Education and EdTech
Learning products that prove they work. From research to product, with AI inside.
In education the product has to show that people learn. I lead EdTech product and technology from research into a product teachers and learners use, with AI where it helps and evals where it matters.
- EdTech R&D
- Research into product
- Conversational learning
The challenge
Funders ask what learners gained. A demo is not an answer.
AI tutors are moving from demos into classrooms, and schools and funders now want evidence. Without a clear definition of a good answer and proof that it is given, an EdTech product stalls at the pilot.
How I help
Pick where to start. Six ways to work together in education and EdTech.
Three outcomes at a fixed price, and three roles monthly or on demand. Most clients start with one and add a second.
