IJETEV1I1A011 – EDUMATE: A DUAL PURPOSE BROWSER EXTENSION FOR AI-DRIVEN LEARNING AND CYBERSECURITY PROTECTION

ABSTRACT –  In today’s digital learning environment, students increasingly depend on online resources and AI tools for academic support. However, this growing reliance on the internet also exposes them to cybersecurity risks such as phishing, data theft, and malicious websites. EduMate provides four key modules: the Ask Module, which delivers step-by-step AI-generated answers to academic queries; the Summarize Module, which converts lengthy notes or articles into concise bullet points; and the URL Safety Module, which detects and warns users about suspicious or phishing links while browsing study materials. By merging AI-powered educational assistance with cybersecurity awareness, EduMate not only enhances students’ learning efficiency but also ensures a safer and more responsible digital learning experience. The project demonstrates the potential of integrating artificial intelligence with security awareness to build intelligent, ethical, and secure educational tools.
