually drill on your phone.
The answer was to build it. Upload a lecture, get back structured notes, a key facts table, and 10 exam-ready MCQs — in under five minutes, on any device, working offline. The engine is subject-agnostic: nursing, law, engineering, biochemistry, academic writing. Drop in the slides and the same pipeline runs.
Study Pill is built on GlueArrow — the identity, financial, and AI infrastructure layer designed for African digital products. Your login, your wallet, and your MoMo payments all flow through GlueArrow's secure platform, which means Study Pill never stores payment data and never asks for a bank card.
The AI pipeline uses GlueArrow's Brain service (backed by Google's Gemini models) for ingestion and essay grading, with optional Claude (Anthropic) for higher-complexity processing. The app runs on Google Cloud Run with a managed Postgres database — the same production-grade infrastructure that serves GlueArrow's broader ecosystem.
