## Case Studies

### VoiceBrief.io: professor-grade lectures built on Claude
- URL: https://mvplab.ai/case-studies/voicebrief
- Product: https://voicebrief.io. Turns lecture notes, papers, and textbook chapters into professor-grade audio lectures, with spaced-repetition quizzes, flashcards, and a Socratic AI tutor. Pricing: Free ($0), Pro ($9.99/month), Lifetime ($99 one-time)
- MVPLab's role: technical lead and build partner, full stack from architecture through deployment
- Claude is the backbone of the product across four production layers:
  1. Document OCR and structural cleanup: photographed notes, scanned handouts, multi-column papers, tables. Claude runs the OCR pass and rebuilds reading order and heading structure. Audio lecture quality is capped by this layer
  2. Lecture generation: Claude turns the cleaned document into a teaching script (coverage, order, depth, emphasis). Powers Teach Mode and podcast-style lessons. Credited by the founder for the jump in audio lecture quality
  3. Quiz generation: Claude writes multiple-choice questions with plausible distractors, fed into an SM-2 spaced-repetition scheduler (the algorithm behind Anki)
  4. Q&A over the document: students ask questions against their own uploaded material and get answers with citations back to the source
- Why Claude rather than TTS alone: the product's value is the gap between the words on the page and a lecture worth an hour of attention. That is a judgment problem (what matters, what order, where to slow down, what a student will get wrong), not a text-to-speech problem
- Audio: Kokoro TTS self-hosted on an NVIDIA DGX Spark for cost control and latency, with Cartesia as fallback. Self-hosting is what makes an unlimited $9.99/month tier viable
- Differentiator: word-level audio-to-text synchronization (not paragraph- or sentence-level), built as a custom layer between generated audio timestamps and parsed document structure. Users cite it most often as the reason they bought
- Shipped in the initial build: auth, payments, file handling, error recovery, usage limits, monitoring
- Outcome: early MRR with real paying customers, reached within weeks of the first commit. No dev team hired, no round raised
- Founder quote: "The whole product rests on Claude, and that was their call... MVPLab.ai built that on Claude end to end: the OCR pass over scanned and photographed notes, the lecture script itself, the quiz generation, and the Q&A our students run against their own documents. The jump in lecture quality when that pipeline landed is why our Pro conversions work at all."
