You may doubt the benefits of new educational tools if you finished school years ago. However, some of these services have plenty to offer, especially as artificial intelligence becomes more robust. As a new AI-based education platform, edYOU provides tools for learners of all ages.
edYOU offers specialty courses in medicine, history, algebra, English, computer science, and other areas. It even provides workforce guidance under its “Skills for Life” section, where you’ll find courses in leadership, entrepreneurship, interview prep, time management, and more.
Dr. Michael Everest, the founder of edYOU, began with Residents Medical, a site offering medical graduate support and medical residency placement assistance for international doctors. While Residents Medical is still operational, Dr. Everest has shifted his focus. “Now, I’ve transitioned the company into edYOU Technologies, with a specific focus on AI. I’ve developed advanced AI beings that mimic human life and hold natural conversational abilities. These AI entities are so realistic that having a conversation with them feels just like talking to me,” he says. “Everything is interactive, with no pre-recorded responses.”
This learning style is critical for the working student. It’s hard to coordinate schedules with fellow students when you’re in college, but it’s even more difficult when you’re a working adult taking classes independently. Many people taking online courses miss out on real-time instruction or interaction with classmates, which makes asking questions extremely difficult.
However, with edYOU, these AI beings can serve as 24/7 tutors, study buddies, or both. They make edYOU unique with human animations that can hold in-depth conversations and discuss course topics. With edYOU, you’ll have access to a highly knowledgeable AI assistant, available whenever you need guidance or support. Your AI study buddy won’t be offended if you only have a few minutes. You can listen to part of a lesson when you have a few minutes or ask your study buddy a quick question.
The AI beings — Hannah, Eddie, and Nova — are designed to adjust their approach to suit learners of all skill levels. Whether you need someone to help teach your child to read or discuss high-level computer science concepts with you, you’ll find what you need with edYOU.
Dr. Everest notes that this kind of accessibility is a big part of why edYOU is such an effective tool for those looking to further their education outside of the classroom. “The platform’s accessibility means that individuals with various circumstances, like single mothers with busy schedules, can still access valuable educational resources and continue their studies,” he says. “This inclusiveness helps society as a whole by providing equal opportunities for people from different walks of life to pursue education and personal growth.”
However, people learning outside of traditional educational environments typically have limited time. This means that for a course of study to be effective, it must be efficient — and edYOU delivers on that front.
“As they say, in traditional learning settings, you read the material and then get quizzed separately,” says Dr. Everest. “With edYOU Technologies, we take a different approach. Our platform integrates the reading and quizzing process seamlessly. You interact directly with the AI, eliminating the need to switch between tools like reading materials and external chatbots. Everything is available in one place, accessible 24 hours a day.”
Many people avoid furthering their education because they worry about balancing work, personal, and home responsibilities. However, thanks to Hannah, Eddie, Nova, and Dr. Everest, edYOU provides education that works around your schedule and is cost-effective.
