A veteran educator tested AI tutors like Amira and Ello with his own kids and sees them scaling personalized one-on-one instruction across schools. He's more optimistic about AI in education than ever, after watching these tools handle elementary math and reading in ways that were once impossible.
This is the most optimistic I've been about education in the 15 to 20 years I've been working in the field. The two things that I am really, really thrilled about are AI tutors. I have a four year old and a six year old. I experiment on them all the time and I've just been wow. My time in New Orleans was early days in the ed tech school space and the products were pretty nascent. It wasn't a huge part of our strategy. But now I couldn't imagine running a school where that wasn't a pretty key part of what you were thinking about. And in the AI tutors specifically teaching kids to read programs like Amira and Ello I think are very strong for elementary math. I have my daughter on a program called Super Teacher which I think is wonderful. And then as you get up, I think there's just more and more. In the high school, college, there's a group called Study Fetch that builds on top of us that we're thrilled by. So it just feels like the AI tutors are going to happen. They'll likely be very impactful and we'll get fairly close to the dream of scaling a high quality one on one instruction for at least an hour or two a day for every kit. The other.
