Since the emergence of Artificial Intelligence (A.I) on the mainstream tech ecosystem, we have seen it disrupt several industries. Generative A.I like ChatGPT has proven to be useful in our everyday life. People have asked, what would the future of A.I especially in education look like?

To answer this question, let’s take a look into what this tech founder, Samuel Linus is building in the EdTech space.

Samuel Linus is the founder of Nerdy Eye, a tech community that guides people who wants to learn a tech skill or transition into tech, do so successfully. With his experience in the EdTech space they realize that people will prefer to learn from a course creator with an active community over one without a community. Because of this, most course creators or coaches want to offer a community driven course but lack a platform for that specific purpose. As educators or course creator themselves, they observe 2 major problem.

Firstly, the process for coaches to offer online community driven courses is broken. Most coaches will have to host their courses on one platform and their community on other like WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord etc. which ends up not working.

Secondly, students, especially those learning virtually want a community driven learning experience like having someone to ask questions, peer-peer learning etc. but can’t get it using WhatsApp, Telegram or the traditional LMS.

Samuel Linus and his Co-Founder Franklin Emmanuel are solving this problem by building Allies an A.I powered EdTech Platform that empowers course creators or coaches to offer community driven online courses and bootcamps with an A.I Assistant.

Powering the solution with A.I is very essential as it will help the course creators manage their community by acting as an assistant community manager, generate courses sales pages, pair students up as accountability partners and improve the entire learning experience.

The A.I will be able to serve as an assistant community manager, answer questions of students, pair students up so that they don’t learn in isolation but enjoy peer-peer learning experience and course creators can generate some descriptive aspects of the courses like overview, sales or landing pages with A.I.

Talking about A.I and EdTech, Samuel Linus believes that in a couple of years, A.I will be able to generate video course contents. A.I will be our teachers in the future but as humans we will always need a community to learn and grow.

Open A.I is working on a video generating A.I product called Sora, Google is working on veo. Most people think this technology will only be used for films, ads or movies but in the future, A.I will be able to generate video tutorials on programming, design as well as any other discipline.

We look forward to the impact of what Samuel Linus and his team are building with Allies. It will help course creators or coaches make use of A.I to offer community driven online courses and bootcamps.

“In the future, generative A.I will do what it knows how to do best, generate amazing contents while humans will remain a social being that will always be part of a community. That future is what we are optimizing for,” Samuel Linus said.
