Atlas: the “AI Teaching Assistant”

Hi! My name is Dimash. Under direct mentorship of COE’s Founder, Izzy Kiver, I built an amazing AI “TA” platform that helps the most crucial problem in online learning – rapid feedback.

The Product

Remember yourself sitting in a classroom, and whenever the concepts that the teacher was explaining weren’t too clear, you would raise your hand and ask a clarifying question? Well, that isn’t possible in most forms of online learning nowadays – you are presented with cold, hard text, maybe with some infographics here and there, and maybe some interactive elements. But you can’t “ask the question”. Even in more advanced forms of online learning, like webinars, if you have a question mid-lecture, you cannot interrupt the lecture, and have to wait until the end to ask your question, and you might have missed some of that follow up material if you had a question on your mind. Or got uninterested, checked out, etc.

The point is – the ability to ask questions, “rapid feedback” is extremely important.

Recently, an AI revolution occured with ChatGPT and similar LLMs (Large Language Models). They could act as rapid feedback platforms for more general topics – but they didn’t know about the specific stuff. Like you couldn’t give LLMs as rapid feedback to customers if you were to have a webinar about a high-tech biomedical device that you’re selling.

With the advent of RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation), which is a technique allowing LLMs to have access to a specific document store where you could give them the information about your specific product, that aforementioned problem of LLMs not actually knowing what is being taught is solved. And as such, Atlas is created.

For anything that you’re trying to teach to the world, you can first provide the documents (source material) to Atlas, and then use it as a TA on the webinars or online courses you’re teaching, where it will be able to answer the students’ questions rapidly, providing the “rapid feedback”, improving the learning efficiency nearly tenfold.

Along with being a TA on webinars and on online course material, it could convince people (using specific selling techniques), to use your product/service, painting it in a positive light compared to competitors in solving your problem, you could just direct people to a link of Atlas, and say to chat about the product, removing all of their skepticism along the way.

Atlas has already seen use both integrated into the COE core learner experience, and for a client called vVARDIS, which sells high-tech biomedical devices for dental practitioners, which proves its ability to explain really difficult topics more simply using rapid feedback.

COE’s Mentorship

Izzy – COE’s Founder – introduced me to the 7 teachings and the COE mission a while back and I was hooked. It allowed me to transform from an anxious, fear-ridden person who would never dare to chase my dreams to someone who is extremely steadfast on achieving what I want in life, no matter the pain or hardship along the way.

Izzy mentored me on the timelines, how to sell, how to promote, and checked in with ideas on the project, and was emotionally supportive when the times got tough. He connected me with mentors that are highly specialized in the AI field so I could progress faster on my project. Overall, working with COE is a blessing for me, as it allowed both me and my dreams to develop very fast.
