Everyone's asking what AI can do for their job. We asked if it could teach a 6-year-old.

Introducing Ello 2.0: reading, math & more for ages 4-9.

Everything we build will have a free tier, and it will be completely free in emerging markets, beginning in Africa.

Teachers are critical but have an impossible job. Classrooms have to teach to the average student. But 0% of children are average. Families that can afford it solve this gap with a 1:1 tutor. We bring that tutor to everyone.

Ello adapts teaching to each child, in the moment. No two kids ever have the same experience.

We built for the hardest case there is: a young child with limited resources and no one to teach them.

This is hard.

➡️ Kids don’t talk like adults, so we trained our own speech models.
➡️ Teaching isn't a chatbot response, so we have 4 LLMs running at every moment to make real pedagogical decisions.
➡️ Young kids are hard to engage, so all of this has to happen in under 1s.

Solve this, and you've built the best teacher in the world for every child; whether they're bored and unchallenged in a US classroom, or one of the 270 million kids worldwide without a teacher.
