AI & learning

Study Agent

My main personal project: an AI-assisted learning system for complex technical subjects. I’m combining AI agents, source-grounded retrieval, and connections between topics and prerequisites to support deeper understanding while keeping learners involved in the process.

A little about me

Beyond the work.

I’m Benjamin, an AI engineer based in Vienna and a computer science student at TU Wien. My interest in AI extends beyond work through Study Agent, my personal exploration of AI-assisted learning.

I also independently attend conferences and summer schools, including ESSAI and the Digital Humanism Conference in Vienna in 2026, and WeAreDevelopers in Berlin in 2025.

Mathematics is a deep interest of mine. Outside software, I devote much of my time to piano and classical music, particularly Chopin, Ravel and Beethoven.
