Koji: An AI Tutor That Refuses to Give Answers... Trained by Top Learning Experts from MIT and Harvard Claimed to be the World's First "Graphical Private Tutor" You give your child an answer, and they think less; the less they think, the less this ability grows. Koji does the opposite; it doesn't give answers but forces you to think on your own. It can see what you see, even highlighting and annotating screen content in real-time to guide you... A few features:
- Unlike ChatGPT, which only throws a list of steps at you, robbing you of the learning opportunity and fostering AI dependence, Koji asks you, guides you, and forces you to figure out this step on your own.
- It can see your screen, so you don't need to describe the problem to it. Koji is right next to you, watching you solve problems, knowing which step you dragged wrong and where you paused for three seconds.
It knows why you're stuck because it can see.
- "Graphical" is key. Ordinary AI can only chat with you through text. Koji can reach out and edit your work: highlight a region, add annotations to a diagram, or temporarily give you a small problem.
When learning derivatives, it draws along your tangent line with you, rather than responding with text in another window.
- It speaks first, before you ask for help, significantly lowering the threshold for you to ask questions. So, every time you enter a new page, Koji says first: what's different about this problem from the last one, and what should you pay attention to before starting.
Two scenes in the video: Geometry problem: The child incorrectly moves a circle on the canvas. Koji doesn't say "where should it go," but instead draws a few test points and asks, "which ones satisfy the equation of a circle?" forcing the child to deduce that y=0 when x=6. Python lesson: Koji doesn't teach the typical "Hello World" example, as "code is now written by AI"; the child needs to learn how to understand code and catch AI's mistakes. Stuck in an infinite loop? It doesn't give the answer but only reminds you, "you're in an infinite loop," leaving the rest to you to figure out.
