Meet Mita turns study material students already have into an anime-style interactive presentation guided by Mita, an expressive 3D learning companion.

Meet Mita started with a personal observation: I found character-led, anime-style presentations easier to sit through than another wall of study material. It made me wonder whether the same presentation style could make studying feel more approachable, especially for students who already enjoy anime and character-driven games.

The Philippine Statistics Authority reports that 98.8% of Filipino internet users aged 10 and older used a cellphone to access the internet in 2024. Dentsu reports that half of Gen Z worldwide watches anime at least weekly. 

I don't think students necessarily need another study tool. Sometimes, the harder part is simply feeling interested enough to open the materials they already have.

Meet Mita is my attempt to explore that idea.

It's a browser-based application that transforms a student's PDF or image into an interactive learning presentation led by Mita, an expressive 3D anime character.

Rather than returning a summary or opening a chat conversation, the application generates a complete lesson episode. Mita walks through the material using character dialogue and expressions, introduces AI-generated illustrations when concepts need visual support, and pauses for multiple-choice recall questions with feedback. Students can also raise their hand and ask questions without leaving the presentation.

A typical episode takes around three minutes to generate and roughly seven minutes to experience. Generated lessons can be reopened through a browser-local library.

The interface borrows the character-and-dialogue presentation style familiar from anime games. It isn't a branching visual novel or a replacement for teachers, textbooks, or other learning tools.

What makes Meet Mita different from a conventional AI education chatbot is the experience it creates. AI doesn't simply answer a student's question; it transforms their existing material into a structured, illustrated, interactive presentation that they can follow from beginning to end.

My hope is simple: if studying feels a little more welcoming and enjoyable, perhaps more students will be willing to start—and eventually look forward to doing it again.

I built Meet Mita during the hackathon as a working exploration of that idea, this project demonstrates the experience I wanted to make possible.
