Show HN: Edu AI, a company grown from my research (AI and pedagogy)

Jan 15, 2024 - news.ycombinator.com
Charlie, a 24-year-old researcher and entrepreneur from London, has shared about his UK ed-tech startup that has emerged from his AI-driven pedagogy research project at Goldsmiths, UoL. He has observed a loop of educators and students using ChatGPT for creating, completing, and marking assignments, which he believes is problematic. His research focuses on maintaining a human element in the learning process and applying AI in a way that benefits long-term student learning outcomes.

Charlie has developed a quiz generator hosted on https://learn.eduease.ai, which uses the OpenAI API to create quizzes based on input topics or uploaded PDFs. This tool is currently free, with Charlie personally covering the API costs. However, a recent 4000% increase in traffic has led him to reconsider this model. He invites anyone interested in investing, supporting, or sharing insights about this project to contact him.
