Miyagi Labs uses AI to transform YouTube content into complete, interactive courses. Imagine a 3Blue1Brown video turned into an online course with quizzes and study material. Miyagi Labs helps people learn better with active practice and personalized feedback. Learning is flawed: YouTube has top-notch content on everything for free, but 1-1 tutoring (which most people can’t afford) is still 2 standard deviations more effective than other methods. Miyagi Labs' platform (https://miyagilabs.ai) automatically generates questions, quizzes, and personalized feedback, turning passive watching into an active, engaging experience. Learners receive instant responses to their answers and can access an AI voice tutor for additional guidance. It allows creators and educators to focus on what they do best while it handles active learning and engagement. Founders?Guang Cui?and?Tyrone Davis III?met in college at MIT, where they studied Computer Science. Both are extremely passionate about learning and teaching. Tyrone became a chess master in four years just by watching YouTube videos. He's learned five languages and has taught computer science around the world. Guang has learned and taught algorithms (as a TA), math, physics, music, and ninja warrior to thousands of students. Congrats to the team on the launch! ?? https://lnkd.in/gzFd4thN
