Overview

As founder and technical lead of Gyosu, I built an innovative educational technology platform from the ground up, growing it to serve over 3,000 active users across multiple educational institutions. The platform leverages AI to create personalized learning experiences while fostering collaboration between students and educators.

Problem Statement

Traditional educational platforms fail to adapt to individual learning styles and paces, leading to disengagement and poor learning outcomes. Educators lack tools to effectively track student progress and intervene when needed, especially in remote learning environments.

Solution

Gyosu addresses these challenges through:

  • Adaptive Learning AI: Continuously adjusts content difficulty and pacing based on student performance
  • Real-time Collaboration: Virtual study rooms and peer-to-peer learning features
  • Comprehensive Analytics: Detailed insights for educators to identify at-risk students early
  • Seamless Integration: Works with existing educational infrastructure

Growth & Impact

  • 92% user retention rate after 6 months
  • 35% improvement in student learning outcomes
  • 4.8/5 average rating from educators
