  • New Feature: MCQ questions are now automatically detected and processed
  • Better Performance: More reliable AI responses with Gemini 2.5 Pro
  • Screen Sharing: Fixed black screen issues during presentations/recordings

For Developers

  • Type Changes: New UnifiedProblemSchema replaces individual schemas in some contexts
  • Model Update: Default model changed from gemini-2.0-flash-exp to gemini-2.0-flash-thinking-exp-1219
  • Enhanced Error Handling: Better error messages for MCQ vs coding problem differentiation

🚦 API Changes

New Response Format

interface UnifiedProblemSchema {
  type: 'mcq' | 'coding';
  mcq_data?: MCQSchema;      // Present when type === 'mcq'
  coding_data?: ProblemSchema; // Present when type === 'coding'
}

MCQ Schema

interface MCQSchema {
  question: string;
  options: {
    A: string;
    B: string;
    C: string;
    D: string;
  };
  correct_answer: 'A' | 'B' | 'C' | 'D';
  explanation: string;
}

🔮 Future Enhancements

  • MCQ-specific solution explanations and learning resources
  • Support for different MCQ formats (True/False, multiple correct answers)
  • Advanced MCQ analytics and difficulty assessment
  • Integration with learning management systems

⚡ Performance Impact

  • Positive: More reliable AI model reduces retry attempts
  • Positive: Unified schema reduces processing overhead
  • Neutral: MCQ processing adds minimal latency
  • Positive: Screen sharing fixes improve presentation experience

Inconsistent parameter passing between OpenAI and Gemini handlers. OpenAI handler receives problemInfo.coding_data and signal, but Gemini handler receives modelName and problemInfo. This will cause the Gemini handler to fail since it expects UnifiedProblemSchema but the function signature shows it should receive the coding data directly.

The generateSolutionResponses function signature is inconsistent with the OpenAI handler. It should accept ProblemSchema (coding_data) directly like the OpenAI handler, rather than UnifiedProblemSchema, since the validation is already done in the processor index.

Suggested change
problemInfo: UnifiedProblemSchema,
): Promise<SolutionSchema> {
const { geminiApiKey } = stateManager.getState(); // Get Gemini key
if (!geminiApiKey) {
throw new Error('Gemini API key not set');
}
// Only generate solutions for coding problems
if (problemInfo.type !== 'coding' || !problemInfo.coding_data) {
throw new Error('Solution generation is only available for coding problems');
}
const codingData = problemInfo.coding_data;
codingData: ProblemSchema,
): Promise<SolutionSchema> {
const { geminiApiKey } = stateManager.getState(); // Get Gemini key
if (!geminiApiKey) {
throw new Error('Gemini API key not set');

// Handle coding problems (existing logic)

The fallback logic for legacy problemInfo is incomplete. If problemInfo doesn't have a type property (legacy format), this will set codingData to null even for valid coding problems. Consider adding a fallback: const codingData = problemInfo?.type === 'coding' ? problemInfo.coding_data : (problemInfo?.type ? null : problemInfo as ProblemSchema);
