Monday is a voice-enabled AI learning companion designed to bridge the gap between natural language queries and high-quality educational content. Inspired by Marvel’s JARVIS and FRIDAY, Monday delivers tailored responses in three modes—Basic, Reasoning, and Deep Research—while integrating immersive visualizations, curated video content, and accessibility-first design.

​
Features

  • Three Learning Modes: Basic factual answers, step-by-step reasoning, and deep research investigations
  • Voice-first interaction for hands-free learning with natural language processing
  • Real-time 3D visualizations of concepts using Three.js & WebXR
  • Curated educational YouTube video integration from trusted sources
  • Multi-modal feedback combining text, speech (via ElevenLabs), and spatial panels
  • VR-optional design for immersive experiences without requiring a headset
  • Accessibility-focused interface for mobility- and vision-impaired users

​
Prerequisites

  • Node.js 18 LTS or newer
  • Modern web browser (Chrome, Edge, or Firefox recommended)
  • Microphone for voice interaction
  • Optional: VR headset for immersive mode (WebXR compatible)
  • Perplexity API key, ElevenLabs API key, and YouTube API key
