Colearn is an edtech company on a mission to revolutionize education in Indonesia. The company is built on a culture of putting students’ learning experience at the center of their goals. Colearn started as a chain of physical tutoring centers. The last two years have seen them pivot to an app-based tutoring format.

We’ve been working with the Blox.ai team for almost a year now. Our vision was to use AI to transform the way students engage with educational content. We began by working with Blox.ai to help students find answers to specific questions but over time, that use case has evolved now creating more immersive, student-led, learning experiences.
Traditional tutoring surfaced three critical issues -
Tutor availability:
Students were used to having a tutor answer their questions. The lack of availability of good tutors proved to be a hindrance.
Shortage of on-demand tutoring:
Tutoring requires on-demand availability of tutors, and hands-on teaching. Tutor shortage meant on-demand tutoring was unavailable during critical times like exams.
Lack of standardization:
There was no single standardized format or method which students could depend on for their learning.
Colearn currently has about 4+ million students using the app and WhatsApp for learning. Students ask anywhere between 200,000 to 1M questions everyday. 5000 hours of tutorial videos are watched as part of learning. Any solution needs to cater to the volume and be flexible enough to scale.
With the challenge to detect the question submitted by the student and matching it to the right video solution explanation from the app’s repository of videos, the key goals identified for the Blox.ai intervention were:
With Blox.ai, Colearn was able to significantly increase the volume of queries they were handling. The high accuracy, flexibility to deliver results across multiple subjects in the native language.
