Creating a GenAI-based Learning Mentor for an Educational Writing Feedback Tool

Are you passionate about Generative AI, educational technologies, and improving the learning experience of students? We are offering an exciting Master’s thesis opportunity to design and implement an AI mentor for our writing feedback platform Peer.
Peer is a educational tool that supports students in improving their writing through structured AI-generated feedback. We now want to take Peer to the next level:
Your mission will be to develop an AI-based assistant that acts as a smart writing mentor. This assistant will guide students through the feedback they receive on their writing, help them understand what to revise and why, answer follow-up questions students might have, and engage in voice- or text-based interactions depending on student preference. The assistant should be both context-aware and educationally supportive, using large language models and/or speech interfaces to foster deeper engagement and learning.
We are looking for Master’s students with:
- Strong interest in AI, NLP, HCI, or Educational Technology
- Experience with Python and/or web development
- Familiarity with LLM APIs (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.)
- Experience with dialogue systems or speech interfaces is a plus
