The world has a global shortage of 69 million teachers. Without them, it is nearly impossible to meet the basic educational needs of the population worldwide. To solve this issue, OIAI provides personal teachers, powered by Artificial Intelligence.
Hi Hunters & Makers!
My name is Krizia. Some of you may remember me from the lunch of Teddy AI (...Thanks for your incredible support!).
For those who never heard of me, here some information: I work for Otermans Institute, and my organisation is focusing on research and developing affordable educational tools using Artificial Intelligence.
Today, I am thrilled to share with this beautiful community that we released our WORLD'S FIRST Digital Human Teacher.
🚩The problem
The world needs 69 million teachers by 2030.
Without them, we cannot meet the basic educational needs of the population worldwide! This shortage has caused a ripple effect, leading to overcrowded classrooms, overworked educators, and a decline in the quality of education.
💡How can an AI teacher help solve the problem?
An AI teacher can teach students anywhere at any time.
With an AI teacher, we can teach students living in remote areas with limited access to qualified teachers. People who may not have access to a school, or even clean water, now have smartphones. We can use mobile technology and today's fast internet to give a digital humanlike teacher on everyone's phone!
🎯What is OIAI?
OIAI builds friendly and humanlike teachers always available for every learner. They are not meant to replace human teachers but help them. OIAI will upskill a generation of learners by removing the barriers associated with access to quality teachers and trainers globally.
The project began over two years, when our digital humanlike teacher trained refugees in UNHCR camps (Northern Iraq).
🔥What can OIAI offer you today?
Today, you can meet Beatrice, and she can teach you "The Art of CV Writing" in a webinar format. You can chat with Beatrice and follow her lesson at the same time. You can ask for tips or express your doubts.
Meanwhile, we are preparing one-to-one lessons, and soon, you can test the full potential of OIAI by speaking with Beatrice and getting a reply verbally and in real time.
OIAI is currently free for everyone.
🫶Why do we need your feedback?
Our mission is to upskill an entire generation of learners guaranteeing equal access to education and helping solve the global shortage of teachers. Your feedback will help us build a better educational tool and upskill millions of underserved learners. Please, tell us your overall experience and what kind of features you would like to see in OIAI.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Krizia

@krizia_silvestri she is quickly becoming one of my favourite ‘humans’! The webinar has some good advice and is very interesting, and Beatrice has some good tips. It’s fun to chat with her throughout. Amazing to see this tech being used to enhance learning!
The quality of your avatar is astonishing. Her face and her way of talking make me feel relaxed. I can say that my experience is, indeed, a positive one. Are you thinking on developing new lessons that are not under the “soft skills” range? Would love to see more topics.
@pooja_kamble1 hi!! Thanks for your kind feedback! Our mission is to give a teacher to everyone, and the ultimate goal is to let our digital trainers teach everything! We are considering developing new courses upon request and collaborating with human teachers to create a more tailored curriculum. Is there a particular topic that you would like to suggest?
Report
@pooja_kamble1 I have seen better avatars. I think if the one to one works that's game changing, but for now its only a video in webinar isn't it?

@krizia_silvestri is the one to one round the corner, or a gimmick for quick likes? Info will be appreciated.
@bsl_test one-to-one around the corner! This community (you included😎) will be the first to test the Conversational AI, fully!

@krizia_silvestri thanks but when i round the corner? Lots of AI devs happening in this space already I reckon?

💎 Pixel perfection
Good Job! Looks good just could you try to make the eyebrows move. Also the left eye from my pov is not in line and please give it forehead marks. The head is tilting too much to one side while speaking. The AI will look more approachable in semi formals or casuals. Overall i think its great. With a few more tweaks i think it is almost the end of us HUMANS 😂
@daiva_deep_verma hi! Thanks for your feedback! We are adjusting the moves of our teacher, and it will definitely be improved within the next release! Btw, this very first digital teacher has been created following the real face of one of our dear friends!
@tm_c1 deepfake and we are preparing 3D teachers as well. The next release is planned by the end of the month. Btw, what do you think about the overall experience about the short webinar?
Report
@krizia_silvestri thanks and look forward to it. The webinar is ok but keen to see the above actually coming live.

I think is a great product, but I don’t understand why we need an AI teacher if there are already several eLearning platforms full of free courses... thoughts anyone?
@liam_gunit That's true; there are several e-learning platforms full of courses tailored to specific needs and budgets. but let me share a reflection with you: "Can someone who is the first in their family to enter education learn without a teacher?" If we suppose "yes", then wouldn't we be able to solve the global skills gap a long time ago... simply by distributing free books or conventional e-learning platforms to those in need?
We, as humans, need guidance to learn effectively. And this guidance is traditionally provided by teachers.
But unfortunately, there are not enough (human) teachers for everyone, and that's why we decided to build OIAI.
If you have time, look at our TEDx Talk, it might help to reply to your questions with fresh insights! Here the link:
Happy to chat more about this topic!

@krizia_silvestri thanks for sharing. Is it also useful for me in UK though?
@daiva_deep_verma it was due to the high volume of signup requests received simultaneously! I just checked with the tech team, and it is all fixed now! Enjoy the webinar.

The Avatar looks amazing. It is so life like. Unknowingly, I spent nearly 25 minutes talking to her and now I have so much more clarity of CV writing. I tend to ask lot of silly questions and my batchmates made fun of me. I lost the confidence to ask question. Out here no fear of some one mocking you. I actually realised that my questions made lot of sense and the answers to them where equally important.
Great to see learning through bilateral dialogue made so easy. I want more update and some more courses to learn.
