Integration of Ai Tools into an Ai-Driven Software System to Make Learning Programming Easier
Dražen Drašković · 2025
Today, a person can be considered fully digitally literate if they know how to use and integrate ready-made artificial intelligence (AI) tools. The use of AI tools is becoming increasingly common in students' learning processes. However, learning programming can be challenging and exhausting, especially for younger learners. In this research, a software system was developed to integrate multiple AI tools to facilitate the learning process. The system includes tools for speech and text processing, program code generation, code testing, and result verification. Through a user-friendly software interface, users can define a problem or programming task using speech. The software then converts the speech into text using the Whisper AI API, which is subsequently processed by the GPT-3.5 Turbo and Claude AI APIs to generate program code. Once the program code is generated, it undergoes a series of tests, including parallel testing on the LeetCode platform. Users then compare the obtained results and manually complete a survey evaluating both external tools. One key research requirement was for the software system to accept input data in Serbian, a language with limited resources and complex grammatical rules. This made it difficult to find a suitable AI tool for accurate speech-to-text transformation. The system was tested with speech in both English and Serbian but supports many additional languages thanks to the powerful Whisper AI API. The implemented system is modular and easily extensible with new APIs, making it applicable to other areas of education beyond programming.
