Overview
Studora is a live learning platform for Nigerian university students, launched in November 2026 at studora.com.ng. Students find course notes and past questions organised by school, department and level, upload and share resources, and learn together through a realtime academic feed. At its centre is Sage, an AI study companion that answers questions and breaks difficult topics into simple steps using the student's real course materials. A dedicated Python PDF service (FastAPI on Modal, PyMuPDF extraction with OCR fallback) processes uploaded documents. Paid plans, Studora Plus (₦2,500/month) and Studora Pro (₦5,000/month), are billed through Paystack.
Problem: Many Nigerian university students struggle with scattered course materials, poor access to past questions, unorganized academic resources, and limited collaboration across departments and universities.
Solution: Built and launched a centralised platform where students access notes and past questions by school, department and level, share resources, learn through a realtime feed, and study with Sage, an AI companion grounded in their own course materials.
Impact: Live and in use since 2 November 2026, giving Nigerian university students one organised home for course materials and AI-assisted study.
