About shortme.lk
We're building Sri Lanka's most accessible AI-powered study platform — helping students, teachers, and tutors generate question papers, revision notes, and translations in seconds instead of hours.
🎯 Our Mission
Most AI tools are built for English-speaking markets. Sri Lankan students and teachers are left with generic chatbots that can't handle Sinhala or Tamil properly, and translation tools that butcher PDF layouts. We built shortme.lk to fix that — a platform designed from the ground up for Sri Lanka's unique educational needs.
📋 What We Do
shortme.lk turns your study materials — textbooks, notes, PDFs — into actionable learning resources using AI. No technical skills needed. Just upload, customize, and download.
Question Paper Generator
Upload any PDF and generate MCQ, short answer, essay, or mixed-formal papers. Set your own question count, subject, and grade level.
Short Notes Generator
AI extracts the key concepts from your PDFs and produces structured, easy-to-revise notes. Perfect for last-minute exam prep.
PDF Translator
Translate entire documents between English, Sinhala, Tamil, and 18+ languages. Page-by-page, preserving formatting and technical terms.
AI Book Generator
Generate full multi-chapter books from a simple description. Choose from 10+ styles, multiple languages. Download as PDF or Word.
Live Interactive Quizzes
Create quizzes with real-time participant tracking, live leaderboards, and auto-grading. Share a link — participants join instantly on any device.
Real-Time Streaming
Content appears on your screen as the AI generates it — chunk by chunk, page by page. You see progress instantly, not after waiting.
🇱🇰 Why shortme.lk?
🌏 Native Sinhala & Tamil Support
Most AI tools handle Sinhala and Tamil poorly. shortme.lk is built from the ground up to support Sri Lanka's languages — for notes, question papers, and translations. Our AI models are specifically prompted to produce accurate, curriculum-relevant content in all three languages.
📄 Translate Without Losing Structure
Google Translate butchers PDF layouts. ChatGPT loses formatting and tables. shortme.lk translates page-by-page while preserving your original document's structure, tables, technical terminology, and formatting. You get a usable translation, not a mess.
🔒 Locked Pricing — You Keep Your Rate
When you subscribe to Pro at LKR 150/week, that's your price forever. Even if we raise prices in the future, your renewal rate stays locked. If your subscription expires, you have 14 days to renew at your locked rate before it's removed.
💳 Bank Transfer — No Card Needed
No credit card? No problem. Pay via bank transfer to Seylan Bank — Gampaha. Upload your payment slip, and an admin activates your Pro access within 24 hours. Simple, secure, and local.
