How does the AI coach «courage to leave gaps» create the perfect learning strategy?

Tuesday, November 25 ・ 5:30 - 6:30 p.m.
Michele Romano & Michael Sandmaier

No more exam panic and all-night cramming without a plan! When time is running out, the only strategy is often to have the “courage to leave gaps” – but until now it has been a game of chance. Michele Romano and Michael Sandmaier now present a solution to this problem in this pan.talk with their AI coach of the same name. They go into the details and explain how the MVP they have developed optimizes the learning process in a targeted manner.

The innovative approach was not only awarded 1st place at the ZHAW “BotWerkstatt Hackathon, but is also based on the completely open language model Apertuswhich was developed by ETH and EPFL. Instead of generic advice, as provided by ChatGPT, the AI coach takes a radically new, mathematically optimized approach. It calculates a realistic day-by-day plan based on the learning materials, the time available and the individual’s level of knowledge. For the first time, this shows precisely which gaps in knowledge you can afford to leave in order to pass the exam.

Afterwards, there will be an opportunity to network and exchange ideas over an aperitif.
