What if I told you the next billion-dollar startup could be as simple as this:
“Learn Anything. Instantly.”
AI is reshaping industries faster than ever. Startups are raising millions (sometimes billions) to build tools that automate, optimize, and revolutionize how we work, create, and live. But here’s the twist: AI isn’t just disrupting industries—it’s disrupting itself.
Take EdTech, for example.
Remember the 2020-2021 EdTech boom? Companies like Byju’s, Coursera, and Duolingo became household names. Investors poured billions into online learning platforms, and for a while, it felt like the future of education was here.
But then came AI.
Today, learners are turning to tools like ChatGPT for instant answers, personalized explanations, and even step-by-step tutorials. Why spend hours on a pre-recorded course when AI can teach you exactly what you need, in seconds?
This shift has left traditional EdTech companies scrambling. But it’s also opened the door for something entirely new.
The Idea: A Real-Time Learning App -?
Here’s a thought that crossed my mind:
What if there was an app that could generate a full course in real time, tailored to your exact needs?
Imagine this:
1) You open the app and answer a few questions:
2) You hit “Generate.”
3) Behind the scenes, AI curates a course just for you—complete with content, images, videos, and even interactive exercises.
Think of it as “Netflix for Learning”—but instead of scrolling through endless options, you get a personalized show made just for you.
Could This Be the Next Billion-Dollar Startup?
Here’s why I think it has potential:
But here’s the catch:
This is just an idea—a spark. I don’t have all the answers, and I’d love to hear your thoughts! Would you use an app like this? Do you think it could be a billion-dollar product?
What’s your take? Let’s chat in the comments! ??
?? Augurs a nihilistic future, but I'd have to agree buddy. Products built on top of AI systems can certainly teach humans and do it better than expert-humans across a breadth and depth of topics, and at will, and with personalization, while retaining domain-expertise, generalisability and without our ape-like inefficiencies of emotion, irritation, tiredness, anger, inconsistency, distractedness, vocabulary limits, language and greed. This is largely true or it will soon be true with LLMs and Agentic systems. Forgive the over cliched response filled with an existential dystopia. But to me, the genie is out of the bottle ??♂? Its gonna be hard for one to make an appropriate analogy: Is it the invention of the wheel, the steam-engine, the internet, or is it infact the discovery of fire and our inevitable mutation into a whole new species. Nihilism, much ?? ??
