Turning difficult questions into clearer learning paths.

TenTen is 10 Minute School's AI study partner across chat, app home, live classes, recorded lessons, exams, and quizzes. Behind the product is an intelligence layer: retrieval, semantic search, memory, agent workflows, evaluation, and product analytics working together so students can get useful help in the moment they need it.

From a student's question
to a useful answer.

The hard part is making the answer grounded, contextual, and measurable. TenTen needs to understand the question, retrieve the right learning material, route it through the right workflow, and keep improving after launch.

01

Understand intent

Normalize the student's request into intent, subject, class context, language, and product state before deciding what kind of help is needed.

02

Search meaning

Use semantic search over a curated knowledge base so the system can find relevant learning material even when the student's wording is imperfect.

03

Retrieve evidence

Bring back text explanations, images, and simulation references, then use RAG to compose an answer from trusted educational material.

04

Measure quality

Track response quality over time through evaluation loops, analytics, and feedback so improvements are visible, not vibes-based.

The question rarely arrives clean.

A student may not ask like a documentation page. They may send half a sentence, mix Bangla and English, attach a photo of a notebook, ask from inside a live class, or return later after forgetting the previous explanation.

That is the real product challenge. TenTen has to turn messy learning moments into structured context before any answer can be useful.

One system, many learning moments.

TenTen is not only a standalone chat window. The same intelligence needs to work inside the app home feed, live class discussions, recorded video lessons, exams, quizzes, and follow-up study flows.

Each surface changes the job. A live class assistant needs speed and context. A recorded class assistant needs timestamps and lesson state. A quiz assistant needs guardrails. A general chatbot needs memory and source-aware reasoning.

A question can carry more than text.

Some doubts arrive as a photo of handwritten notes. Some need a diagram. Some are better answered by pointing the student toward a simulation. This is why TenTen's retrieval layer cannot be limited to plain text.

  • Text answers handle direct explanations and step-by-step reasoning.
  • Images and diagrams help when the concept is visual.
  • Community-built simulations can turn a static answer into a small learning interaction.

The same answer engine cannot behave the same everywhere.

Live class support is a different problem from a general chatbot. The assistant has to read the class moment, understand the discussion, avoid interrupting the learning flow, and respond with the right level of confidence.

That is where the internal agent system matters. TenTen uses specialized workflows for different contexts instead of forcing every request through one generic path.

  • Seventeen internal agents handle different tasks and product moments.
  • Routing logic decides whether the user needs explanation, retrieval, quiz help, class context, or follow-up support.
  • Product analytics helps identify which surfaces create the most useful learning loops.

Retrieval alone is not enough.

Students do not care whether the backend is elegant. They care whether TenTen understands enough context, remembers what matters, finds the right material, and helps them move forward.

The system needs short-term memory for the current conversation, long-term memory for repeated learning patterns, and evaluations that show whether the assistant is actually getting better.

  • Short-term memory keeps the immediate conversation coherent.
  • Long-term memory turns repeated learning behavior into usable context.
  • Evaluation systems make quality visible instead of subjective.

A local learning problem
backed by a serious AI stack.

The product goal stays simple: make high-quality learning help more available to Bangladeshi students. The system underneath uses modern AI infrastructure, retrieval patterns, and evaluation discipline to make that possible.

Where I fit into the TenTen story.

My work on TenTen sits in the intelligence layer behind the interface: RAG-based retrieval, semantic search behavior, agentic workflows, technical architecture, product analytics, evaluation systems, and the practical loops that keep the product improving.

This page focuses on the product and engineering layer part where I fit in: the parts that make the experience searchable, contextual, measurable, and useful after launch.

A product moment is only the surface.

The prompt is simple. The system behind it has to know where the student is, what kind of help they are asking for, which source can be trusted, and whether the answer was useful enough to improve the next interaction.

Adoption that showed up
in real study behavior.

The signal mattered because it came from paying students choosing TenTen inside their learning flow, not from a broad free-user spike.

50%

Paid-user adoption

Half of paid learners used TenTen through the rollout, a strong sign that the assistant fit into the study journey.

500+

Active each day

A steady daily base used TenTen to resolve doubts and continue learning.

+42

Student advocacy

NPS landed at +42, showing that students were willing to recommend the experience.

TenTen became a reason to choose the product, not just a feature to try.

The cleaner read: these signals came from paying learners who got access to TenTen in 2026 after a limited beta in late 2025.

19.2% named TenTen as a reason to buy.
50% said it could influence their next purchase.
