  • Real-time analytics processing service that crunches quiz performance data

  • AI-powered insight generator using Gemini for personalized learning recommendations

  • Live dashboard with charts showing learning trends and patterns

  • WebSocket connections for instant updates as students take quizzes

  • Integration bridge connecting Day 18's scoring engine to Day 20's topic mapping

Think of it as building the "Netflix recommendation engine" but for learning - analyzing patterns, spotting knowledge gaps, and predicting where students need help next.
