ChatEDU is an edtech startup leveraging generative AI to create personalized learning tools for college students. Over the last nine months, we've developed three products that have won five hackathons, earned funding and mentorship from Microsoft, and attracted a team of senior advisors.
Through our collaboration with Vanderbilt’s Initiative on the Future of Learning & Generative AI, we are amongst the first students to apply knowledge graphs, semantic search, and multi-agent systems to the field of education.
We aim to create the first viral higher education product since Quizlet and Chegg. As college students, we witnessed the transformative impact of ChatGPT on our peers and were inspired to create deeply personalized educational tools. Our multidisciplinary engineering backgrounds and direct insights into student pain points equip us to tackle the $5 billion edtech market.
