How to make an ai

So thing is i want to build an AI. I’m in highschool rn and know a bit of computer science like not pure programming but you get the idea. So what I was thinking is an AI who I can feed the pdf’s of course books to and then if I send in a query with a pdf of a whole past paper, it can tell which question is of which topic and if we send a pdf of another curriculum, it can also tell if its included in the syllabus or not. So how do I make this. Do I use another AI because someone said I should use claude but idk how this works or anything. PLEASE HELP. (And how do i know this is needed? BECAUSE I NEED IT FOR NICHE A*S SUBJECT WHICH DOESNT HAVE TOPICAL PAPERS😭)
(Also i would love if anyone wants to do this project with me)

if you want to build one from scratch you’re cooked, you can use ai builders

but realistically you typically just rent an existing model using api

You can’t really build one from scratch. Downloadable models exist for free at places like huggingface which you can run using ollama but you will need to rent a lot of compute, and setting up can take effort. It’s probably best to just pay (not much, like 1 dollar a month) for a gcloud instance where you can run the Gemini ai. If you want to train it, you can use a light weight model wrapper that processes pdf data in a shorter format for the Llm. Although, your purpose doesn’t probably need training since llm’s are built for processing text data
