Alu Learn
AI can fundamentally improve the lives of millions of students by providing personalized instruction and feedback on a scale that no human tutor ever could. Yet despite this, generative AI is viewed not as a tool for growth but as a way to cheat on assignments and avoid rigorously learning content. Alu Learn attempts to change this by building an AI tutor capable of individually understanding students. Like any effective human tutor, Alu guides students through problems without directly giving them the answer. Alu works with students, prompting their thinking with questions, rather than doing the work for students. Moreover, as Alu interacts with a student, it will learn the student’s unique preferences and dynamically adapt its lessons to be tailored to the student’s needs. This will be particularly impactful for students who are unable to afford or access a traditional tutor.
