Nik Iyer

founder of genda. building AI for students who are stuck and don't know why. posting the journey.

[Nik Iyer @NikIyer_]

The next generation will grow up with superintelligence at their fingertips.

For the first time, students will coexist with systems that can reason, explain, and solve beyond most humans.

If we want that future to be positive, education has to evolve first.

Access to intelligence alone is not enough.

Students need to learn how to question it, use it, challenge it, and still think for themselves.

@sflorimm LinkedIn should be lower tbh

Feedback is the entire point of studying.

A lot of students just grind flashcards, do textbook problems, or use some ai slop tool to get through the work.

But if nothing tells you exactly what you don’t understand, you’re basically studying blind.

The students who improve fast are the ones who actually use the feedback.

What are your favorite study/work snacks?

I need some new recommendations

[Nik Iyer @NikIyer_]

If you have exams coming up and feel behind, reply here or DM me.

I’ll personally onboard you to Genda and make sure you know exactly what to focus on before your exam.

[Nik Iyer @NikIyer_]

I spent 3 years figuring out why students get stuck, not unmotivated. not lazy. literally just lost with no way to figure out where.

so I built genda. AI that shows you exactly what you don't understand.

@delveroin Ontology driven AI learning platform that show's you exactly what you don't understand, and helps you fix it.

@CII4WR @CIIEvents @NinadKarpe @pmariwala building a STEM startup is a different animal. you're selling something people don't fully understand yet to people who are skeptical by nature. the unlock for us was showing, not telling. one demo does more than a hundred pitch decks.

@stella_por54898 the real problem isn't the curriculum. it's that a student can fall behind in week 2 and not find out until the final. no feedback loop. that's what i'm building genda to fix, real time understanding of where each student is stuck.

[Nik Iyer @NikIyer_]

@WSJ starting something from nothing never gets easier, you just get better at handling the chaos. building genda taught me that. respect to anyone who does it twice.

@MindOfBharat @kushgrwl this is why accelerators matter more than people think. YSpace gave us mentors who actually built things, not just people who funded them. one call saved us weeks. the ecosystem needs more builders helping builders.

[Nik Iyer @NikIyer_]

@asksensay this applies to education too. the best teachers know how to spot when a student is lost before the student even realizes it. that instinct is hard to pass on. AI can capture that pattern recognition and scale it to every classroom.

[Nik Iyer @NikIyer_]

@UPCEA in education AI isn't replacing teachers. it's showing them exactly which students are stuck and where. right now teachers are guessing. AI just gives them the data.

[Nik Iyer @NikIyer_]

@LightspeedIndia @mukundjha @emergentlabs the hardest problem in education is that a student can be completely lost and have no idea where or why. textbooks don't adapt, professors can't scale. that's what i'm building genda to solve.

[Nik Iyer @NikIyer_]

@LyraQuinne @0xDeltaHedged @OpenGradient @Web3Arcadia the founder journey is wild. i went from getting 24% on a university math exam to building an AI that makes sure no student ever feels that stuck again. the lows teach you what to build.

[Nik Iyer @NikIyer_]

@Techparleynews love seeing more people build in this space. the way i see it, most AI tutoring tools give answers. genda shows students what they don't understand so they actually learn. different problem, different approach.

[Nik Iyer @NikIyer_]

when i started building genda it was just me and a problem i couldn't stop thinking about.

now we're in the YSpace accelerator, talking to mentors, and putting the finishing touches on the platform before release.

still feels surreal honestly.
