Former Meta AI VP debuts Sizzle, an AI-powered learning app and chatbot | TechCrunch

Sep 20, 2023 - techcrunch.com
Sizzle, an AI-powered learning app founded by Jerome Pesenti, former VP of AI at Meta, has launched four new features. These include a grading capability, a feature that regenerates steps, an option to see multiple answers to one problem, and the ability to upload photos of assignments. Unlike other math solver platforms, Sizzle also solves word problems in physics, chemistry, and biology, and acts as a tutor chatbot, guiding students through each step of a problem.

The app, which has over 20,000 downloads since its launch in August, is free to use and plans to remain so for solving step-by-step problems, although it may introduce a premium offering and in-app purchases in the future. Sizzle recently secured $7.5M in seed funding from Owl Ventures, 8VC, and FrenchFounders, which it plans to use to expand its team and develop the product further.
