@boardyai @andrewdsouza building Bloom AI, an AI tutor platform designed around real pedagogy for universities and schools, just moved to NYC to bring it to the US market. want in on Boardy Pro

The most inspiring story about the use of AI

Bloom AI is now free for educators.

If you teach at a school, university, or education provider, you can now create a free Bloom Teaching Space and start exploring what AI looks like when it's designed to reinforce learning. You can even share your Bloom with up to 30 students.

Educators need AI that help students understand and support productive struggle, rather than just generating answers.

With Bloom, educators can:
- Create AI learning support grounded on their own materials
- Give students guided help with built-in pedagogical guardrails, not just answer generation
- Get visibility into student questions, patterns, and understanding

Nathan Ha and I won the Grand Prize (Track 3) in the EdTechnical AI in Education Forecasting Competition.

Our forecast: by 2028, only ~2% of US high school students will spend >2 hours/day learning through AI-powered personalized systems.

The constraint isn’t technology, it’s institutional adoption.

We’ve published the full essay explaining our reasoning here: https://t.co/PiUemhgpeP

Generic AI is harming student learning. One study from @Penn showed that it degraded student performance by 17%.

So we built @BloomAITutor: AI that reinforces learning instead of bypassing it.

If you want early access, reply and I'll DM you a code.

@garrytan From an education perspective, they can harm learning because they give answers too quickly and don't encourage curiosity.

Social media analogy (imperfect): 15 years ago, you could have said "it's the future" and that kids need to learn early. But evidence of harm took years.

@hitRECordJoe 100% agree. We're building safe, secure AI for learning at @BloomAITutor

I just put up a new video on the fundamentals of quantum computing, building up to a step-by-step walk-through of something known as Grover’s algorithm. Here's an excerpt of a quiz used to introduce the topic.

Learning styles are a myth.

A banger of a paper dropped a few days ago from John Hattie and Tim O’Leary looking at 2,500 meta analyses on learning styles.

[Gary Liang @_garyliang]

💡The takeaway? Don’t match teaching to fixed “styles”. Let's focus on helping students be adaptive and find learning strategies which work best for their task, learning stage, and context.

We're excited to announce that Bloom AI, in collaboration with @UNSW, has secured a $480,000 Ignite grant from Australia's Economic Accelerator (AEA) to develop "SPARK: Sovereign Pedagogical AI for Reinforcing Knowledge."

[Bloom AI @BloomAITutor]

We need AI that works with students, not just for them.

✍️ Students can collaborate with Bloom through the Canvas Interface. Informed by feedback best practices and aligned with your institution's curriculum, Bloom nudges and guides, but the student is always in control.

Have you heard of Cleo?

Cleo was an account on Math Stack Exchange that was infamous for dropping the answer to the most difficult integrals with no explanation...

often mere minutes after the question was asked!!

For years, no one knew who Cleo was, UNTIL NOW!

[Bloom AI @BloomAITutor]

Most AI tutors just give answers.

Bloom AI Tutor does something different—it guides students to think critically.
