MINDPLEX AI is a startup company from both KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Uppsala University developing the future of learning through Generative AI. MINDPLEX is an AI tutoring system designed to automate the making of study materials, e.g. Q&A, flashcards, and tests, as well as enhancing the user's studying skills, and providing effective guidance of learning through AI tutoring.
At MINDPLEX AI, our vision is to redefine the paradigm of learning and education. Instead of a single teacher or mentor catering to a group of 30+ learners, we offer a groundbreaking approach: every individual receives personalized guidance from their own AI teacher/mentor. This shift isn't just significant—it's a transformation that would have seemed like science fiction a mere three years ago!
The present team comprises two founders: Ahmed Aal Hasoon, the CEO, the designer, and developer of the beta application in TestFlight; and Akram Aal Hasoon, the COO and the company's esteemed economist.
WHAT WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED
In 5 months period we have accomplished the following:
- Full stack development of the beta application in Swift.
- Design, where 93% of users in a study said that the app is easy to use and with good design.
- Market research of 73 interviews and 72 survey analysis, total of 145 people in the study.
- We got 94 beta testers, got feedback from users, improved the application for testing and with 17% of them are early adopters that use the app each week, after 4 weeks from the first cohort.
- 4 employees working in MINDPLEX AI to make the React Native app replica, as for their bachelor examination work thesis at Uppsala University.
- Got accepted to the KTH Innovation Pre-incubator program.
THE JOURNEY AHEAD
- We're developing the MINDPLEX app in React Native with thesis students until Summer. Then, we'll elevate it further until the start of the Autumn semester for a public release.
- Tackling other customer segments for the remaining months of 2024.
