“We’ve learned so much developing our 4th grade math offering, which is now deployed in over 35 schools for the 2023-24 school year. 95% of the teachers using it in their classrooms would recommend it to their fellow teachers. But we’ve always known that the key piece of that solution is the powerful AI-based learning platform underneath it, which could easily be used in other learning domains that we ourselves had no intention of building content for,” says Rajen Sheth, CEO of Kyron Learning. “With this announcement, we’re opening the Kyron Learning platform up to other learning solution providers so that they can leverage the same cutting-edge AI technology that we’ve developed for ourselves. We have been working with early customers in the K-12, Higher Ed, Tutoring, and Professional Skilling spaces, and are excited how they are leveraging the Kyron Learning platform to augment their offerings.”
