How AI Drive's Agent Transformed One Customer's Long-Standing Project
In a recent conversation with Aditya Sharma, an IT professional working in Sweden, we discovered how AI Drive's Agent feature helped him tackle a project that had been challenging him for years.
The Challenge: Creating Educational Content
Aditya had been working on a passion project since 2017. In his home state of Rajasthan, India, students preparing for prestigious state-level civil service examinations face a unique challenge. While Hindi-medium students have abundant study materials, English-medium students struggle to find comprehensive resources despite needing to master the same content.
"There is a lot of course material and everything available with which the aspirants can prepare in that specific Hindi medium. But when it comes to the students of English medium... when you study in the English language, there is this technical aspect of everything which you cannot translate."
After identifying this gap, Aditya attempted to create English-medium study materials by gathering scattered research papers and resources from sources like academia.edu. However, this proved to be overwhelming for a single person. When he tried hiring assistants in 2018 to help generate content, the quality wasn't satisfactory, and he still needed to review everything line by line.
The AI Drive Journey
Aditya first discovered AI Drive in 2023 after ChatGPT launched and the plugin marketplace was released. He was initially impressed:
“My first reaction was my god it's amazing.”
He even upgraded to the Pro version to explore it's capabilities further.
However, he encountered limitations in the tool's ability to serve as a true assistant at the time. "I had to check everything... at some point it was consuming a lot of time so I stopped using the tool."
The Breakthrough with Agents
Fast forward to January 2025, when Aditya received a renewal notification for his AI Drive subscription, instead of canceling, he decided to give it another try and discovered our Agent.
"I got a notification in my email that my subscription is about to be renewed. I was initially thinking of canceling it because I thought it's not working. But then I somehow gave it a try and that's when I discovered that you guys have agents and now let me tell you what agents did for me and how it actually made me move so fast. The work that took a month was done in a couple of hours."
What happened next surprised him. Using AI Drive's Agent, Aditya tested it by uploading previous year's exam papers with 150 questions each across six files, asking for an analysis.
“This was the turning point. I said to do an analysis, it started self-learning. That was when my eyes kind of went wide open.”
The Agent:
- Read through the PDFs, self-correcting when it encountered difficulties
- Converted all 150 questions per file to markdown documents
- Performed detailed analysis of question patterns across years (2016-2024)
- Identified changing trends in question types
- Maintained context throughout the entire conversation
Aditya was impressed by the depth of analysis:
"Then it went one step further. Then it said let me give you according to the year. Then it said in this year this is the question and in this year this is the breakup. And it said wait let me go one step more. And then it said that I see that starting from 2016 till 2024 I can see the trend has changed. The aptitude questions are now being asked more."
What truly amazed him was the Agent's ability to remember context:
"It said that hey do you want me to give a suggestion how you should approach preparation of the material? My god, it remembered the whole chat. It remembered it was connecting me to the point I began with."
"Instead of just being a dumb person who can just do what I say, it was so intelligent. It took one command, and it started working. It self-corrected and then it actually provided me step by step of what I could do."
The Agent even remembered the original context about preparing course materials and offered suggestions on how to approach content preparation.
What particularly impressed Aditya was that the Agent was "not hallucinating anymore. It has the memory as well". This reliability was crucial for his workflow.
The impact was significant:
“What I could not do in six years, I think I'll be able to do a lot more in the next six months.”
Custom Agents for Specialized Tasks
Aditya has since created four custom agents for different aspects of his project: "I am using custom agents to prepare quizzes or test papers for specific subjects. Also, I'm using the custom agent in one place to verify if everything is fine according to the format I give it and then convert it to a specific format."
He also highlighted the agent's ability to analyze content in ways that traditional knowledge management tools cannot: "I can even ask if there is any duplicate content that exists in this specific folder. The Agent would go ahead and find it."
Knowledge Management Potential
As someone who has worked in knowledge management since 2012, Aditya sees significant potential for AI Drive in this space:
"Right now, your tool has the potential to actually take a bigger pie of this knowledge management industry. Every knowledge base management tool wants the content to be prepared in a specific format, which means even if the knowledge exists in Excel or somewhere else, you need to bring all of that together into this tool which means a lot of manual work."
By contrast, with AI Drive:
“If the knowledge is there, it's done. You can put your files in AI Drive and it talks to the content.”
Conclusion
Aditya's journey with AI Drive showcases how our Agent is transforming the way professionals approach complex document-based projects. What started as a challenging multi-year endeavor is now making rapid progress thanks to intelligent agents that can understand context, self-correct, and provide meaningful analysis. We're thrilled to see customers like Aditya unlocking new possibilities with our tools, and we remain committed to enhancing these capabilities further. As Aditya puts it, what might have taken years before can now be accomplished in months—that's the kind of transformation we're proud to enable.
