# Inquinion (IVY-Copilot for Engineers & STEM)
> First-principles AI tutor, document-grounded study companion, and adaptive learning roadmap platform for STEM learners and engineering students.

## System Overview
Inquinion (developed by Inquinion Labs Private Limited, founded by Sharath Jonnala) replaces disjointed chatbots, scattered notes, and static flashcards with a unified engineering and STEM learning workspace. It combines document-grounded RAG tutoring, Socratic first-principles teaching, proactive exam nudges (7 days, 3 days, 1 day, 2 hours before exams), and automated knowledge gap diagnosis.
