- Obeille is a new learning platform fueled by AI for personalized multi-format lessons.
- You can configure a study program from simple prompts and create deep diving lessons, audio conferences, games and quiz.
- The idea is to use AI to make learning fun, flexible and low pressure.
A new AI platform wants to help you learn what you want, as you wish. Obeille, created by the co-founders of Popular Podcasting Tool Anchor before its acquisition by Spotify, claims to be the first learning platform fueled by AI with a program of everything that interests you at the moment. That’s about what it sounds. You put an invite on a subject as wide as the history of rice or as specific as the functioning of interest rates or the correct pronunciation of “chocolate bread”, and the oboe spits a tailor -made course that mixes text, audio, games and quiz.
Oboe’s creators launch it as a way to recover the human side of learning, based on “fundamental belief that technology should make humans smarter”. It is a deliberate counter on how AI could make us all consumers of passive content. It is a great philosophical argument, but the platform is much more practical. The oboe builds miniature educational trips very quickly and easily. Haute grease the gears of learning without deleting your participation.
To watch
The oboe lessons are presented in many formats, suitable for your way of learning. There are deep diving articles, told audio conferences, more informal AI podcasts, visual slides, quizs and a game called Word Quest (think of a very proscribed version of Wordle). The lessons are designed to have a clear tone and to adapt to the user, rather than channeling them in an AI -fit conference room.
If you want to learn something with an oboe, you can create five courses for free. After that, there are two paid plans: one that gives you 30 new courses per month and another per 100 per month, if you are a real drug addict or perhaps direct a home teaching course. There is also a common side of oboe, with public lessons that you can check and try.
AI education
Obeille promises to provide a more consistent approach to learning than the often dispersed way in which people could use the Internet. Personally, I think that libraries and librarians should be taken care of for projects like this, but it is certainly a better option than falling into a YouTube or Reddit rabbit hole. And the oboe encourages continuous learning. Finish a course and you will get recommendations depending on the tone and theme for another. In particular, there are no announcements, at least for the moment.
The inevitable defects of the generative AI are of course present. I found some small mistakes in a quick test on mushroom science, but even it was more an ambiguous conclusion. However, there is always the risk of factual error or excessive simplification. And since the oboe builds lessons so quickly, it is fair to wonder how much precision or depth will be consistent between marginal subjects or controversial subjects. Oboeur claims that several system agents are responsible for verifying the exit, not only to generate it, to help prevent it from happening.
If the topbred works as announced, the question is whether and how people will use it. To prepare the teaching material? Take a shortcut in university research? It may be a good way for people to satisfy their curiosity beyond a quick verification of Wikipedia. And this is not a bad thing when learning things online requires browsing a sea of ​​disinformation and noise to educate you differently.
